Everest
Classic Trekking
We fly to Lukla and begin trekking through
the land of the legendary Sherpas into
the Sagarmatha (Everest) national park.
Since
the successful ascent of Everest the
Khumbu region has enjoyed international
attention. We will follow the footsteps
of Tenzing Norgay, Hillary, Bonnington
and Messner. We follow the classic trail
to Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Pangboche
and Lobuche to the Everest Base Camp
and go on to Kalapattar.
From
Tengboche to Pangboche (3,985m) the
trail rises through meadows where yak
graze. After touring the monastery we
set out and cross the Lobuche Khola
to arrive at Pheriche. After crossing
the moraines of the Changri Shar Glacier,
we reach the sandy plain of Gorakshep.
Then we climb up amongst large boulders
to the broad summit of Kalapattar (5,545m),
which offers the best view of Everest
and Khumbu Glacier.
Whether
it may be called Everest, Sagarmatha
or Chomolongma, the highest peak of
this planet is stunning to behold. The
trek will end at Shyangboche or Lukla
and fly out to Katmandu.
