HIDDEN VALLEYS OF KHUMBU

Beyond the traditional Everest base camp trek

 

THE TREK

A spectacular early morning flight to the mountain airstrip of Lukla begins your adventure as you first descend into the Dudh Kosi Valley and then the following day ascend to the bustling bazar of Namche above which lies the ridge from where you catch your first glimpse of the highest point on earth – Mt Everest.  With everyday the views get more spectacular as you find your self walking deeper into the mountains through a landscape of rhododendron forests and hillsides rich in wildlife.

On day 4 you leave the busy trail as we take you to an undisturbed part of the valley off the beaten trail. For 3 nights you are on your own at our private deluxe camp with unobstructed view of the Lhotse Wall and Mt Everest to the north and the access to two alpine valleys – Khangtaiga & Ama Dabalam. Sharing the undisturbed landscape with pheasants and Musk deer.

After 3 magical days in the hidden valleys of the Khumbu you are picked up by helicopter for an Aerial spectacle of the Khumbu Glacier and Mt Everest before returning to Kathmandu.
