This trek is comparatively easy one to some of other treks.
The trek takes you up high along trails to Tengboche Monastery
(3850m). Although, it is a short trek, offers very scenic
trek giving you a really superb view of the world's highest
peaks, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Thamserku,
Mt. Amadablam & other many snowy peaks.. This
trek starts from Lukla after taking 30 minutes scenic
flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. From there we trek up
to Namche Bazaar, Tyangboche (famous for its monastery,
mountain views), Khumjung village, which offers a very
nice settlement of Sherpas people.
This trek definitely gives a great introduction to Sherpa
country & its culture along with fine mountain views.
During trekking, you really find the area as a very
popular destination for first time trekkers in Nepal.
The trek is best suited especially for those people
who haven't enough time for longer treks into the high
mountains. |
