As home to the Sherpas and the site of Mount Everest, Lhotse and Cho Oyu - three of the world's seven highest mountains - the Khumbu region of Nepal is unquestionably the most popular place for trekking in the Himalayas.

While most of us can only dream of summiting this mighty mountain, our stunning trek allows you to become seduced by the myths and excitement of Mount Everest and the dynamic region of the Sherpa people.

You will have the opportunity to explore its lower majesty and witness ancient Tibetan Buddhism. Your guides will help you to understand the awe-inspiring environment.

This will be a journey to sacred regions, offering a lifetime of impressions and reflections. Most days are nothing short of breathtaking while you walk amidst the Himalayan giants to the jingle of yak bells.

Trekking is perfectly safe with our experienced guides and anyone of moderate fitness who prepares with a little pre-trip training can manage the route with ease. In the mountain villages you can expect the ready smiles and natural hospitality for which the hardy locals are rightly famed.

The trip lasts 19 days in total, departing the 20th November and returning 8th December 2008. Three nights will be spent in the Summit Hotel in Kathmandu and the remaining nights camping in remarkable comfort under the stars!
