After exploring Kathmandu, we fly to Lukla and then commence
walking up the Dudh Kosi Valley through pine and rhododendron
forests, with the river cascading below the trail. We trek slowly,
with plenty of rest stops to aid acclimatization and take in the
dramatic mountain scenery. The path to Namche Bazaar is well-worn
by yaks, traders, locals and trekkers alike, and the ascent is
steep towards the end. Our reward is a spectacular mountain vista,
with views of Thamserku (6608m), Kusum Kanguru (6369m), Nuptse
(7861m) and Lhotse (8501m).
We spend a rest day at Namche, with an opportunity to relax,
shop or take a short day walk.Then we head upwards to spend a
night at the peaceful and spiritual Thyangboche monastery, located
high on an open ridge and offering superb views of Everest, Ama
Dablam and other Himalayan giants.

 On
our return, we pass through the village of Sanasa, a Tibetan trading
post, or pretty Khumjung/Kunde where a visit to Everest View Hotel
is possible.
The trek ends in Lukla, where we share a farewell meal with
our trekking crew. The following day we fly back to Kathmandu
for more time to explore, shop, relax, or sample the fare and
atmosphere at one of Kathmandu's many excellent restaurants.
