Adventure Everest [Everest high passes ]
A challenging, 'best of the Everest region' journey through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Himalaya with guides who spend all their time in the Himalaya; our trek is a window into traditional Sherpa villages and 'gompas' (monasteries), their mountain Buddhist culture and their sacred peaks and valley. Not only peaks, the Everest region is an incredibly spiritual place, and we have the chance to visit its many colorful gompas, and have tea with their monks; Tengboche, Pangboche, Namche, Khumjung, Khunde, Thame Ani gompa
Some of the highlights of our trek: the Chhukung Valley and climbing Chhukung Ri, visiting Ama Dablam Base Camp, trekking to Everest Base Camp and climbing Kala Patthar peak, the Gokyo lakes and climbing Gokyo Ri, and crossing the Renjo La to emerge in the pristine Thame valley. Throughout, we are surrounded by spectacular 8000 meter peak panoramas
