All Tours > NEPAL
TOUR DESCRIPTION Kalar Patar is the hightpoint recognised as the best vantage point to see Mount Everest; it has long been the premier goal for many adventurous walkers. After exploring Kathmandu we take an exciting mountain flight to Lukla, gateway to the Everest region. We then trek north to the bustling Sherpa "capital", Namche Bazaar, and on to magnificent Thyangboche Monastery. In the shadow of the Everest massif and Ama Dablam, and surrounded by Buddhist prayer flags, staying here is one of the highlights. As we ascend to Dingboche, the alpine scenery becomes even more rugged. It is then a steady ascent following glacial moraines, to our lodge at Gorak Sherp. From here we climb to the summit of Kala Patar for brilliant views of Mount Everest and Lhotse, and a breathtaking 360 degree panorama of the world's highest mountains. We trek to the historic site of Everest Camp before returning to Lobuje and starting our journey back to Kathmandu.
