Mount Everest (locally called
Sagarmatha) fascinates the world by being the
top of the world. This trek unfolds all the
spectacular, stunning beautiful mountains
including Everest from the low elevation in the
shortest time period, which is the reason it is
called Instant Everest Trek or Teahouse Everest
Trek.
We fly to Lukla (2827 meters) with spectacular
views of the mountains and ascend through the
Dudh Koshi valley to the Sherpa settlement of
Namche Bazaar (3440 meters) an unofficial
capital of the Sherpas. Walking through the
lovely forest to the world renowned and sacred
monastery of Thyangboche (3867 meteres) is
rewarded with the views of Everest soaring
behind Nuptse, Lhotse, Amadablam, Kangtega and
Tawache.The traditional Sherpa village of
Khumjung shows you the Sherpa life style and so
called Yeti scalp in the monastery before you
come back and fly out from Lukla to Kathmandu to
end your exhilarating trek to Everest
