KHUMBU CLASSIC

We also offer shorter 10 days trek through khumbu, while enjoying the spectacular view of surrounding mountains including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Amadablam, Thamserku and many others. Experience the Sherpa cultures first hand by visiting two of the oldest and famous monasteries in Thame and Thangboche. 

Not many operators trek to Thame, village of Tenzing Sherpa , Apa Sherpa (super Sherpa) Ang rita Sherpa (snow leopard) and Kami rita Sherpa (everest man). We like to give our clients an opportunity to visit the village where most of the famous climbers were born and raised.


Much of the joy of this spectacular trek is getting to know the Sherpa people, visiting Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and lively trailside teahouses, sipping homemade chang (beer made from barley) with new-found friends and learning how Tibetan Buddhism influences every aspect of Sherpa life. This is truly a pilgrimage that any lover of the mountains will consider the opportunity of a lifetime.
