    The Ultimate Everest Trek

    Trek along three spectacular glacial valleys in the Khumbu with spectacular views of Mt. Everest.

    The Ultimate Everest is really a once in a lifetime trek. We walk amongst some of the most spectacular mountains in the world and trek to three of the Khumbu region's massive glacial valleys.

    We begin our trek with a journey from Lukla to Namche Bazaar from where we head west to Gokyo. This glacial valley has beautiful lakes where you occassionally find birds that have flown across from Tibet.

    We trek up Gokyo ri and enjoy a magnificent 360° view of Cho Oyu, Mt. Everest and Makalu. We explore the glacial valley of Ngojumba before heading off to Lobuche. To do so we cross over the Cho-la (pass) but have the option of going around through the village of Phortse. From Lobuche at the end of the Khumbu Glacier we trek to Kala Pathar from where we have fantastic views of Mt. Everest, the Khumbu icefall and Everest base camp. We then trek back down the Khumbu valley to Dughla then east across the Kong-la Pass to Chukkung from where we have superb views of Nuptse, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.

    The trip back takes us through the villages of Pangboche and Thyangboche back to Lukla and Kathmandu.
