This is a unique trek beginning in the lower Everest region, an area of exceptional scenic beauty, then taking us through villages untouched by tourism to cross the Everest trail.
This trek includes a visit to the Thubten Choling Gompa (monastery) with its 150 monks, exiled by Chinese repression, worshipping in their beautifully painted monastery building.
The trek will also include visits to a number of other Buddhist monasteries, a visit to a School and Health Post funded by CAN in a remote Nepali community and an opportunity for those with the energy to trek to a height of 13,604 ft on the Konglemu Danda (ridge) to experience spectacular views of surrounding mountains including Everest.
