Trip description

Everest trek in Nepal is one of the most popular trekking routes for tourists traveling to the Everest region. Especially for those who love to discover Buddhism and its hidden treasures, a visit to Tengboche Monastery will be a very personal Buddhist experience.

Generally, people visit this isolated and lonely area of Nepal to relieve their stressed mind. The hospitality of the people around the monastery enchants them in such a way that they come again and again and create warm memories of Nepal in their hearts throughout their lives.

The journey to Tengboche begins with a 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Then the trek continues to a beautiful valley called Dudh Koshi valley to reach the most visited city in the region Namche Bazaar.

Afterwards, the journey continues to the beautiful Tengboche Monastery, a place surrounded by Himalayan forests, which is considered sacred and rich in the wilderness. It is also a place from where we can see not only Everest, but also another beautiful mountain, Ama Dablam. Then he returns to Namche and takes a sightseeing flight by helicopter over Everest base camp and the surrounding 8,000-meter mountains and finally to Lukla.

We trek in small groups!

Start discovering the world of the Himalayas.
