We fly to Lukla and begin trekking through the land of the legendary Sherpas into the Sagarmatha (Everest) national park. We will follow the footsteps of Tenzing Norgay, Hillary, Bonnington and Messner. We follow the classic trail to Namche bazaar, Khumjung, Pangboche and Lobuche to the Everest Base Camp and go on to Kalapathar.
From Tengboche to Pangboche (3,985m) the trail rises through meadows where yak graze. After touring the monastery, we set out and cross the Lobuche Khola to arrive at Pheriche. Crossing the moraines of the Changri Shar Glacier, we reach the sandy plain of Gorakshep. Then we climb up amongst large boulders to the broad summit of Kalapathar (5,545m), which offers the best view of Everest and Khumbu Glacier. The trek ends at Syangboche or Lukla.
