| If you thought the only way to see Everest meant sleeping bags and thin rations, think again!
It was inevitable that the resourceful Sherpa people would upgrade the traditional mountain lodge to near hotel standard, providing a service and quality of experience that would attract those who really don’t want to rough it to be amongst the most spectacular and famous mountains in the world. In stunning locations, these new lodges are beautifully designed, combining traditional stone and wood-carving crafts with excellent facilities - en-suite bathrooms at 13,000ft. The trek itself takes a very leisurely pace (with side options to stimulate the most eager clients) to the most beautiful unspoilt valleys and viewpoints of the Everest foothills. Up the wonderful Dudh Kosi valley, we visit the famous Namche Bazaar market, on the way to our closest view of Everest (of many) from Thyangboche monastery, the most important in Khumbu. We visit real Sherpa villages like Khumjung with its stunning view of Ama Dablam, on the way to the gorgeous Nangpo valley, entirely unspoilt, off the tourist trail and rich with wildlife, and the stunningly located monasteries of Mende and Thame. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
