Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Cho-Oyu and many others.


On this trek, trekkers will have the chance to explore and enjoy the natural landscapes of both hilly and the Himalayan regions. In addition to these fabulous natural landscapes, trekkers will also gain insight into different local communities, culture, people, and their way of life. Most of the time on this trek, trekkers will come across Sherpa people. They are the locals in the majority of regions, and their gracious hospitality has always enchanted their hearts.
