The most popular introduction to trekking in the Everest region. A trek that leads through the famous Buddhist villages and monasteries of the Sherpa people while affording unparalleled views of some of the world's highest peaks. The highlights of this trip are the days spent trekking above Namche Bazaar.
Here we get beyond the established trails to our alpine camp beneath the awesome flanks of Ama Dablam. From our spectacular vantage point we gain a breathtaking 360 degree mountain panorama that culminates in the distinctive summit of Everest looming above the Nuptse-Lhotse Wall.
A further dimension to our trek is a visit to the Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung where we visit some of Sir Edmund Hillary's projects that we proudly support though the Himalayan Trust.

How this holiday makes a difference
Porters are an integral part of this trek and our close association with the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) and Porters’ Progress demonstrates our commitment to improving their conditions and at the same time lessening the environmental impact. We subscribe to the five guidelines suggested by the IPPG and have also gone one step further. Twenty years ago we pioneered the use of kerosene rather than wood fires and today are one of the first adopt a policy of providing shelter, cooking equipment, food, kerosene for ALL our porters. By joining this trek you can be assured that you will NOT be contributing to deforestation or the associated soil erosion and loss of biodiversity but rather you’ll be making a significant contribution by supporting our efforts to set the standards for a sustainable trekking service.
