This trek is one of the classic treks in the Khumbu
region. Beginning in Jiri you traverse the many ups and
downs of the Himalayan foot hills and head up into the
heart of the mountains that make up the Everest Range.
Along the way you will pass through many traditional
Sherpa Villages and at times stay in them amongst the
Sherpa people. The sherpa people are native to the area
and are world famous for their climibing skills at high
altitudes. They have a different and fascinating culture
and way of life. This trek allows you to explore their
culture and interact with the Sherpa people, visiting
their villages and homes, eating their food and
experience their relgion and way of life. Its one of the
rare chances in life to gain an insight into a mostly
unchanged cultural system, and a chance that will live
with you throughout your days.
