Here, we ascend Gokyo Ri which is one of the finest vantage points for Mount Everest. Crossing into the Khumbu Valley by way of the high and challenging Cho La ( 5420m), we climb to the ' trekkers summit' of Kala Patar ( 5600m) which affords more stunning views of Everest and of the astonishing Khumbu Icefall.

Following the famous ' Everest Trail', we trek to the prosperous village of Namche Bazaar and onwards, alongside the torrential Imja Khola, to the high valley below Everest.

Providing outrageous mountain views and a wonderful insight into the way of life of the hardy Sherpas, this is the perfect trip for a first visit to Nepal and the Himalayas.
