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 climbing 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 religion 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.
