This 8 days trek begins with an "eye opening" flight to Lukla at 9200 feet. The trek goes to the picturesque Sherpa villages of Namche Bazaar, Khunde and Khumjung and Thengboche before finally reaching to Dingboche. Although this is a short trek, by Nepal standards, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the culture of the Sherpas, visit ancient monasteries and learn how Lamaistic Buddhism influences Sherpa life. Stop at any of the numerous tea houses sip a glass of sweetened tea or Chang (millet beer) and get a taste of hospitality unique to the Sherpas Beautiful, multi-hued prayer flags, prayer wheels and intricately-carved mani stones line every hilltop, rock wall and trail side singing prayers to the gods with every breeze and every passing traveller.
