Everest Trek

The Everest trek brings you into the heart of the Sherpa home land. A trek for those who aren't sure if they can handle the full Everest base camp trek.

Neat & clean accommodation
A low altitude trek is safer than high alt: and suits all ages
Visit homes of former Sherpas of "Hillary's" vintage.
The homes and lodges make this a truly cultural experience.

On this Everest Trek you might be able to meet up with one of 2 remaining Climbing Sherpas from the 53 Everest Expedition. We also provide you with the privilege to stay in the Lodge of Appa Sherpa the world record holder of 19 Everest summits.
