The views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku will blow you away as you trek through Sherpa land, meeting the local people in traditional villages.
You will pass through the hillside town of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital and gateway to the high Himalaya, soaking up its vibrant atmosphere and colorful culture.
