Overview

This easy-paced trekking holiday in Nepal takes place beneath Mount Everest in the homeland of the hardy Sherpas and starts out with a dramatic flight to Lukla, gateway to the Khumbu. Here, accompanied by our cheerful Sherpa team, we start our trek into a region of high valleys, remote settlements and ancient monasteries, overshadowed by the world's greatest peaks. During 8 days of trekking, we can experience the unrivalled mountain scenery of the Khumbu, enjoying classic views of a host of spectacular peaks including Mount Everest and Ama Dablam.

Beyond the bustling Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar we take a quiet trail to the less often visited village of Thame. Known as the 'second city’ of the Sherpas, here we can absorb the tranquillity of the oldest monastery in the region. We will also visit the immaculate Thyangboche Monastery, where successive Everest Expeditions have received blessings for their climbs from the local Lama. Visiting a succession of Sherpa villages and monasteries overlooked by the snow peaks of the mighty Himalaya, the popular myth of 'Shangri La' will seem all-too-real. On our return to Kathmandu, we have a free day and plenty of opportunity for independent exploration amongst some of the city's highlights. Suitable for any weekend hillwalker, this short trek offers an excellent introduction to the delights of trekking in the Himalayas, including those all-important views of Mount Everest.

Generally, the trekking conditions on this Nepal holiday are easy, following good paths throughout. Additionally, as the Khumbu is Nepal's most popular trekking destination, the area is well supplied with teashops and lodges and the trails between these are well used and present easy walking conditions. This is part of the classic walk-in of expeditions to Everest. As this trek does not go above 4000 metres it should be within the capabilities of any reasonably fit person, though it should be noted that trekking at altitudes above 3000 metres requires a slower pace than you may be used to.

Your holiday starts at the hotel in Kathmandu. Transfers from Kathmandu Airport are provided. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the opportunity to explore the immediate vicinity of the hotel and get acclimatised to this bustling city. Alternatively, you may prefer to recover from your journey by relaxing beside the hotel pool. Your guide will take dinner with you and will provide an informal briefing about the days ahead.

After a 4am pick up from the Kathmandu hotel, we drive 5 hours to Ramechhap where we check in for a late morning, 20 minute flight to Lukla. (Outside of the peak trekking season, flights to Lukla may operate directly from Kathmandu). Landing at Lukla, on the narrow, sloping runway in the heart of the mountains, is a spectacular way to reach the Khumbu. Here, we meet our trekking crew and set off on the first stage of our trek which leads down to the river, then northwards through a number of villages to our lodge in Phakding (2610m).

A very pleasant walk by the river through pine forest leads to a short climb to escape a narrow gorge section. We pass the entrance to the Khumbu National Park where details of our permits are recorded and then drop down again to the river which we cross on a suspension bridge. We continue up the wooded valley on a good trail and cross the river again before reaching a confluence of rivers, one coming down from Thame and the other from the Khumbu. We make a final crossing here on a spectacular high suspension bridge and then begin an hour and half long ascent to Namche Bazaar (3440m) on a wide switch-back trail. This is the sting in the tail of today’s otherwise quite gentle ascent, and one of the steepest of the trek. Just over halfway up this last hill to Namche, we gain our first views of Everest. On arrival in the Sherpa capital, we check into one of the town’s many lodges. Namche has changed tremendously since trekking first became popular in Nepal. The Sherpa people are very adept at working out what visitors need. Many of the Sherpas that own lodges, cafes and shops in the town have visited cities in the USA and Europe and have brought back all sorts of concepts. Today you can find in Namche, German bakeries, Italian coffee, British pubs, pool halls, and hot tubs.

Namche Bazaar lies in a natural amphitheatre formed by two ridges amongst the giant peaks of the Khumbu. The town boasts an abundance of lodges, souvenir shops, restaurants and bars - there is even a German Bakery!. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatising to the new altitude before heading off towards Tyangboche. There is the option to complete a pleasant acclimatisation hike that will take us up above Namche to the ‘Museum of Sherpa Culture’ which provides a valuable insight into the lives of these very special people. Near the museum is a fantastic viewpoint for Everest. We spend a second night at our Namche lodge.

We first climb up to the gompa above the town and here we pick up a trail which contours the bounding ridge of Namche and then follows the Bhote Khosi river through the villages of Phunte, Thamo, Thomde and Somde. The walk takes us through woods of oak, birch and juniper and we pass several impressive mani walls built from tablets of stone intricately carved with prayers in Tibetan script. What will be very noticeable today after the trek from Lukla is the lack of other trekkers in this quiet valley. After approximately 3 or 4 hours walking we reach a suspension bridge slung high across the river and on the other side the trail climbs to Thame. This 'second city' of the Sherpas occupies a strategic location at the junction of routes from the Rolwalling via the Tesi Labcha and from Tibet via the Nangpa La. A little way above the town is a splendid gompa which rewards the effort spent climbing to it and from here there are tremendous views of Ama Dablam, Kangtega and of the nearby Teng Kangpoche and the north side of Kwangde Ri. We stay overnight in Thame.

We retrace our steps of the previous day part way down the Bhote Khosi. Before reaching Namche we turn off the trail and begin a long steady climb to the airstrip at Syangboche. Above here, there is a low col which leads to another major Sherpa settlement, Khunde. The Hillary Hospital is located here and there is an important monastery. Almost conjoined with Kunde is the village of Khumjung and between the two is found the Hillary School. We will pass through both villages before making a short descent to Kangjuma and our overnight halt.

From just outside our lodge we have a wonderful view towards Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam and across to the day’s objective, Thyangboche Monastery, which can be clearly seen atop the wooded ridge below Kang Taiga. We start the day with a long traversing descent to the bridge across the Imja River at Phunki Tenga. Beyond the river, we climb the wooded ridge to reach Thyangboche, one of Nepal’s finest monasteries, where many potential summiteers on Everest have visited to gain the blessing of the llama for their attempt. Thyangboche is situated on the crest of an extension of the north-west ridge of Kangtega (6685m) which towers above the monastery. From this ridge there is a classic view of the Everest/Lhotse massif and of the stunning Ama Dablam. We stay in a lodge below the monastery. Altitude at Thyangboche is 3860 metres.

The group will meet at the hotel in Kathmandu.

Transfers are provided from/to Kathmandu Airport for all clients arriving on Day 1 of the Land Only itinerary and departing on the last day of the Land Only itinerary.

Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

All meals are included in the trip price from dinner on day 1 to breakfast on day 12.

It is not recommended to drink untreated water from the taps. If you are on a trekking or cycling holiday, water is supplied to fill up your individual bottles. This will be boiled, filtered or provided in large jerry cans or 5 litre bottles. Additionally you should take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) to treat your water when in towns or where water is not supplied. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

Typical meals provided in the lodges will include some Nepali dishes but also international cuisine from pizza and chips to apple pie. To ensure that the group can eat together, we order meals in advance and your trip leader will arrange a set menu for the group, which will alternate daily between local and international dishes. Breakfast will usually be porridge, eggs, bread and a hot drink, lunch will be a simple meal with a hot drink, and dinner will be 3 courses consisting of soup, main meal and a simple pudding. If you wish to order additional dishes and/or snacks, you should budget accordingly. Boiled drinking water will be provided at breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the lodges and tea-houses sell snacks, chocolate bars, soft drinks and beer. In Kathmandu we take our meals in the hotel and local restaurants.

In Kathmandu we use comfortable 4 and 5 star accommodation including the Hotel Shanker. Located in the heart of the city, this hotel offers a range of first-class facilities including a pleasant tree-shaded garden area complete with swimming pool. Whilst on trek there are 8 nights in lodges. Accommodation is generally arranged on a twin sharing basis and if you are travelling by yourself you will usually be paired up with someone of the same sex. Please note that at one or two of the higher lodges we may be forced to use multi-bedded rooms. Nepalese trekking lodges are simple, friendly and atmospheric. They generally have heated dining areas which are often attractively decorated. Bedrooms are, however, basic and unheated with wooden beds and foam mattress. You will need a sleeping bag. The lodges have shared washing and toilet facilities. Some lodges have solar powered showers (charged at $2 - $3 per shower) and battery charging facilities (also charged at a rate per hour). Staying at the lodges is a great way to meet fellow hikers and the locals. For the hotel nights in Kathmandu single rooms are available at supplementary cost. It is not possible to arrange single accommodation in lodges. Additional hotel nights in Kathmandu can also be pre-booked.

Access to the high and remote areas of the Himalaya where our treks start is often only possible using internal flights. The changeable nature of mountain weather makes flying conditions complex. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of western nations and all airlines in Nepal appear on the UK Air Safety List (ASL), and are banned from operating commercial air services to, from, and within the United Kingdom. Flying in Nepal is an acknowledged risk, and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice provides further details which you can read on their website. KE is mindful of its duty of care to clients travelling with us in Nepal and we are stakeholders in an annual independent air audit of Nepal airlines undertaken by UK tour operators, most recently undertaken in February 2024. KE uses 5 airlines in Nepal which have been approved by this audit. These airlines are: Buddha Air, Summit Airlines, Shree, Tara and Yeti. We continue to cooperate with other tour operators to monitor aviation safety in Nepal and will ensure we remain a stakeholder in any further air safety audits. While we have taken appropriate action to try to minimise the risks of flying in Nepal, you should be aware that flying in mountainous terrain is not without any risk.

Please note that poor weather can cause delays on internal flights. If at the start of your holiday internal flights are cancelled for the day, you will spend an extra night near the airport (this may be at a hotel other than the group hotel). On the majority of trips there is enough flexibility in the trekking itinerary to make up 1 or possibly 2 lost days, but an alternative trek will be provided if delays to internal flights mean the original itinerary (or a shortened version of it) is no longer feasible.

For trips that end with an internal flight out of the mountains with no alternative road access, we have included 2 nights in Kathmandu as a contingency against delay. In the extremely unlikely event that a delay to your internal flight causes you to miss your homeward international flight, KE will re-book international flights for Flight Inclusive clients, but please be aware that clients booking on a Land Only basis will be responsible for re-booking their onward travel and for any associated costs. We advise you to take out suitable travel insurance and to keep your receipts, as you may subsequently be able to make a claim.

The group will be led by a professional and qualified Nepalese tour leader, assisted by an experienced team including Sherpa guides and porters.

This holiday involves going to high altitude. During the course of your trip you will reach altitudes in excess of 3500 metres. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. You can also talk to one of our trekking experts if you have any concerns about altitude. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.

Approximately £200 (or equivalent in US dollars, Euros etc.) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including porter and trek crew tips, beer, soft drinks etc. It is not necessary to obtain local currency prior to departure. Sterling, US Dollars and Euros are equally acceptable for exchange in Nepal. Please note: Scottish and Northern Ireland bank notes are not accepted in Nepal. We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of cash, since you will exchange the majority of this on the day of your arrival in Kathmandu. If you prefer not to carry all of your spending money in cash, it is possible to withdraw money from ATMs in Kathmandu using your debit or credit card. During the trek it is possible to buy snacks, chocolate, soft drinks and beer on most days. Please be aware that since everything has to be carried up, these items become more expensive as you gain altitude.

Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service. Normally the porters and any other trek staff are given their tips at the end of the trek and this is best done as a group. Your Nepali tour leader will advise the group on an appropriate level of tipping. Most groups will hand out the tips with a bit of ceremony (or sometimes a party) on the last evening, to mark the end of the holiday. As a guide, we recommend that each group member contributes around £60 (in rupees) to these tips. At the end of their trek many people also like to donate various items of equipment to the porters and trek staff who work so hard to make the trip a success. Boots, gloves, hats, scarves and even socks are always warmly received by the porters. Your tour leader will make arrangements for a fair distribution (possibly by raffle) amongst the trek crew. Please note that you will have the opportunity to tip your tour leader separately (and additionally) during dinner on the final evening of the holiday.

Our holidays are normally designed with minimal 'down time' at the start of the trip, but having a day or two at the beginning will have the additional benefit of allowing you time to get over the stress of a long journey or travelling across time zones, leaving you refreshed and ready for your holiday. We can easily arrange for you to have additional nights and airport transfers.

Your main item of luggage should be a sturdy kit bag, duffle bag or similar. This will be carried during the trek by porters or pack animals and must weigh no more than 15kg. If you are picking up a sleeping bag and down jacket from KE in Kathmandu, you need to factor in the weight of these items (around 3kg) and allow space in your bag for them. You should also take on your holiday a daypack of approximately 30 litres capacity. For all flights to and from STOL airstrips in Nepal the maximum allowance for hold baggage AND hand baggage combined is 15kg and you should make every effort to keep to this total weight. It is usually not a problem to check in a couple of kg more than this, but you may be required to pay a small excess luggage charge. It is possible to leave items not required on trek at the hotel in Kathmandu. For your international flights, please check the baggage allowance with your airline.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check for the latest advice before travel. For the most up to date information on entry requirements, please visit the UK Government website.

If you are travelling via India (Delhi or Calcutta) to your destination you may also require a visa for India. This may apply even if you are not leaving the airport unless your baggage has been checked all the way through to your destination. Generally, if you use the same carrier for both legs of your journey, you will not need an India Visa. Please download the detailed information document: Visa PDF India.

Visa Nepal

All nationalities require a visa. The visa process is partly automated and the fee is $30 for 15 days, $50 for 30 days, $125 for 90 days. The visa is FREE for children under 10 years. The visa allows multiple re-entry. Payment must be made in cash and USD, GBP or Euros are accepted.

Part of this on-arrival visa process involves filling in a ‘Tourist Visa Application Form’ and you can simplify the procedure at Kathmandu Airport by filling this form in online (within 15 days of travelling) at this link. This generates a receipt which you present (hard copy or saved on your phone) on arrival. This should allow you to go straight to the cashier to pay for your visa and has the potential to save you time in the visa queue.

Whilst these are not now needed for the visa process, we recommend that you travel with at least 2 spare passport photographs.


Trekking Permits – what do we need from you ?

Mount Everest Marathon (MEM). Everest Monasteries Trek (EVP). Ganesh Himal Panorama Trek (GHP). Lamjung Himal Trek (LHT). Middle Hills Arun River to Dudh Kosi (MHT). Highlights of Dolpo - Tarap to Phoksumdo (DNB). Dolpo to Mugu Trek (DTM).  Around Manaslu Trek (MAN).

For each of these holidays, we need your passport details and we need to send through to Nepal ahead of your departure a scan of the information pages of your passport and a scan of a passport-style photograph of yourself. Please send these scans to us once your holiday is guaranteed.

In addition, for Conservation Area treks and other treks requiring Special Permits – DNB, DTM, MAN – you will be required on arrival in Kathmandu to provide your passport (with your visa) for presentation at the Nepal Tourism Board. Your passport will be returned to you by your tour leader at dinner.

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

Vaccinations

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid.

Malarial prophylaxis is not usually required for trips in the mountains, however if you are visiting rural and remote low lying areas then they might be necessary.

On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.

You should attend your own doctor and dentist for a check-up. Your doctor will have access to the most up to date information on the required vaccinations for the country you are visiting. In general we recommend vaccinations against the following: Polio, Tetanus, Typhoid, Hepatitis ‘A’. Malarial prophylaxis is not recommended for this trip unless you intend to visit the Terrai region of Nepal (such as during an extension to Chitwan National Park). A very good online resource is the UK National Health Travellers website at fitfortravel.nhs.uk

The unit of currency in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee.

It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking holiday getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. Although the trekking on this trip is not difficult or sustained, hiking at altitude is more demanding than similar terrain at lower elevations. We suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime leading up to your trip. Regular hiking in hill country is the best training but any regular exercise such as jogging, squash and swimming is also good for developing cardio vascular fitness and stamina. Before coming on the trip we recommend that you make time for some longer walks in hilly country. It is also a good idea to do some reading about the culture of Nepal and of the Sherpa people who live in the Everest region. There are many books on this subject and some are listed opposite.

October-December and March-May are usually considered the best times to visit Nepal. These months either side of the monsoon are neither too hot nor too cold, offering the best conditions for trekking. At these times you can expect daytime temperatures in the range of 15 - 20 degrees C and feeling quite hot in the mid-day sun. Nightime temperatures outside the lodges may drop to around freezing especially higher up. From January to early April the Everest region is much quieter and although a little colder during the evening and with the possibility of encountering snow, this is a great time to be in the Khumbu if you want to get away from the crowds. Skies are usually clear and bright at this time of the year and it remains warm in the middle of the day. It should always be noted that this is a mountain environment and short-lived storms can occur at any time of the year.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

It has relief shading and a 40m. contour interval. Khumbu Himal. 1: 50,000 Schneider Maps. Nelles Verlag This is a high quality map with a 40 metre contour interval and relief shading which also distinguishes between ice-walls, rock, scree and moraine. This map, once the best available, has been largely superseded by the NG/Nepa map, but it is still a beautiful map to own. Note: All clients will be given a free trekking map in Kathmandu before the start of their trek.

It is an essential condition of joining a holiday with KE Adventure Travel that you have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of medical treatment and to protect the value of your holiday in the event of cancellation.  When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary.

For appropriate insurance cover we recommend Campbell Irvine Direct.  Please go to our Travel Insurance page for further information and to get a quote.

Everything I'd hoped for ★★★★★

Fantastic trip! KE were endlessly helpful beforehand, and all the organisation was superb. Best of all was our guide, Arjun, who worked out very quickly what each person in the group needed and did everything possible to make the trip enjoyable for everyone; he knew when I needed his help and when (and why) I wanted to try things on my own. However, the walking was harder than I expected, with lots of steep steps. I think the best way to train would be to load up a rucksack and run up and down y our stairs every day. Be prepared! And make sure to take plenty of energy bars, because although the food was delicious and (mostly) interesting, you don't get a lot of protein. Also make sure you take a flask that can hold hot water, because the boiled water provided is delivered hot! But be prepared also for spectacular views. You will be stunned every day by what you see. I just wanted to see Everest - and we had perfect weather, so Everest was visible at every possible opportunity - but there were so many other things to see and experience: peaks and powerful rivers, the friendliness of the people, the chaos that is Kathmandu. I was the oldest in my group by quite a long way, and was always the last, but that's fine; nobody criticises, and anyway it's good to take things at a slow pace when you're at altitude. In fact it has its advantages - because I always had a guide with me to point things out, I saw things that other members of the group didn't see. The days were hard sometimes, and the nights were freezing, but apart from that this was a dream trip, and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Challenging, thought provoking trek in stunning countryside. ★★★★

This holiday is a beautiful and humbling experience. Nothing prepares you for the beauty of the countryside, which changes with each twist and turn of the paths. There are the mountains, the turquoise river, the forests, flowers, the animals, the villages and the beautiful, friendly people. And the snow covered mountains seem to be everywhere you look, sometimes peeping out, and sometimes dominating your view. You need to be as fit as possible to enjoy this trip. There is no knowing how altitude will impact you, but fitness will make the trekking so much more enjoyable. Dietary requirements were dealt with very well on the trek, by eating mostly Nepalese vegetarian, gluten free meals. Bring snacks to hoist your energy en route, and a water bladder will make hydration easier than bottles alone. The tour guide and porters are wonderful and will do everything to make you comfortable. The down jacket and sleeping bag are essential for dealing with the very cold nights in the lodges. I would recommend staying a few extra nights in Kathmandu at the beginning and end of the trip to allow time to rest, adjust to changing time zones and catch up on sleep, so that you can enjoy this amazing experience.

BRILLIANT ★★★★★

This trek was a big deal for me; something that I had always wanted to do, and as an older, somewhat apprehensive trekker I found KE to be patient, understanding and with no question too daft for them to address. The trek fulfilled all my expectations with regard to arrangements (great response when the airline ran into financial chaos), and the Guide and Porters were great....The pace of the trek was spot on, and the natural world laid on the rest.... I would not hesitate to book again with KE

Wonderful introduction to Trekking in Himalaya ★★★★★

We chose this relatively short trek as we had limited annual leave but also because we wanted it to be relaxing rather then too much of a challenge. Initially we were worried that the trip was not going to run due to lack of other bookings; but we were kept well informed and given the option of refund / rebook / or pay an additional amount to go on our own. The sum involved seemed reasonable in the circumstances so we chose to go effectively with a private guide for the 2 of us. All transfers an d connections and flight bookings were seamless and efficient; we were whisked through the hurly burly of Kathmandu airport to the calm of the Shanker hotel. The flights in and out of Lukla were as dramatic as promised! Itineraries are designed to have a couple of days slippage in case of bad weather preventing flights out of Lukla- there were no flights for a couple of days after we returned so this seems to be very sensible planning. If there had been any delays effecting us we were confident that being with a persuasive guide and a reputable company would have ensured we got any seats available! Our guide from Lukla was Ricky who seemed to know everybody in Nepal. He was extremely experienced and navigated us effortlessly around the valleys and trails. We were assured of the best rooms and meals and table simply because Ricky was looking after us. He was also quite a spiritual guy and introduced us to the monks and llamas at several monasteries and we joined a service at one of them for an afternoon which made us feel very privileged. We were supported by a young porter; Addy. Addy was unremittingly cheerful and helpful and also knew the valleys and population well enough to do some guiding himself. Ricky always ensure Addy was looked after and accommodated for the night etc The pace of walking was all about altitude and gradient rather than distance; Ricky paced us well and we found this very comfortable; an early start for the best of the weather and usually getting to our destination mid afternoon in time for tea and biscuits. All our lodges were clean and the food was consistently good volumes of carbs ( rice , fried potatoes, noodles etc) with good hygiene and plenty of tea. The boiled water provided each morning for the days trekking pretty much melted our water bottles so we would recommend rigid "Nalgene" type bottles. This was right at the beginning of the season so the weather was by no means guaranteed. we were lucky to have bright clear days with fantastic views of Everest. But it was really cold at night- we had 4 season sleeping bags but were still wearing puffa jackets when we went to bed. Kathmandu had changed massively since I visited 30 years ago and was incredibly noisy dusty and busy but a vibrant and exciting experience. Many of the temples had been damaged in the earthquake but we crammed a huge amount of sightseeing in to 48 hours. Ricky hosted us around Kathmandu as well and convincingly beat us at Scrabble each night- we let him keep the set..... The gentler walk around the lower valleys was definitely the right choice for us on this occasion; we came back relaxed and energised. But it has definitely given us the bug for trekking in Nepal and we hope to be back soon; possibly Base Camp or Annapurna but Ricky really recommends Ganesh Himal...... Richard and Carolyn

Wonderful introduction to Nepal, with views of Everest
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This was my first trip to Nepal, travelling solo. It lived up to my hopes and expectations in almost every way. The 8 day trek was the highlight, sandwiched between thrilling flights to and from Lukla. We were a group of just three, which worked well for me, meaning I had a room to myself every night on trek as my travelling companions were a couple. We got our first view of Everest from the view point above Namche and later enjoyed excellent views from Tengboche, Khunde and Kangjuma. Altitude u p to 4000 metres presented no problems for any of us. After the mountain air, three days in Kathmandu (I paid for one extra night) was sufficient for me - I saw all the sites I wanted to and experienced the clamour and chaos of the city. A wonderful trip that I'll never forget.
