The trek through Sherpa-land offers an insight into their unique culture and lifestyle. Known for their feats of courage and endurance on the world’s highest mountains, for their understanding, hardiness and humors, the Sherpas are indispensable in managing treks.
After a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,800m), the trek begins through the trails that wind slowly downwards to touch the Dudhkoshi River passing through fragrant forests of juniper, blue pine and fir. Between 3,600m and 4,200m birch and rhododendron trees predominate. Namche Bazaar (3,440m), the largest of Sherpa settlements is right after the walk along a steep uphill trail. Thyangboche, the Buddhist monastery is further above after a long climb. The original monastery was burnt down in an accidental fire resulting in loss of invaluable religious paintings and scrolls. The newly-reconstructed gompa is famous as the setting for the Mani Rimdu dance festival in late October or early November. Views of Mt. Everest (8,850m). Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,855m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), Cho-Oyu (8,201m), from here are simply awe-inspiring. On the way the rare musk deer, the national bird of Nepal - the colorful Danphe pheasant, the Ghoral, the Himalayan wolf and the black Bear and endangered species like the snow Leopard, the red Panda are sometimes spotted.
