Drive from Shigatse to Everest Base Camp, you will pass two high mountain passes – Gyatsola (5,200 m) and Pangla Pass (5,250m). On the way, you have opportunity to admire the fascinating view of Himalaya peaks that includes Mt. Makalu (8,463m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Everest (8,848m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,201m) and Mt. Shishapangama (8,020m) (from left to right in your view at the pass). Enjoy wonderful sunset at EBC. Most of the visitors admit that the sunset over the Everest is more fascinating than the sunrise, but since one can only go to EBC once per ticket, the group can choose to view either sunset or sunrise. It takes around 2 hours to hike to E.B.C from the guesthouse (4km). Or you can opt to drive in minibus. Rongbuk Monastery, the highest monastery in Tibet, is abode to both monks and nuns. You can explore the monastery and perceive the ongoing rituals.

5.00My granddaughter and I planned to do a short trek to Pikey Peak. Unfortunately, I broke down on Day 1. Too old, I think. Our guide, Tek, was absolutely a life saver. He went so far above and beyond the brief. He was so kind and compassionate. He rearranged the trip to use Jeeps, he was always looking out for our welfare. Honestly, I would have been in a big problem without his care. Mountain Sun valley and the owner, Rajendra were marvellous. Once we were safely back to Kathmandu, Rajendra and Tek also arranged some great day trips. I can't recommend them highly enough when you visit Nepal.
Just a glimpse of a journey that touched my heart.

5.00My journey to Everest Base Camp was an unforgettable adventure! The breathtaking views, challenging trails, and warm hospitality made it a truly remarkable experience. A special thanks to our guide, Sam (Shyam), whose knowledge and enthusiasm kept our spirits high throughout the trek. Our porters were incredible, carrying our heavy loads with ease and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their hard work made this journey possible, and I am grateful for their support. If you're considering this trek, I highly recommend it. It's a journey that will stay with you! 🏔️🌄

5.00Our trip to Kanchenjunga was a true adventure. Our guide Raju was excellent, professional, accommodating and we really enjoyed his company. He helped to navigate the landslides, bridges that were out, and the myriad tea shops along the way. Would definitely do another trek with them again.
