Beyond Himalaya of Nepal!

Trekking to the North & East Faces of Everest leads you to the rarely visited eastern face of Mount Everest (also known as Khangsung Face). A visit to the famous North Face Everest Base Camp is another highlight of this trip. The trail passes through alpine meadows, forests filled with wildflowers, glaciated valleys, high mountain passes, traditional Tibetan villages, ancient monasteries, rich barley fields, picturesque yak pastures, Tibetan nomadic land, emerald green lakes, and so many other captivating sights.

Your North Face Everest Base Camp journey starts in Lhasa, where you have plenty of time to get used to the altitude and take in the distinctive charm of Tibetan cultural heritage. The complexities and mystique of Tibetan Buddhism will be explained to you by a knowledgeable Tibetan guide as you are shown around the most important and historic monasteries in Lhasa, Gyantse, and Shigatse.

Driving along the Friendship Highway you pass through small Tibetan settlements, where you will see nomadic herdsmen wandering across the wide arid plains. You will meet the trekking support crew at the trail head point at Kharta. Yaks will carry the food supplies and trekking equipment. You camp amidst spectacular mountain scenery. Crossing the 5330 meter high Langma La (pass), the highest point of the trek, on your way to Everest’s east base camp gives you an ultimate high altitude experience. Some of the peaks that you get to view on this trek are Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, Menlungtse, Gauri Shankar and the Kanchenjunga massif.
