This trek takes you around the Everest region, which
has recently witnessed the renaissance of Tibetan Buddhism
with the renovation of Thyangboche Monastery at (3870
m), one of the world's highest Buddhist Monasteries.
Lamaistic Buddhism plays an integral part and is influential
in the lives of these Sherpa people. En route Buddhist
Nyingmapa monasteries and monks, the ever-present yaks,
high pastures and mountains that are unforgettable in
their gem-like presence, will fascinate you. Reincarnated
Lamas, the Yeti's scalp, saffron robed monks and legendary
mountains of Khumbu - Everest (8848 m), Kwangde (6187
m) Ama Dablam (6812 m), Lhotse (8501 m) and Nuptse (7879
m) offer a stupendous backdrop for the experience of
a lifetime.
