Many trekkers find the walk to Everest better than the destination itself. The Everest trekking areas offer a visit to the homeland of Sherpas, a chance to get close to the highest mountain in the world, as well as the feeling in one that of surrounded by Peaks. This treks covers moderate to challenging plus graded treks takes to you to the foot of Mt. Everest traversing across the high Cho-La pass at an elevation of 5420 meters. Also included is the opportunity to trek to the summit of both Gokyo Ri (5340m.) and Kala Pattar (5554m.) for magnificent views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.
