Ultimate Everest Trek
This is the most comprehensive and challenging Everest
trek - the Ultimate Everest Trek ( UET ) - a 26-day trek encompassing
the highest points in the Everest region - Kala Pattar (5545-m), Everest Base Camp (5365-m), Chhukung Ri
(5560-m), Cho La
pass (5420-m), Gokyo Ri (5350-m), and
the Renjo La (5340m).
Kala Pattar, with its sensational views of Everest’s
entire South Face and West Ridge, is where most of the famous photographs
of Everest were taken. The Everest Base Camp, located just below the
awesome Khumbu Icefall, is the main camp for mountaineers aspiring to
climb to the vertical end of the world. Gokyo Ri is where one can see
more of Everest plus the other three Eight-Thousanders - Cho Oyu (8153-m),
Lhotse (8501-m) and Makalu (8463-m).
The hike up the wild Chhukung (Imja Khola) Valley presents
one with some fabulous views including the stupendous, 3600-m-high wall
of Lhotse (8501-m), neighbor to Everest, and the north face of Ama Dablam,
with its fluted ice walls. The high ridge point of Chhukung Ri (5560-m)
will provide an incredible amphitheater view of the Chhukung area as
well as the west face of Makalu (8463-m).
These mountains are magical--and so are our encounters
with the Sherpa people, the famous mountain dwellers of this Himalayan
wonderland. As in the classic Everest Base Camp trek, the warmth and
hospitality extended by the local inhabitants of this region, the Sherpas,
will add a further dimension to our experience of Nepal.
This is our most physically demanding Nepal trek -
it's the ULTIMATE trek for the hard-core adventure trekker & Everest
fan.
