ARUN VALLEY " SALPA PASS " & EVEREST TREK

Experience the full variety that the Everest region has to offer tropical valleys, thundering rivers, bustling markets, glacial valleys and snow clad peaks.

This trek begins with a mountain flight, always exciting, to Tumlingar before heading into the beautiful and remote Arun Valley in the eastern Everest region - an area astoundingly rich in flora and fauna, with numerous species of birds and animals found no where else in the country. From the fertile tropical valleys inhabited by Rai peoples cross the Salpa Bhanjyang pass and alpine ridges to reach the Dudh Kosi Valley, heartland of the Sherpa. Namche Bazaar is a colorful, bustling market with traders from surrounding villages and as far as Tibet, and from Tengboche the views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam are sensational. Continue into the rugged mountain terrain at the base of Everest where the peaks of Nuptse (7879m) and Lhotse (8511m) tower above as we approach the summit of Kala Pattar (5545)

Accommodation
Whilst trekking accommodation is in lodges and teahouses and is of a basic standard. Rooms may be twin or multi share with basic shared toilet facilities. Showers are available in some places for a small charge.
