Trekking in Nepal is nirvana to experienced mountaineers and hikers. There is simply no better place in the world to come face-to-face with the majestic Himalayas. The trek begins in Lukla at 8,500 feet and will take you for 13 days through remote ancient villages where you will gaze at yaks, wildflowers, mountain goats and the Sherpa people and the mountains. The view from Kalapathar (18,195 ft) provides an awesome, up-close view of the south face of Everest. Monuments erected in recognition of climbers of Mt. Everest are an inspirational addition to the magnificent landscape. Join Joyce Bork as she shows details of her recent trip with Grand Asian Journeys. Free admission but advance registration is strongly suggested.
