HALF-PRICE SALE - WAS $9.99 - LIMITED TIME OFFER

Few places on earth can offer the majesty of "The Roof of the World," and the thrill of trekking to glacial drifts and Tibetan monasteries.

From lush, forested valleys to barren glaciers, trekking in the Everest Himalaya offers beauty and wonder in its most extreme forms. The tour begins with the flight from Kathmandu and continues to the sacred lakes of Gokyo, the high mountain pass of Cho La, and culminates in a visit to Everest Base Camp itself. This landscape ranges from surreal to jaw-dropping, and is unlike any other place on earth. Moderate fitness and great willpower are the most essential ingredients for trekking through rarefied air, in the shadow of “the roof of the world.”
