• Follow in the footsteps of the early Himalayan expeditions
• Trek from the foothills of Nepal to the highest peaks
• Trekking holiday with all the best Khumbu views

Starting the trek to Mount Everest at Jiri, we follow the same walk-in as the earliest Everest expeditions of the 1950's. For the first week, it's a real roller-coaster holiday, as we trek between the remote valleys of the Solu Khumbu and set up our camp each night at peaceful Sherpa villages. Reaching the Dudh Kosi River, we head north to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to one of the most remarkable mountain landscapes on earth. Fit and acclimatised after our long approach, we can enjoy all of the sights of the high Khumbu, as our trek continues through the monastery village of Thyangboche and on towards Everest. Above the highest of the Khumbu's tea-houses at Gorak Shep (5288m), there is the option to hike along the Khumbu Glacier to Everest basecamp and also to climb to the top of Kala Patar, for arguably the best Everest views.
