Arrive Kathmandu please make your own arrangements however, once you arrive we'll look after you from the airport, to the trek and back to the airport at the end. No fuss. No stress. Priority. You will be picked up at the airport by our tour operator


General Description

This is the cold season in Nepal. You'll need to be happy about that. The temperatures do drop well below zero at night and can be cold in the day. We wear down clothing at higher altitudes. This cold weather has many benefits: they include great photography, no tourists, and lots of warm open fires in the mountains. We provide gloves, jackets and sleeping bags suitable for these conditions.

We stay in lodges under the shadow of the Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Thamaserku peaks in our journey to (either Gokyo or Everest base camp and Kalapathar); selected among the world's top 20 classic Journeys of Lifetime by the Observer, UK. We enjoy good food and traditional Sherpa hospitality. With time for acclimatisation rest days on the way up we walk on relaxed pace below the incredible snow capped peaks, through the beautiful forest and Himalayan Sherpa settlements.
