This classic expedition is perhaps one of the most famous in the World. We trek up wooded valleys and bare mountain sides on route to the most inspiring view points of Mount Everest at 5500m before trekking to Base camp at the very foot of Everest. Island Peak is then a tackled by it's classic ridge route and inspiring views of 8000m Lhotse.

Along this trekking route you will be fully immersed in the heart of Nepal with towering 8000m Peaks surrounding the trail as well as the Sherpa culture through which we travel.

This trip draws on experience to provide an ideal itinerary and leadership package to suit a range of aspirations and abilities from someone who is new to trekking through to an experienced Climber wanting a solid introduction to high altitude Mountaineering in the greater ranges.
