Here, the cultural richness of the region comes alive, with bustling markets and the warm hospitality of the Sherpa people.

As you ascend through pine forests and cross suspension bridges, the views of Thamserku and Kongde Ri are nothing short of breathtaking. The UV index peaks at 9, so don’t forget your sunscreen as you immerse yourself in the local culture.
