🌿 Cultural Note
The typical trail of trekking in Nepal that goes up and down the rolling hills so many times like the waves in an ocean. The landscapes including the Himalayan panorama that gradually comes closer and becomes more wonderful as the trek goes higher & higher towards Everest Base Camp. Also, the views of deep Dudh Koshi River “Milky River” Valley blended so well with the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park. Sagarmatha “Head of the Ocean” is the Nepali name of Mount Everest. The authentic Sherpa culture in the mountainous villages that we encounter during this high 03 passes Trekking and the warm hospitality of the families of indomitable mountaineers who are born most in these villages. The highland monasteries, the sacred Prayer walls engraved with Buddhist prayers, colorful prayer flags portraying spirituality, the memorials, chortens and the every aspect that demonstrates Tantric Buddhism of Nygingma Pa Sect in Buddhism. The floral and faunal biodiversity of Sagarmatha National Park where about musk deer, Himalayan goats, Blue Sheep and Pheasants birds, Brahmins’ ducks, Kalij, Tibetan Snow Cock, Golden Eagles are very popular & “must visible” into this region. Kalapattar (5545m/18,192ft) is one of the nearest vantage points (Panoramic of 360 degree Himalayan & Glaciers) to see the Mount Everest and other many Snow-capped Himalayas and Khumbu Glaciers and small Ponds surrounding over it. The glacial walk over Khumbu Glacier that extends from Khumbu Icefall. The most important highlight the Everest Base Camp itself. The Gokyo Lakes and the Gokyo RI (5465m) from where 360 degree of Himalayan Panorama could be seen. Three major passes which can have an experience of your lifetime. The Kongma La pass is the highest pass among them. Cho La pass is an Icy and interesting glacier crossing of CHOLA Glaciers in itself before the pass, whereas, Renjo La pass is found by an experienced Sherpa more & less 12/15 years before. This is a fusion of adventure and ethnic Himalaya culture as they are mingling each other.
