Treks: Khumbu Highland

The Khumbu Highland Trek

Grade Length
Moderate 17 days

Description
This schedule is for those who prefer not to go to the highest trekking destinations. All nights are spend below 4,300 meters, yet the Himalayan panoramas from Dingboche and Pheriche are world class. On the 'rest' day at Dingboche, an excellent option is to day hike to the hamlet of Chukkung near the base of Lhotse for still more spectacular views.
