    Everest Sherpa Country Trek

    Everest offers an enduring experience of natural beauty, geological magnificence and profound cross-cultural discovery. This trek follows much of the same route as the early Everest climbing expeditions, but in a spirit of understanding and ecological awareness rather than conquest and takes you deep into the Khumbu area, home of the Sherpa people. JOURNEYS encourages you to immerse yourself in the spirit and sanctity of this area as your Sherpa staff help you to understand their culture by inviting you into their homes, facilitate conversations with lamas, local farmers and national park officials. We believe that this trek is one of the most exceptional and enlightening things you can do in your life.

    "The JOURNEYS staff was wonderful! Natang was just great. His knowledge of the trail was outstanding. He was kind and a pleasure to have as a guide. This trek was physically demanding, but the best trip I've ever been on!"
