We ascend through the trekking trail of the Everest region passing through some established and colored villages of Sherpa people.amadablam-Panorama

At Namche Bazaar on the route, we take one day enough acclimatization at a lower altitude, then head for the Pangboche for the surreal view of the Himalayas. The next day early morning we ascend from Pangboche to the Ama Dablam base camp (4,500m), away from the popular trail to savor the Himalayas.

From the base camp of Mt. Ama Dablam, we can enjoy spectacular 360-degree mountain panoramic views of distinctive peaks and high above Mt. Lhotse-Nuptse massif.

Returning from the vicinity of the Himalayas, we shall explore the authentic lifestyle of the Sherpa community of Khumjung village and explore the rich cultural heritage, and lifestyles of Khumbu people at Namche Bazaar.  After the end at Lukla, we back to the capital city Kathmandu and enjoy the world heritage sites.

We commence this as a fascinating trek and enjoy the exploration of some of the best natural sightseeing and cultural touch of Nepal.

So, the guide or leader will provide you with the best alternative during your trek.  The price of the trip will be according to the standard of hotel, group size, duration, and date of travel for the tailor-made program.

Everest-Amadablam-Panaroma-tengbocheRegarding flight in the mountain region

Mostly twin otter is the most common means of air transportation in the Nepalese sky and during flight in the Himalayan region of Nepal, the flight schedule is canceled and change from time to time due to poor visibility, weather condition, and many other technical problems.

In such a case, we would charter a helicopter for our guests regarding the schedule of their international flight and for the different problems that arise in the trek. The charter cost should be paid at the head office of Tourist link Trek at Thamel and later on, you can claim with your travel insurance.

As per Nepal Civil aviation rules, the helicopter will fly, if the visibility is up to 1500m and visibility should be 5000m for flying Twin Otter in Nepalese sky.

An amount of 10% from every trip booking at Life Himalaya will go into the account of the Ganesh Himal Community Foundation.
