Our tour begins with visiting cultural and religiously significant places in the Kathmandu Valley. After spending time in the ancient valley sightseeing and shopping, the tour turns to the trekking portion of the adventure. The trek from Jiri to Phakding offers peaceful serenity with its quiet environments and calm scenes. It includes going through small villages all the while the trail descends into the deep river; valleys, and up onto steep slopes sometimes covered in terraced fields and tiny homes. Each person you meet along the way is happy to smile and say hello. In Namche Bazaar also known as a tourist hub, we take a day off to relax and wander around the town. It will also be an important day to acclimatize the body as we gain in elevation.
