Information on booking international flights
Luxury lodge trekking is the best way of exploring Nepal in style while staying in the comfortable lodges of the Everest region; the Everest Summit Lodges ("ESLs") are at a standard far better than anything else available in the area.
The lodges provide the highest level of service while on trek with landscaped gardens, comfortable lounges and bedrooms with hot showers and western toilets.
The trek between lodges takes you through beautiful Nepalese villages with spectacular views of the Khumbu and Everest region. This is a moderate walk, designed for the first time trekker, which follows some of the classic Everest base camp trek before heading to the quieter Thame valley.
This itinerary now stays at the new Everest Summit Lodge in Pangboche. This lodge is at a similar high standard to the others. There are superb views of Ama Dablam from the lodge and Pangboche is a beautiful Sherpa village with an interesting monastery.
