One glimpse of Nepal's exalted mountains, one encounter with its gracious people and vibrant culture, and you'll definitely fall under its bewitching spell. On this classic first-timer's trek through the legendary Khumbu (Everest region), your senses come fully alive, and all the views are magical: a stunning panorama of Himalayan monarchs - a veritable outdoor cathedral of soaring peaks (including a "peek" at Everest - especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset!).

But there's more to Nepal than mountain grandeur. Lively villages and ancient monasteries are captivating and invite exploration, but it's the friendly Sherpa people, whose hearts are as big as the mountains themselves, that you'll remember for a lifetime.
