The Mount Everest National Park has been a popular destination for trekkers and climbers alike, since the very first expeditions to the Nepalese side of Everest in the 1950’s. This classic trek follows the Everest Trail to Everest Basecamp, amongst the wonderful mountain scenery of the Khumbu. The high point of our trek is at Everest Basecamp, close up beneath the spectacular Khumbu Icefall which leads up to the South Col and was the route taken on the first ascent of Everest. En route, we visit many delightful Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar and the stunningly located Thyangboche, with its famous monastery and impressive backdrop of Everest and Ama Dablam.
Educational perspective
The high valleys on the south side of Everest are home to a race of people known as the Sherpas, who originally came from Tibet. Entrepreneurial and hard working, the Sherpa economy is founded on the work that they do with trekking and climbing groups.
Amend or Extend
A visit to Chitwan National Park, home to elephant, rhino and the elusive tiger, make a contrasting addition to any schools trip to the mountains of Nepal.
