Always wanted to see Mount Everest without trekking or climbing? This tour, through Lhasa and Kathmandu, is one of the easiest ways to reach the base camp of Mount Everest without walking for multiple days.
The tour starts off in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and the capital of Nepal’s culture, religion and architecture. The vibrant history of this mystical and ancient place has left its mark in the distinctive architecture that ornaments the city. The Himalayan giants are visible from the city itself and combine with the ancient architecture for spectacular views. We'll take you to the edge of the Kathmandu valley to the famous tourist destination of Nagarkot Village, where you will get an even more spectacular view of the Himalayan range.
Your journey continues to Tibet – a secluded piece of land rich in spectacular landscapes, mystical monasteries and vibrant culture. See the beautiful Tibetan cities and towns of Lhasa, Gyantse, Shigatse and Rongbuk, where we'll visit popular landmarks like the Dalai Lama’s Potala and Norbulingka Palaces, the Tibet Museum, Barkhor Bazaar and Gyantse Dzong, as well as impressive Tibetan monasteries like Sera, Drepung, and Jokhang Temple.
We also cross several passes and visit the beautiful YamdrokTso Lake on our trip. Afterwards, drive across the Tibetan highlands and high passes to the fabled Rongphu Monastery and Mt. Everest Base Camp from where the view of the great North face of Mount Everest is the most spectacular of all.
Pikey Peak is situated in the lower reaches of Solukhumbu district, at an altitude of 4,070 meters. Although not as popular as Everest Base Camp, this peak is a great option for those that want to enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayas without having to face the challenges of traversing high-altitude areas.
On this guided tour, you will leave Kathmandu for Bamti Bhandar. From there, you will follow the trail to Pikey Base Camp that takes you through Namkheli and Golla. Along the way, get a chance to experience the cultures and traditions of different ethnic groups like Sherpa, Chhetri, Tamang and Gurung. Take in the grand view of mountain peaks like Dhaulagiri, Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and Nuptse on reaching the top of Pikey Peak at sunrise before heading down the same track. The trip comes to an end in Kathmandu.
