Pour les amoureux de la montagne, il n'y a rien de mieux qu'un trek dans l'Himalaya népalais. Dominant le paysage et la culture du Népal, cette chaîne de montagnes abrite le mont Everest, connu localement sous le nom de Sagarmatha, la déesse mère du monde. Le trek de l'Everest attire les amoureux de la nature et les trekkeurs du monde entier, car il offre des vues époustouflantes, un peuple Sherpa chaleureux, des villages pittoresques, des cultures riches, des festivals colorés et des monastères historiques.
Le trek commence par un vol de Katmandou à Lukla, suivi d'une randonnée de deux heures et demie jusqu'à Phakding, où vous passerez la nuit. Le lendemain, le trekking se poursuit dans la vallée de la Dudh Koshi, en passant par des villages sherpas, jusqu'à Namche Bazar, où une journée est consacrée à l'acclimatation. De Namche, le trek monte au monastère de Tengboche, qui offre une vue panoramique sur les sommets du Khumbu, dont le Kangtega, le Thamserku, l'Ama Dablam et la chaîne de l'Everest. Le voyage revient ensuite à Namche, se poursuit jusqu'à Lukla et se termine par un vol de retour à Katmandou.
