This trek heads from Lukla to the Sherpa towns up north. We spend some time in the mountain village of Namche Bazaar which was a famous trading center between Tibet and Nepal. From Namche we head up to the holy village of Tengboche. This has long been the religious centre for all inhabitants of the Solu Khumbu area. There are numerous shrines and a beautiful monastery that sits at 3870 meters. We will take our time on the trail back down to Lukla which offers many options for extra side trips.

This trek to the World's oldest monastery is ideal if you only have a short Holiday. It offers tantalising view's of the world's Highest mountain Mt. Everest as well of some other major Peaks. The Monastery is surrounded by the tallest of mountains and lots of different flora and fauna which in the jungle has preserved. Yaks graze on the small meadows and the monks drone through their prayers. Surely, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
