Kongde:

This trek allows you to explore the Everest region of Nepal on a relatively short trip in comfort and style while gaining views of all the principle peaks of the Khumbu including four peaks over 8000 m, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.  We will fly to Lukla then start our trek to Namche.  From Namche we head west to the Sherpa village of Thame.  Our trek continues climbing up the Kongde ridge across the valley from Thame and Namche where we will stay at the beautifully situated Kongde Hotel at 4200 m high above the Khumbu valley with a stunning panoramic view including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam among others.  We will spend 2 days at Kongde exploring the magnificent scenery including day hikes up to Kongde Lake, and Kongde Ri where the panoramic view only improves as the 8000 m peaks of Makalu and Cho Oyu also come into view.
