We provide you information on the Family treks, Cost details, itinerary of the trip and Map of the trip. Our experience trekking guide explains the historical culture of Sherpa and Mountains all the time.
Go on a journey in Kathmandu. Visit the oldest temples and palaces, see the monkeys play at Swayambunath and see the amazing Boudhanath Stupa. Although, the family trek does not go to the Everest Base Camp but can be made longer to visit Base Camp or even the Gokyo Lakes! Trekking in the Everest region of Nepal and seeing how the Sherpa people live and thrive is really something different. During the family trek, we make sure to visit the Sherpa museum and learn how these people tamed some of the biggest mountains in the world. A little bit further then Namche Bazaar lies the Khumjung Monastery. The mysterious Yeti Skull lies there at the old monastery. Making this family trek even more exciting!
During Everest Family trekking our Expert guides make sure to look after the entire group in terms of pace and insight of the local. The Sherpa people are well known for their hospitality. Making easy accessible and safe trekking trails without any government support, these people are the real heroes of Everest!
A nice family trek around Everest
The amazing family vacation starts with seeing some of the UNESCO sites in Kathmandu. Enjoying the culture and architecture of Kathmandu’s Royal Durbar square, visiting the ancient Hindu temple of Pashupatinath and taking your photo with the holy men that reside there, seeing the mighty Buddhist Stupa of Boudhanath and walking up to Swayambunath seeing monkeys jumping from tree to tree makes for a great first day in Nepal!
The actual family trek starts with a scenic flight to Lukla, the closest airport to Everest. From here we trek downwards to Phakding village. The Dudh Kosi River is one of the main sources of life here. The trek leads more upwards and once we reach Namche Bazaar, the biggest Sherpa villages and the gateway to Everest, we already get to see some amazing Nepalese Himalayan views including Mt. Everest. Namche has a lot to offer, we can go visit the Sherpa Museum and explore around town before hiking up to the Khumjung ridge. This ridge is one of the best viewpoints to see the Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and Nuptse.
In the late afternoon, we reach Khumjung village laying more below. The place is absolutely amazing! Famous for its ancient monastery, the mythical Yeti skull lies dormant here, awaiting your visit! A famous statue of the first summiteers of Everest is also built here and makes for a great photo spot. A local school is also available in Khumjung village and can be visited; The School builds by First Everest summiteers a great way to see the difference….
Once we leave Namche and Khumjung behind we head back the same way but stop at Monjo the exit of the Everest National Park. The next day it’s back to Lukla and then back to Kathmandu. An ideal 5 days of trekking! Take part in the Everest Family Trekking and maybe you get to see the Yeti?!
EXTRA: During the trek, there is no mention of any lunch hours as every participant has their own pace. For lunchtime in discussion with your guide, a nice place will be organized. For an extension of your holiday to visit places as Chitwan National Park, or Lumbini the birthplace of Buddha, please inquire during your booking.
