An Excellent Mount Everest Holiday with an easy stroll on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley, where we gain a first distant view of Mount Everest. A short flight then takes us up into the Khumbu, a region of high peaks and valleys in the shadow of the world's greatest peak. Here, our relaxed week of trekking allows us to experience the unrivalled mountain scenery of the Khumbu, including the classic view of Mount Everest and Ama Dablam from Thyangboche Monastery. Visiting a succession of Sherpa villages, surrounded by fluttering prayer flags and glistening snow-capped peaks, the popular myth of "Shangri La" will seem all-too-real. On our return to Kathmandu, the early morning Everest Flight will provide a suitably dramatic finale.
