Traversing the starkly beautiful dunes of the desert wilderness, we delighted at the
sight of herds of chin Kara antelope and treasured a glimpse of the Great Indian
bustard. Near the end, Jaisalmer reappeared like a vision from the Arabian Nights,
its intriguingly carved yellow stone towers rising mirage-like out of the horizon.

Following the classic Everest expedition route, this trek leads hikers past the colorful
fluttering prayer flags and Buddhist monasteries of traditional Sherpa villages, to
the foot of Mount Everest. We rendezvous in Katmandu, fly to Lukla, and traverse

the bustling center of the Sherpa region. From there we ascend Kala Pattar, high
above the tree line, for suburb views of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse. Two nights at
the Everest base camp allows us ample time to explore the base of the mountain,
before returning to Lukla via the lost valleys, high mountain passes, and remote
villages of the Khumbu region. Accommodations include a hotel in Katmandu and 17
