Explore the real heart of rural Nepal on this exclusive trip that comes at the invitation of the dZi community village partners. Their region, in the foothills of Everest, is steep, rocky, and difficult to get to but so worth the effort to get to know a side of Nepal that few Westerners ever experience.
After exploring the ancient alleyways and sacred sites of Kathmandu, you set off in jeeps along rugged ‘roads’ to be greeted by an entirely different world – one where tight-knit communities continue to survive through intimate connections to one another and their surroundings. Be amazed by the warm Nepali welcome into their farms, homes and hearths.
Traveling on foot, you will cross high passes with neck-straining views of the Himalayas and descend through forests with flowering rhododendron trees. In the early part of the trail trekkers will sleep in tents and share meals together prepared from fresh local ingredients by expert cooking staff. As you head out of the dZi region into more well-known trails and villages accommodation will switch to local tea houses, hiking big ups and downs through the ethereal Pangom village with its eagles’ perch gompa (monastery), over grassy ridges and wooded spurs onto Lukla, the bustling gateway to the renowned Everest, Khumbu, region made famous by the Everest Base Camp trail. From here it’s a spectacular mountain flight back to Kathmandu.
