Description
This is a trail steeped in history of the Golden
Age of Himalayan Exploration. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing
Norgay Sherpa took this path with the other members of the
successful team that climbed Mt Everest in 1953.
The
route follows paths that meander through the villages and rice
fields of the lower Everest region and wind their way into the
Dudh Kosi Valley, criss-crossing the river below. The scenery
is inspirational, and as the paths move up onto higher ground,
the culture and ways of the local people become that of the
Tamang people, before the scenery, culture and dress changes
again to be that of the distinctive Sherpa whose name is
synonymous with High Altitude trekking and mountaineering.
Here is a chance to live and to experience some of the
glorious years of our mountain heroes, and to visit some of
the Himalayan Trust Schools pioneered by Edmund Hillary for
the benefit of the Sherpa people he loves so much.
