The Everest region has more to
offer then views of the world's highest mountains;it is the homeland of the
Sherpa people.On this trek our experienced guide (Sherpa) takes us away from the
most trekked trails, introducing us both to his own village and the fabulous
Mani Rimdu (Masked Dance) festival, as well as some of Khumbu's remote and
fascinating monasteries.
We take several little-known trails affording
views of Everest, Lhotse, Kangtaiga, Ama Dablam and the other great peaks of the
Khumbu area.
We join festive crowds of Tibetans and Sherpas
at Chiwong Gompa for the annual Mani Rimdu Festival. This is the region's main
festival yet few Westerners reach this remote corner of the mountains. In the
presence of the High Lama, the monks don elaborate brocade costumes and perform
the ancient temple dances that have changed little for hundreds of years.
This is the perfect way to see the Everest
range away from the crowds and gain a first-hand view of the tradition,
religion, and culture of the Sherpas
