| Mountains and Monasteries Trek, Grade: Moderate
This
trek takes you around the Everest region, which has recently witnessed the
renaissance of Tibetan Buddhism with the renovation of Thyangboche Monastery at
(3870 m), one of the world's highest Buddhist Monasteries.
Lamaistic Buddhism plays an integral part and is influential in the lives
of these Sherpa people. En route
Buddhist Nyingmapa monasteries and monks, the ever-present yaks, high pastures
and mountains that are unforgettable in their gem-like presence, will fascinate
you. Reincarnated Lamas, the Yeti's scalp, saffron robed monks and legendary
mountains of Khumbu - Everest (8848 m), Kwangde (6187 m) Ama Dablam (6812 m), Lhotse (8501 m) and Nuptse (7879 m) offer a
stupendous backdrop for the experience of a lifetime.
