Nepal (Khumbu / Everest Region)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Khumbu, or Everest Region, is a high-altitude area in northeastern Nepal, home to the world's tallest peak, Mount Everest (8,849 m), and a string of other Himalayan giants including Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. It is one of the most iconic trekking destinations on earth, drawing thousands of hikers each year to routes such as the Everest Base Camp trek and the challenging Three Passes circuit. The region is also the homeland of the Sherpa people, whose culture, Buddhist monasteries, and teahouse hospitality shape the experience along every trail. Beyond trekking, serious mountaineers come to attempt Everest and neighbouring peaks, while acclimatisation stops in villages like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche offer a vivid window into high-Himalayan life.

Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of the classic 12-day Ama Dablam Base Camp trek in the Khumbu. You book your own Kathmandu guesthouse, buy your own Lukla flights or share a jeep to Salleri/Surke, pay teahouse rates night by night, and hire a licensed local guide or porter directly in Namche or Kathmandu if you want support. The route follows the same villages — Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Mingbo, Pangboche — with an acclimatisation day in Namche and the side trip up to Ama Dablam Base Camp (approx. 4,600m). Costs are backpacker/teahouse estimates in GBP and assume you trek independently with a hired guide shared between two people. All figures are approximate and vary by season, altitude and how hard you bargain.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Nepal (Khumbu / Everest Region) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
