From there you will begin your hiking walking anywhere from 3 – 8 hours per day, taking it at your own pace and stopping for tea and snacks at the local lodges. Each day is filled with iconic views of the Himalayan hills and mountains as well as the historical Buddhist monasteries and stupas.

Beyond the Basecamp you will hike up to Larkya la pass at 5160m, one of the longest passes in Nepal but finishing on a view that will send shivers down your spine.
