During our entire trek we encounter through beautifully settled Sherpa villages and experience world famous Sherpa culture and their hospitality. We too can add other few hiking options for other additional side trips like high altitude walk which includes the crossing over Cho la pass (5,416m) which is the highest pass in the Khumbu region. to cross Cho la pass you have to be mentally prepared because it needs 6 hours of vigorous walk and the good physical fitness for adapting in this high altitude.
