Destinations Nepal Activities Off the beaten track adventure holidays Pike Peak and Dudh Kunda Trek
Moderate to Strenuous: A reasonably demanding trek at an altitude up to 4000m with side trips to higher elevations. The trails are sometimes uncharted and away from inhabited areas.
This trek lies in Solu region. We follow the same route of Classic Everest Base Camp trek via Jiri.

Everest (8848m) including other snowing peaks of Makalu (8475m, Kanchenjunga (8598m) and many more neighboring peaks which will thrill your mind.
