Trip Overview

About the Lower Everest Trek

Embark on a captivating journey with our Nepal adventure, starting with your arrival in the vibrant city of Kathmandu. The tour combines cultural exploration with the thrill of trekking through picturesque landscapes. After sightseeing and preparations in Kathmandu, the real adventure begins as you drive to Dhap and trek to Japre. Traverse through stunning trails, reaching Pikey Base Camp for a spectacular sunrise. The trek continues to Loding, Junbesi, Taksindu, and Phaplu, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural encounters, including visits to Thubtenchoeling and Chiwong Monasteries. The journey concludes with a scenic drive back to Kathmandu, where you can unwind or opt for an optional city tour before your departure.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
