Wouldn’t it be nice to visit a place where talking ill of someone behind his back is sin; where felling trees is sin, to pluck flowers is sin and all quarrelling is sin. Welcome to the Solu-Khumbu region, homeland to the Sherpa community.
The original expedition route between Jiri and Namche Bazaar has been all but ignored since the construction of the Lukla airport, sponsored by Sir Edmund Hillary in order to deliver supplies to the schools he founded. Camp adjacent to quaint villages with their own monasteries, the roots of Sherpa Buddhism lay in the steep slopes of Solu. This trek is ideal for good acclimatization as you cross passes equal to the elevation of Namche Bazaar. Discover the fertile valleys and the hospitality of the Sherpa people without the vast crowds found beyond Lukla on this classic Everest trail.
