KANGSHUNG FACE MT. EVEREST TREK

Trek to the secluded Kangshung and Kharta valleys in Tibet and get up close to the East and North faces of Mount Everest. Before reaching the trailhead, enjoy a scenic drive across the picturesque central Tibet. highway.Kangshung Face Mount Everest Trek takes you to one of the most beautiful but least visited areas in Tibet, the Khansung Valley, which is close to the eastern side of Chomolungma or Mount Everest(8848m). This memorable journey takes you across the rugged and beautiful Tibetan countryside dotted with nomadic settlements, traditional villages, and ancient Buddhist monasteries. With the Himalayan range in the background, you cross mountain passes, glaciers, and emerald lakes.

Your journey begins with a flight to Lhasa where you spend a couple of days acclimatizing and sightseeing. Visit the awe-inspiring Potala Palace, the bustling Barkhor Market, and the ancient Jokhang Temple. At Drepung and Sera Monasteries, interact with the monks and witness their lively debates.

Drive past the stunning Yamdrok Tso Lake on the beautiful Friendship Highway and stop at the cities of Gyantse and Shigatse. Our local Tibetan guide will take you to explore the ancient Gyantse Kumbum, Pelkor Chode Monastery, and the Tashilhunpo Monastery. You drive to the Kharta Valley and from there take a challenging trail and hike past spectacular Himalayan vistas, along steep-sided valleys and glacial lakes. . As the trail lies in an isolated route you will be staying overnight in camps. Our local crew will set up the camp and serve you nutritious meals. The heavy provisions will be carried by yaks. Going on this trek in summer will let you witness heavenly scenes of wildflowers carpeting whole meadows in the Kangshung Valley (popularly known as the 'Valley of Flowers'). You walk up to the rim of Kangshung Glacier and reach the spectacular Kangshung Base Camp. British mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine had walked on this very trail during their historic but tragic ascent to Mount Everest in 1924.

From Kangshung Glacier and Kangshung BC, close-up views of Makalu, Lhotse, Mount Everest, and other Tibetan peaks appear mesmerizing. At Langma La Pass (5,330 meters), you reach the highest point of your trek. From here too you can observe the magnificent Himalayan panorama of Makalu, Lhotse, Lhotse Shar, and Mount Everest.

10/10 EBC trek/Kala Patthar summit
I had the most amazing experience on my EBC trek/Kala Patthar summit with Expedition Himalaya. From the time I was retrieved at the airport to the time I was brought back at the end of my stay in Nepal, I felt safe, welcomed, and cared for. My accommodations prior to and after the trek were extremely comfortable, and the trek itself was the most magical adventure. My guide (Karma) has ten Everest summits under his belt, so I felt extremely privileged to have someone with his level of expertise guiding my trek. Anytime the weather or another challenge threatened to impede our ability to stay on schedule, Navin and his team on the ground found a way for us to circumnavigate the obstacle and persist. Due to their vigilance, our trek went off without a hitch and we never had to worry about any of the logistics- instead, we were able to focus on the unbelievable scenery and otherworldly environment surrounding us. It has been a week since my return home, and I am still pinching myself to see if this experience actually happened- it was genuinely that perfect. I could not recommend this expedition company more highly, and will plan to use them again in the event of my return to Nepal.

Fantastic service from start to finish
Outstanding local company with outstanding guides, superb service and a can-do positive attitude. Our group of ten trekked to Everest Base Camp and Expedition Himalaya arranged all the details—guides, porters, lodging, route, food, transportation, climbing (for some of the group) etc., and when the initial plan fell apart due to weather, quick changes were made to keep us on track and communicated to us efficiently. Although they had many groups in the mountains, the personal service made us feel like we were the only one. From airport pick up to drop off it was first class service! I’m going back for more treks and I’ll definitely use Expedition Himalaya.

Amazing trek and climb in Nepal!
Another fun and successful climbing/trekking trip with Expedition Himalaya! This time Everest Base Camp and Island Peak. Sonam Sherpa is such a great guide! Loved the Yak and Yeti accommodation in Kathmandu. Nabin and the office staff took such good care of us when bad weather prevented our scheduled flight to Lukla, they got us on a helicopter and we didn’t miss out. Other tour groups had to change or cancel their trips due to several days of bad weather impacting flights. Highly recommend Expedition Himalaya for trekking and cloning in Nepal!!

Our EBC adventure
What an amazing adventure we had with Expedition Himalaya. We were so well cared for from the day we arrived till the day of our departure. Our EBC trek was absolutely fantastic, beyond our expectations, and our guide Ram was amazing.. always leading the way and keeping us safe. Our accommodation along the way was lovely, staying in cosy guest houses, with a view of the mountains and always a delicious meal provided. We had another week in Nepal after our trek and Expedition Himalaya organised all our accommodation and transfers which made for a stress free holiday. Thank you to everyone involved in this company, would definitely recommend.

Life-Changing!
Dash Adventures and Expedition Himalaya provided one of the most spectacular experiences of my entire life. The Everest Base Camp trek was full of wonder, hard work, strangers that became close friends, pancakes, yaks, bridges, monasteries, French fries, stairs, tea. And oh the views, the views! Being in the midst of the highest mountains on the planet is like nothing else on earth. Our group was in exceptionally caring and attentive hands with Dash Adventures and Expedition Himalaya. Thank you.
