Tsum Valley Trek
The Trek
For most Nepal visitors, the classic trek to Everest Base Camp fulfills the dream of a lifetime. Although challenging in terms of elevation gain, there is no technical climbing involved. For anyone who has the inner zeal to see the mother goddess, Chomolungma (Everest), from as close as you can get without climbing Everest itself, this is the trek! Everest Base Camp is only of countless rewarding sites along the way.
