Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world and is surrounded by several other magnificent mountain peaks, Nuptse Shar and Lhotse its near neighbours and then Ama Dablam, Thamserku Cholatse and Tawoche bordering the Khumbu Valley. The Khumbhu Valley is not only the land of soaring peaks, but also a holy place for Buddhists and Hindus. Buddhists people revere Khumbu Valley as the Beyul, the sacred land of hidden treasures whereas Hindu people worship it as the holy land of Kaushiki.
The Karnali Excursions trek to Everest Basecamp offers ample opportunities to visit many highly revered ancient monasteries and sacred valleys in the region. However, the prime goal of this trek is not only to stand in front of the Mount Everest and appreciate its majestic beauty, but also to be immersed in a spiritual journey from both the Buddhist and Hindu perspective. Local Sherpa people call this gigantic mountain “Quomolonga” Mother Goddess of the Universe, while the Nepalese people worship this towering mountain as “Kaushiki”, the Goddess of Mother Earth. Our experienced Himalayan story teller guides, who will be leading this trek will share their stories of the vibrant Buddhist and Hindu traditions and will make your trek a fascinating and educationally interesting experience that you will never forget.
