Why take this tour?

Kyajo Ri (6186m) is a semi technical peak situated in the Everest region of Nepal. Since it has not been long since Kyajo Ri was open for climbing, adventure enthusiasts who are looking to summit the mountain can do so without having to deal with a lot of crowd. More importantly, you can enjoy your journey to the summit and back in its full glory. Trekking through the Everest region offers astounding mountain views and an opportunity to get a glimpse of the lifestyle of the world famous climbers (the Sherpas). Our 16-day journey begins with a spectacular and an enthralling mountain flight to Tenzing Hillary airport at Lukla. The trip continues by trekking in the amazing hilly and mountainous regions of Nepal. Next, we achieve our ultimate objective of summiting Kyajo Ri before heading back to Kathmandu to end an excellent trip to the Himalayas.
