Yak herd in Sagarmatha National Park

Highlight • Natural

The yak herd is getting ready to go. You will often find these shaggy animals on your way. They can be heard from afar thanks to the bells around their necks, so you can get to safety on narrow stages.

View of Dingboche

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sunsets in the Himalayas are a magical play of colors. Simply indescribable. In Dingboche you can enjoy very nice impressions, because the clouds reliably pull in from the part at the afternoon time. Even the Buddhist prayer stones turn a mere sunset into an extraordinary visual motif.

View of Mount Everest and surrounding peaks

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even if the sun does not shine, the surrounding peaks have something mysterious about them. Again and again, it pays to look around and let the impressions affect you. Imposing, snow-capped mountain peaks, views of the valley, Buddhist buildings - unique.
