Panaromic view of most gigantic mountains from Kalapathar with beautiful sunrise through Mt Everest. The treks will reward the trekker with marvellous Himalayan vistas. Gentle trek through the Dudhkoshi river valley following beautiful terraces and rhorondrodon forests.
Although this is a short trek, by Nepal standards, there will be plenty of time to enjoy the culture of the Sherpas, visit ancient monasteries and learn how Lamaistic Buddhism influences Sherpa life. Stop at any of the numerous teahouses sip a glass of sweetened tea or Chang (millet beer) and get a taste of hospitality unique to the Sherpas.
Beautiful, multi-hued prayer flags prayer wheels and intricately carved Mani stones line every hilltop, rock wall and trailside singing prayers to the gods with every breeze and every passing traveler.

When the mask was removed, he would almost certainly guess where he was, for there was only one place on Earth this could be: the Himalaya. The world’s greatest mountain range. Nepal, where the modern adventure travel industry was born, and where its focus has newly returned.

So taking to study tours in such interesting places will make them aware about their surrounding and what their country has to offer. By taking to such types of tours, would help them learn different cultures and help them to respect each others culture. By learning lot about the country’s history, geography, archaeology will make them realize that they have such a beautiful country and will always encourage them to love preserve what they have. In a way this kind of tour encourages internal tourism. Internal tourism in today’s context can not be neglected because it can be a real contributory to our slow and stagnant economy.
