Trek through the heart of the Khumbu region, experience Sherpa culture, visit the iconic Tengboche Monastery, and enjoy spectacular views of Mount Everest and other Himalayan giants—all while celebrating Christmas and New Year in the majestic Himalayas. Starting with a cultural exploration of Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage sites, you’ll fly to Lukla to begin your trek through charming villages and picturesque landscapes. The itinerary includes acclimatization days to ensure you adjust to the altitude and fully enjoy the experience. You’ll pass through Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa town, and Khumjung, where the legacy of Sir Edmund Hillary lives on. Your journey takes you to Tengboche, home to a stunning Buddhist monastery that offers panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, including Everest, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse. The trip is designed to make the holidays unforgettable, with unique celebrations on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas. This trek is perfect for those seeking a moderate trekking adventure, cultural immersion, and a holiday season like no other.

I am an experienced trekking guide, currently living between Utrecht and Düsseldorf, with a passion for traveling and discovering the best places the world has to offer. Fluent in German, English, Hindi, and Nepali, I have been guiding treks across Nepal for many years, from the Everest Base Camp to the Annapurna Circuit, sharing my love for the Himalayas with adventurers from around the globe. My goal is to create unforgettable experiences for my clients, guiding them through some of the most breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems that I have discovered over time. With my extensive knowledge of Nepal and a deep appreciation for its culture and natural beauty, I’m dedicated to making every journey special.
