Wildcamps have become the ultimate focus of wildlife conservation in the whole world since the days when natural wilderness and wildlife of the the world came under threat. Indian Horizons welcomes you to experience the most famous trek in Nepal, if not the world. The chance to get up close to the worlds tallest mountain and visit one of the best view points on earth. A trek for the fit and enthusiastic trekker, the rewards are worth every step: Mountain villages, monasteries and shrines, suspension bridges, glaciers and big mountains are all there to be enjoyed. The trek is fully supported, allowing you to enjoy the hospitality of the Sherpa and absorb the wonderful scenery while travelling in the classic trekking manner first employed by the early Everest expeditions - good food, comfortable camps and walks through air so fresh that the great snow-clad peaks hang before you in sparkling clarity.
