It is a 19-day festival celebrated by Buddhists in the Everest region of Nepal to mark the founding of Buddhism by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). It is celebrated as per the Tibetan lunar calendar, which falls between October and November in the English calendar. While you are trekking in the given months, do not miss this amazing festival.

Lukla is the gateway of the Everest region. Explore it and enjoy the panoramic vistas of surrounding areas and the mountains. Discover Namche Bazar, the trading center of the Everest region and the town of the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality.

At last, the trek usually goes through the pine forests, rhododendron forests, and alpine meadows, crossing the Dhudkoshi River, Bhotekoshi River, Imja River, and several waterfall valleys up, down, and straight toward the Everest base camp trek and Lobuche Peak climbing.
