Clicking on the orange play button at the bottom will automatically zoom you in on the town of of Lukla. Zooming in and clicking the links will provide both pictorial and video views of landing at Tenzig Hillary Airport, one of the most dangerous airports in the world, to walking the market street in Lukla. Clicking the orange play button at the bottom will also provide narrative.
From there you will pass into Sagarmatha National Park near Jorsale on your way to the Bridge crossing over the Dudh Kosi river making your way to Namche and it's famous Bazaar.
Clicking on the blue icons will provide Aerial pictorial Views of what you'll see at Namche, Gong Ri and at Khumjung, where the Hillary School is located and video views of the Namche Bazaar.
Then you will leave Namche after acclimatizing to the altitude and start your trek past the Ngozumpa Glacier, on your way to Thyangboche and find detailed views of its famous Monastery. You are now at 12,700 ft above sea level.
Now you are on your way to Pangboche, it's terraced landscape and it own Monastery.
At 13,074 feet, this used to be the last bit of civilization you would see before reaching base camp at Everest.
Next you will pass the villages of Pheriche, where Himalayan Rescue Association is located and Dingboche noted for it's many stone walls. You are at 13,980 ft.
You will then approach Lobuche near the 3rd largest and most famous Glacial mass in the world, The Khumbu.
16,100 ft at it's end, where the river starts and 24,900 ft at it's source.
Gorak Shep is your last small settlement before reaching the base camp with it's stunning view of the mountain god Sagarmatha.
At Pumori, You are now higher in elevation than the Alps and Mt. Ranier at 18,192 ft.
You the reach Base Camp at Everest (19,000 ft)To acclimatize and prepare for your journey up the mountainside......
Enjoy Your Virtual Trek!
