Visiting the local villages provides trekkers with a deeper understanding of the region’s culture, religion, and way of life. The trekking experience is enhanced by the opportunity to visit monasteries, learn about Buddhist traditions, and gain insight into the lives of the Sherpa people, who have a deep connection to the mountains.

The trek also offers ample time for acclimatization, which is crucial when trekking at higher altitudes.
