The challenging trails and uncertain condition followed by its peaceful nature and traditional villages garners the attention of travelers from all over the world. The Lhotse Expedition captures all of its essences on one travel, making it an adventure you will never forget. The summit is itself the highlight of the expedition. Steep and slippery pathways are perfect for the adrenaline rush, which takes you to the stunning height of 8516m. The beautiful Khumbu Icefall graces your path, making the trip even more exciting.

Throughout the trip, you will be able to feel the presence of the rich culture with many prayer flags that grace your path.
