Explore the less frequented trails

Visited by only a handful of trekkers each year, this moderately challenging trek will reach the sacred waters of Dudh Kunda set beneath the mighty Numbur Himal. En route we gain views of the Himalayan chain, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and more from our secluded camp at Tenkharka. We visit schools and a number of Buddhist monasteries and gompas built to accommodate the Sherpa and Tamang religious communities in the region.

An important dimension to the trek is an opportunity to sample local life through Brigitte Muir’s family and friends. Brigitte Muir is the first Australian woman to summit Everest and the first Australian to climb the highest peak on each continent. Brigitte is a devoted supporter of AHF’s flagship TTQIE (Teacher Training, Quality Inclusive Education) program in the Lower Solu Khumbu region of Nepal. Brigitte has been frequenting the area since 2007 and has made many connections with local people. You will also get a chance to appreciate the educational advances in the schools and communities.
