Everest Region - Low Budget Adventure Treks

Khumbu Village Low Budget Adventure Trekking (One way or roundtrip helicopter flights to and from Syangboche)

Welcome to Discover Asia Travel - Low Budget Adventure Trekking (Tea House Trek) web page! Tea House Treks are designed for Low Budget Adventure Travelers (LBAT) and are done by using lodge and resort accommodations along the trails. We have designed these LBAT treks to serve clients with various budgets. These treks are perfect for students or anyone with low budget, but hardy backpackers. Our shorter tea house treks in the Everest Region begin and end in Syangboche and Lukla airports while a long range trek begin in Jiri and end in Lukla.

Now with the development of the Syangboche Panorama Hotel, we organize and lead camping and tea house treks throughout the Everest Region.

The shorter treks (2 to 7 days) are operated from our resort hotel in Syangboche, where a one way or two way helicopter rides are required while the longer LBAT treks (8 to 18 days) are operated from Lukla Airport, and fly in and out by domestic flights.

SYANGBOCHE PANORAMA HOTEL (P) LTD. Is a spectacular resort, 13,025 ft. above sea level. The hotel is merely a ten minute walk from Syangboche Airport. It is our newest quality tourism establishment in the Everest region. This 22 room hotel is built to provide the most out of a Nepal visit! The architecture and the interior decorations reflect a perfect Sherpa theme. Huge glass windows allow guests to enjoy magnificent views of towering peaks. View Mt. Everest, Lhotse Shar, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Kangteiga, Thamserku and Thyangboche Monastery from the dinner table or your bedroom!

Syangboche Panorama Hotel stands atop a hill, above the famous Namche Bazaar, enroute to the Khumjung and Khunde villages. Its location makes you feel as if you are above the clouds, which often is the case! Unique flora and fauna are among the attraction here. One can easily spot Musk deer, Himalayan Tahrs, or Impeyan pheasants (the national bird of Nepal) and other faunas in the vicinity. High altitude junipers, rhododendrons, firs, and alpine plant communities are indigenous to the area.

The monsoon is somewhat wet and cloudy, but this is when the entire region unfolds in full blossom with thousands of species of colorful flowers, such as Edelweiss, Blue Poppy, and Snow Rhododendron are among the seasonal blanket of vivid colors draped across the hills. More than four hundred species of beautiful butterflies come to life, making the colors of Khumbu even more flamboyant. To operate treks during the monsoon is difficult because of the cloudy weather and rain, but perfect time for butterfly and flower lovers.

Can one see Yeti (the Abominable snowman) around here? We won't guarantee a live one, but will take you to nearby Khumjung Village monastery to see a partial skeleton!

Most of our short camping and tea house treks to different villages, monasteries and other destinations in the region can be done by staying at our resort hotel. We have all modern amenities and a well trained local staff at your service, serving delicious cuisine including Sherpa-Nepali and international. We provide special summer rates for student and research groups and offer spectacular meeting facilities for conferences, incentives, wedding parties and honeymooners. Inquire for details.
