Highlights

Overview

Everest Dudhkunda Trekking is a relatively new and lesser-known trekking route in Nepal that offers an exciting and adventurous journey through the Solukhumbu region. The trek takes you through traditional settlements, beautiful forests, and stunning mountain ranges, providing an unforgettable experience for both experienced and first-time trekkers.
The trek starts with a scenic flight to Phaplu, a small town in Nepal's Solukhumbu district. From there, the hike follows a path that leads to Dudhkunda Lake, which translates to "milky lake" in Nepali. The  Dudhkunda Lake is located at the base of Mount Numbur, also known as Shorong Yul Lha, which is considered the "Preserver of Solukhumbu Region." The Dudhkunda Lake is of great religious significance to Buddhist and Hindu devotees, who believe that taking a dip in the lake's holy waters will wash away all sins and fulfill wishes.
The trekking trail to Dudhkunda Lake is challenging and involves crossing high-altitude passes, walking through dense forests, and climbing steep ridges. The path is also relatively less traveled than other popular trekking routes in the region, providing trekkers with a more peaceful and natural experience.
The trek offers stunning vistas of the eastern Himalayan Range, including the magnificent Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak in the world. Trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kusum Kanguru.
The trek is an opportunity to explore the traditional Sherpa villages that dot the Solukhumbu region. Trekkers can witness the unique culture, traditions, and lifestyle of the Sherpa people, known for their mountaineering skills and warm hospitality.
The Dudhkunda Trekking trail also passes through rhododendron forests, home to diverse flora and fauna. Trekkers may encounter rare animals such as the elusive snow leopard, Himalayan thar, and musk deer. The trek also offers opportunities for bird watching, with the national bird of Nepal, the Danphe pheasant, being a common sight.
Asiana Treks and Tours, a reputable trekking company, offers a comprehensive 9-day package for the Dudhkunda Trekking. The package includes transportation, accommodation, meals, and a licensed guide, ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable trekking experience.
In conclusion, the Everest Dudhkunda Trekking is a challenging yet rewarding adventure that provides trekkers with breathtaking views of the Himalayan Range, a glimpse into the traditional Sherpa culture, and a chance to explore the natural beauty of the Solukhumbu region.
