Step off the beaten path. Follow the footsteps of legends. Discover the heart of the Himalayas.

Welcome to your gateway to one of Nepal’s most extraordinary trekking experiences — a journey that combines breathtaking natural beauty, vibrant cultural heritage, and historic trails that have remained hidden for over seven decades.

The Umakunda–Dudhkund–Tate Tenzing Hillary Trail takes you deep into the Upper Ramechhap and Everest regions, following the same routes once walked by the pioneering mountaineers Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. Along the way, you’ll witness the majestic snow-capped peaks of Everest, Numbur Himal, and the surrounding Mahalangur Range — rising above glacial valleys, alpine meadows, and rhododendron forests that transform with every turn of the trail.

What Awaits You?

Breathtaking Landscapes

Journey through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to rare wildlife such as snow leopards, red pandas, and colorful Himalayan birds. Cross serene alpine pastures, visit sacred lakes like Dudhkund, and experience the grandeur of the high Himalayas in their purest form.

Cultural Immersion

Connect with the warm-hearted Sherpa people, guardians of ancient Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Visit centuries-old monasteries, walk through mountain passes lined with fluttering prayer flags, and celebrate local festivals. Experience the diverse traditions of the Rai, Tamang, and Gurung communities — each adding their unique essence to the region’s rich cultural mosaic.

Adventure and Spirituality

Whether you seek a physical challenge, a peaceful retreat, or a blend of both, this trail offers an unforgettable experience that honors both nature and spirit. Follow ancient salt-trade routes, explore pristine valleys like the Likhu River Basin, and extend your trek to nearby routes such as Pikey, Junbesi, or Taptping for a deeper Himalayan experience.
