Sherpa Culture Trek: 13 Days
The Sherpa people are one of the most famous ethnic groups in Nepal. These people should not be confused with the people working on climbing and trekking expeditions, although many do come from the Sherpa ethnic group many other mountain people are represented in this profession as wells.
During this cultural trek you will be able to see first-hand now these people live, their customs, their Buddhist way of life and their architecture. Above all you will be able to experience their warm hospitality and friendliness. With visits to monasteries, witnessing cultural festivals and listening to their music and joining in with their local dances you will leave Nepal with a warm and ever lasting impression of one of the most famous mountain people in the world and the greeting ‘ Namaste!’ ringing in your ears forever.
