However, the strain and degree of difficulty are constantly
rewarded with visits to remote villages, the magnificence of
the omni-present mountains and walks through thick
Rhododendron forests. On the approach to the Tashi Labtsa
pass (5755 m), the northern skyline is constantly dominated
by the summit of Mt. Gauri Shankar (7146 m.), for a long
time confused with Everest and thought to be the highest
mountain in the world. This trek takes you through a
demographic cross section of Nepal that can not be sampled
on any other trek. Since the reopening of this route the
small Sherpa villages of Beding and Na are accessible to
trekkers who would like to see what traditional Sherpa
culture, untouched by western influence, really looks like.
