peace flags. The views are splendid! The panoramic view from Annapurna to Kanchenjunga is rewarded if the weather is clear.

This trail meets the route from Jiri to the Everest Base Camp trek. Guest houses here are a little more modern, and for the first time you might be able to meet a few other visitors.

It’s a couple of hours from Taktor on a lovely Junbesi trail. Junbesi, the cradle of culture and architecture of Sherpa, is the traditional village of Sherpa, at an altitude of 2,675 m.
