Be prepared for a marvelous day ahead filled with stunning views of the Mahalangur Mountain Range. Start early with a trip to Syangboche which basically contains a semi-abandoned airstrip, constructed in 1971. The airstrip was basically established to serve Hotel Everest View, the then-highest hotel in the world. From here, we make our way up to Hotel Everest View to get panoramic views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Thamserku, Kusum Kanguru, Tawache, Khumbila, and the most beautiful mountain in the region, Amadablam.
