Beginning in Lukla and traveling through the villages of Namche, Taksindu, and Salleri, trekkers will stay in tea houses and home stays throughout both the popular and less traveled areas of the Everest Region. Participants will visit several of Edge of Seven's completed projects, including a girl's hostel, and two schools.
