NEPAL yeti Mountain Home Incredible views of the world's highest mountains, prayer flags fluttering under crystal clear skies, cosy teahouses and rosy faced Sherpa children, yaks, porters and expeditions—these are the images conjured by Nepal's Khumbu region, home to some of the world's most iconic trekking. The best time of year to enjoy the magnificent scenery is spring and autumn when weather conditions are generally dry, warm, and make for incredible trekking. As trails climb up out of the lush green valleys to the high, mountain meadows, weary trekkers can now be assured of indulgent comfort, high quality cuisine and a very warm Sherpa welcome in the beautiful Yeti Mountain Home lodges. A stay in a Yeti Mountain Home lodge offers a special and soul-lifting experience. Tel: +977 1 4000711 There are six YMH lodges spread out along spectacular trails taking you from the gateway village of Lukla, down through the forest, past bustling hamlets up to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar into the breathtaking scenery of the world's highest and, arguably, most magnificent mountains. The lodges have been carefully located to give you both a taste of the main Everest trekking route and the peace of walking 'off the beaten trail' on a wonderful circuit encompassing the ancient monastery of Thame and a unique, unparalleled view of the entire Everest range from the mountain top lodge at Kongde. Lodges are built in a traditional style with luxuriant Sherpa décor but with all the modern conveniences of boutique hotels. Private rooms are all equipped with en suite bathrooms, quality linen and heated blankets. Enjoy a well-earned drink around the fire at the cosy lounges and delicious meals in sumptuous dining rooms. Be assured of authentic warm hospitality with a team of friendly, professional staff. Yeti Mountain Homes are owned and run by local Sherpa people, who take their role as 'guardians of the Himalaya' very seriously, hence your comfort is provided responsibly: hydro and solar provide the power; organic fresh food—locally sourced or grown in the Yeti greenhouses; recycling schemes; employing local staff and supporting the schools and health clinics through on-going donations. Experience fantastic trekking in fine style with professional local guides. And for those who want that really special, extra something, a helicopter sightseeing excursion or simply a lift up the mountain are also offered.
