Our friends at Peregrine Adventures are celebrating big time! It's 35 years since they started up as an independent adventure tour company, and to mark the occasion, they are offering the chance to win one of 35 wonderful holidays. Every weekday for the next month, one of Peregrine's fascinating trips will be up for grabs, offering you the opportunity to win a holiday in some of the most exciting far-flung corners of the world.
Here's today's trip! Everest Adventure (12 days)
This lodge-based trek offers sensational mountain panoramas and an insight into the lives of the Sherpa people. Fly to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the soaring peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It's a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar, capital of the Khumbu Sherpas, but well worth it for the spectacular mountain panorama. A free day provides time to explore the local market or enjoy an optional walk towards Thami. Then follow the trail to the Sherpa village Khumjung, to see the famous Yeti scalp... and draw your own conclusions as to its authenticity. After that, it's back to Phakding, before descending to Lukla and the spectacular return flight to Kathmandu.
