• The Sherpas of Junbesi
• Thubtenchoeling Gumba, abode of Venerable Thulsik Rinpoche
• Milky glacial lakes and Numbur Himal range

In one's haste to get to Everest Base Camp, many trekkers have overlooked the wonderful destinations that exist in the shadow of Everest. Dudhkunda - translated to " Milk Lake " - is a lake formed by the glaciers of Numbur and surrounding Himals. Dudhkunda is a religious lake revered by both Sherpas and Rais of the Solu region - throngs of pilgrims arrive here during the monsoons, but it will be quiet and peaceful in late-October. Revel in this exciting new landscape and enjoy the spectacular views of the Himalaya as always. And en route to Dudhkunda, discover the delightful treasures of Sherpa people and their culture in the Junbesi area.
