At last we reach Pheriche. 4,300m of altitude. Nestled in the heart of the Khumbu region, the tiny village is surrounded by gigantic snow-capped peaks and pristine valleys; it’s a paradise for trekkers, nature enthusiasts and explorers seeking a soulful retreat. I love this place. It never failed to amaze me every time I stop there to acclimatise for a few days. It’s a land of enchantment and spiritual allure with Ama Dablam and Cholatse towering above the dotted land.
