Kanchenjunga (8,586) is the third highest mountain in the world. It is an enormous mountain-mass and many satellite peaks rise from its narrow icy ridges. It is located on the border of Nepal and Sikkim, just 46 miles northwest of Darjeeling. It is the most easterly of the great 8,000-meter peaks of the Himalaya.

Lhotse (8,501) is the fourth highest mountain in the world. Its long east-west crest is located immediately south of Mount Everest and the summits of the two mountains are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000 meters. Lhotse is sometimes mistakenly identified as the south peak of the Everest massif. No serious attention was turned to climbing Lhotse until after Everest had finally been ascended. Lhotse was first climbed in 1956 by two Swiss, fritz Luchsinger and Ernest Reiss.
Makalu (8,475) is the fifth highest mountain in the world. It is an isolated peak, located just 14 miles east of Mount Everest. Its size alone is impressive, but its structure, that of a perfect pyramid with four sharp ridges, make this mountain all the more spectacular.
It has proved to be a challenging climb, as only five of its first sixteen attempts were successful. Previously, it had been admired and studied by several Everest parties, but like so many other giants in Khumbu region, it was not attempted until the summit of Everest had been attained in 1954.
Cho Oyu (8,201) is the sixth highest mountain in the world, located a short distance to the west from Everest and Lhotse (the fourth highest) in the Khumbu region of Eastern Nepal along the Tibetan border. Its towering peak stands with Everest well above the surrounding mountains. It became a familiar landmark to climbers ascending Everest's north face. Just west of Cho Oyu is the Nangpa La, a 19,000-foot glacier pass, and the main trade route between the khumbu Sherpas and Tibet.

Circling the Annapurna range, this is one of the more popular bikes treks. In seventeen days it offers a remarkable variety in climatic zones and Nepalese tribes and cultures. We walk by lowland farming country up through alpine forests and meadows, gradually gaining height. We enter the Manang valley, where each village is built like a fortress and has its own monastery. At the head of the valley is the Thorong La Pass(5330m).
The haul to the top is tough, but from its crest superb views unfold. West towards Dhaulagiri, south to the cluster of snow peaks, and north towards the Tibetan plateau. We descend via the pilgrimage center of Muktinath into the Kali Gandaki valley, twice as deep as the grand canyon. Pokhara lakeside, beneath the 'Fish Tail' peak of Machhapuchre, provides a fitting end to this classic Himalayan trek.
