But what makes the experience more dramatic and exciting is the variety of flora and fauna in the region with small Sherpa villages built amidst such a bio-diverse region. There are several Buddhist monasteries on the way to the base camp and most Sherpa’s believe that prayers offered for fair weather will be answered and hence a stopover is necessary. Add to all this, a hot cup of tea made from Yak milk after a tiring day of high-altitude trek and your experience will be complete!
