Officially opened in 2009 by the Nepal Tourism Board, The Numbur Cheese Circuit Trek in the Ramechhap District of Nepal. lies within the Gauri Shankar Conservation Area, which borders Sagarmatha National Park. The path guides trekkers into faraway lands, through Sherpa settlements to the lap of Numbur Peak (6959 meters/22,831 feet). The unclimbed sacred peak. It is considered the protector deity of Solu.
Starting our trek from Shivalaya, also the start of the Everest Base Camp trek for those who don't fly to Lukla. The trek can offer visitors superb views of major Himalayan peaks including Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Gaurishankar Numburchuili and many more. Walk through deep river gorges, glacial lakes, terraced rice fields, subtropical forests and Sherpa villages to the Lhiku Khola glacier, watched over by the towering peaks of Pathibarra and Numburchuili. Visit one of Nepal’s first cheese factories, established in 1957. Thirteen cheese-making spots throughout the trail. Some of them are decades old! Most of them, though, are only open during the monsoon season (June to September). At least one of the factories, nearby The Famous Thodung Monastery, operates all year around. Due to the remoteness of the trail stops only few trekkers have made their way to the remote highlands of the Numbur Cheese Circuit trail. Where there are guesthouses or homestays, we can stay there upon your request. Otherwise, we will be camping outside under a tent. This means that the trails are nearly empty, providing a real wilderness experience. Throughout the journey, Locals become friends of trekkers.
