A flight from Kathmandu can approximately take about forty five minutes before it touches down the airport at Lamidada. Lamidada Airport is a trade point at Khotang district in Nepal. This trekking trail is newly opened and probably the least frequented trail by the tourists. As the trekking proceeds ahead leaving the airport behind, the trail leads trekkers through villages where  different indigenous people live relying on agriculture and small local level trade. As the trekkers explore the exotic nature through beauty of the jungles and villages, the trail offers a wide range of flora and fauna to the trekkers. Because of the fact that the trail meanders up, down in a zigzag manner, trekkers need endurance and fitness so that they can enjoy a d appreciate the heart-taking beauty of Khotang Valley, which later connects to the Mahakulung Valley as the trail proceeds ahead towards Mahakulung Municipality in Solukhumbu in Nepal. As the trail proceeds North to Rawa Khola , a locally famous river, and ahead towards villages Baksila and Sugdel the trekkers have to cross Teen Dobhan , thereafter the trail makes its way through a pilgrimage site Salpa, considered to be religiously sacred, which is gradually getting touristic recognition day after day currently.

Just above Salpa Lake, there is a famous rocky peak known as Silucho Peak (4,156m) from the sea level. Silucho Peak has a touristic value because from the peak of this rocky hill, one can see over twenty two famous peaks of Nepal including some world famous mountains like Mt. Everest, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Chhamlang, Mt. LMt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt.Baruntse, Mt.Lhotse, Mt.Nuptse ,Mt. Amadablam,and  Mt.Thamserku . In the lap of Silichho Peak, there is a beautiful serene lake named Salpa Lake. As a matter of fact, Salpa Lake and Silichho Peak both hold strikingly religious value as they are believed to be the abodes of the God. People from far and wide flock to these holy places to worship the God for blessing and the worshippers believe that many lives of theirs have been blessed by the God fulfilling their wishes or  dreams of wellbeing and prosperity.

Returning from Siluchho Peak and Salpa Lake, the trail goes westwards down to Sherpa villages Sanam  and Nimchola and reaches Mahakulung, a combine name of three beautiful villages Gudel, Bung and Chheskam. Mahakulung simply means “The Greater Kulung” because the major inhabitants of this area is Kulung with Sherpas and other ethnic groups in minority. Mahakulung is a rich store for culture, tradition, flora, fauna and beautiful nature. From here, trekkers can opt for Hungu Valley-Amphu Lapcha Pass Trekking, Hungu Valley-Mera Peak Climbing Trekking and Hungu Valley –Everest Base Camp via Amphu Lapcha Trek , as these are optional routes. Then onwards, the trekking proceeds through beautiful Gudel, Cheskam, Bung and all the way to Phaplu,the ending point of the trekking, from where trekkers fly back to Kathmandu.  

It would be our pleasure to arrange camping (tents camp)trekking on this trip. This trekking is possible to operate in any season but Spring and summer can be the best seasons for this trekking. Siluchho peak trekking itinerary can be made short as well as long according to your holiday duration and wish. This Trekking area has very basic Trekkers lodge (Teahouse) facilities Managed by Area Hotel / lodge management committee and tented camping trip also can be organized.

Best Time to Travel
As for the propitious seasons to carry out the trekking in the Everest  Region, the suggestable time would be September to November and March to May. During these times, the visit will be showered with the arcane beauty of the nature and the outstanding landscape views. To avoid the traffic, you can choose any of the times from December to February. It is also to be informed that during the winter the temperature here goes down low that poses challenges to the travelers. Except for botanists, the trekking in this region in monsoon or summer that is from June to August can be impacted by the rain.

Silichho Peak Lamidada Trekking Highlights
The scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lamidada is profoundly thrilling. Venturing into the wild via rustic settlements resided primarily by Chamling and Khaling ethnic groups, camping in the forested ridges, the trekking reach Mahakulung Valley, a combination of three beautiful Kulung villages: Bung, Gudel and Chheskam. Gudel, separated by Hungu river offers panoramic Silichho Peak (4156m) and Salpa Pokhari (4000m), both believed to be abodes of Gods associated with paranormal abilities to bless their devotees with fortune and prosperity. The crystal clear view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Makalu, Chamlang, and Thamserku from the top of Silichho is ultimately phenomenal. A tiny Sherpa village Sanam in the lap of nature is a spot for short stop and refreshment. Mahakulung is a good store of Kulung culture and tradition in anthropological perspective. The flight back from Phaplu to Kathmandu offers a euphoric sense of completion.
