Trekking in Everest
Region
Everest trekking offers
you great opportunity to
have unique experience.
The Everest area is
situated in eastern
Nepal. It is protected
by the Sagarmatha
National Park,
established in 1976 with
an area of 1148 square
kilometers. The park is
largely composed of the
rugged terrain and
gorges of the high
Himalayas. Altitude
ranges from 2845 meters
above sea level
(9,330ft) to the top of
the world, Mt. Everest
at 8848 meters
(29,028ft). Mount
Everest, the highest
mountain in the world,
which is known in Nepal
as "Sagarmatha" the
goddess mother of the
world, has long been the
greatest attraction for
nature lovers and
trekkers alike.
Solukhumbu, the
heartland of the Everest
Region and an integral
part of the Himalayan
mystique, thus provides
a welcome destination
for these adventurers.
Throughout this trek
trekkers are overwhelmed
with views of
unbelievable peaks,
Buddhist monasteries,
and friendly Sherpa
villages. Perhaps some
may even have a glance
of the Yeti! The local
people believe that the
Pangboche Monastery
actually has in its
possession the real
scalp of this Himalayan
legend. As we proceed
slowly to allow for
maximum acclimation, we
will have plenty of
opportunity to visit
monasteries and sherpa
homes of this region.
Most of our Sherpa crew
come from the Sherpa
households of this area.
Incredible views of
Everest and the
surrounding peaks are
the inescapable fare
while we ascend Kala
Patthar.
