Everest
Region
As Mount Everest - known as Sagarmatha
('head of the sky' or 'heaven head') in Nepal - is the highest
mountain in the world, it is no surprise that large numbers
of mountaineers and trekkers are drawn to the Everest region.
The trek to the Everest region takes one into the Sagarmata
National Park and some of the most outstanding mountain views
in the world. The trek goes through the valley of the Dudh
Koshi, and passes through spectacular forests of blooming
rhododendron, blue pine and fir. The highlights of this trek
include Namche Bazaar, the famous monastery at Tengboche and
Kala Patthar on the way to the Everest Base Camp. This area
is also abundant with high-Alpine wildlife, which includes
the Himalayan tahr, musk deer and pikka (mouse hare). Some
of the spectacular birds include the snow crow, snow pigeon
and the Impean pheasant.
Namche Bazaar, the administrative centre of Khumbu, leads
for 2 main trekking destination i.e. Gokyo lake & Kalapattar
(Everest Base Camp). And Phaplu, leads for Dudh Kunda (the
sacred lake) & around Solu trek. Trekking in Khumbu &
Solu region give you an unique experience of Sherpa society,
culture, religion and their livelihood with extra-ordinary
trekking experience in the great HIM-LAND. At the famous monasteries
of Tengboche, Thame & Chiwang, the Mani Rimdu (Buddhist
