The Mount Everest or the Solu Khumbu region is the second most popular trekking area in Nepal. It would probably the most popular destination to the people all around the world. This region is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain (8848 m) but also for its Sherpa people, picturesque villages great variety of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals and monasteries. The flora and fauna are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park. The story of the yeti is still a mystery to the world from the Khumbu region. The main highlight of the trekking that we offer is the visit to the Everest Base Camp at an elevation of 5340 m. An Everest trek involves a tremendous amount of up and down walking. All the rivers in this part of Nepal flow south from Himalayan glaciers, but the trek route proceeds east. Therefore the trail must climb to the ridge that separates two rivers, descend to the river itself and ascend the next ridge. Most of our trips start with a scenic flight landing you at the airstrip of Lukla 2850 m from where you begin your walking to the Sherpa villages and ends up with the another scenic flight back to Kathmandu offering the view of a lifetime. |
