Everest Region
Home to three of the world’s highest mountains - Mt. Everest,
Lhotse, and Cho Oyu - the Khumbu region is perhaps Nepal’s best-known
trekking area. High mountain panoramas compete with the hardy, friendly
Sherpas for your attention as you make your way up winding trails to
the roof of the world.
The specific routes in this area are numerous, but most
treks now begin with a flight to Lukla at 2866 meters. After acclimatization
here, trek through Sherpa villages and glacial valleys to reach Namche
Bazaar and the famous monasteries of Tengboche and Syangboche.
Time permitting, travel on to Everest Base Camp and/or
Kalapattar and the Gokyo Lakes. These areas are famous for their high-reaching
mountain beauty, and will challenge your senses in every way. |
