Everest Trekking
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.
