 Everest
area 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. |
