 Everest
trek 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. |
