 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. |
