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. |
