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. |
