Everest Region

The Everest Region Trekking is similarly one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal; this is often known as Khumbu Trekking Region . The trekking trail offers breathtaking views of beautiful landscapes in the Himalayas, including the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest.

It starts from Lukla, reached by a short flight from Kathmandu. The trail then goes through Sagarmatha National Park-home for various rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. The trekking trail goes through several villages of traditional Sherpa villages: Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorak Shep.

The visible views of the Himalayas, particularly views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam, are just brilliantly breathtaking from this trekking trail. It also takes you to the Everest Base Camp from where mountaineers climb all the way up to the summit of Mount Everest.

The trekking route is also demanding and needs one to be physically fit. The best time of the year to visit the Everest Region includes the trekking season, which falls between March and May and September and November.

Various trekking options into Namche Bazaar, a place usually dubbed the Gateway to Everest, are offered by the Everest region. Trek to Everest Base Camp is one of the most popular treks in the Everest region. Another attraction on this region is Kala Patthar, from where one might have a fabulous view of the majestic Everest and other peaks when the sun’s lovely rays touch them.

The Everest Three Passes Trek is one of the strenuous trek routes that takes one through three high passes known as Renjo La, Cho La, and Kongma La. Each of them offers an exciting view of the Khumbu Himalayas.

Gokyo Trek can be continued to Gokyo Lake, one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world named after Gokyo Ri peak. Even more spectacular is the setting when the surrounding mountains can be reflected in the lake, although beautiful in itself. The Gokyo lake system comprises 19 lakes covering an area of 485 acres and lying between 4,600 to 5,100 meters above sea level. The lake lies at the head of the Dudh Kosi arising from Cho Oyu.

Among the options for those who do not want to trek for a long time but want to see its grandeur from the regions close to Namche with breathtaking vistas of enormous Everest are Short Everest View Trek and Rapid Everest Base Camp Trek. Other options include Everest Base Camp Trek Heli Out and Luxury Everest Base Camp with Helicopter Return.
