The
Everest region of Nepal is one of the best known trekking
regions in the world. This is the land of the Sherpa people
and the world's great 8,000 meter peaks. Many trekkers
walk in from the road head at Jiri, through the lovely
rolling hills of the Solu region. Others fly in to the
village of Lukla to start their trek. A few days above
Lukla, is the entrance to the Sagarmatha (Everest) National
Park and the town of Namche Bazaar, where most trekkers
take a day to acclimatize to the high altitude. From here
one may branch towards the village of Thame or continue
on to take on of the two main trekking routes, to Gokyo
Lake or towards the Everest base camp. Trekking in Everest
Region gives you choices of trekking up to Thyangboche
Monastery, Gokyo Lake or Everest Base Camp. However, Thame
valley, Gokyo Lake and Everest Base camp could be combined
to tailor your own trekking ideas.
