Everest region. Namche Bazaar is about 241 km from Kathmandu and distance is
generally covered within 15 days by trekking. Now here else can you immerse
yourself so totally among the highest mountains on earth and travel among
legendary Sherpas. One can fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, Phaplu or Syangboche in
Everest region. Accommodations are available at Lukla, Namche Bazaar, Tyangboche,
Pangboche, Pheriche, Lobuche and Gorakhshep.
Everest - or to give its proper Nepali name, Sagarmatha ("High As Sky”), or its
even more proper Sherpa name, Chomolungma ("Mother Goddess of the World"). The
highest peak in the world is the greatest attraction of the region. The Everest
region is the main trekking destination east of Kathmandu. It divides into two
distinct areas, the lower, greener and more populous country to the south known
as Solu. The region wedged between Solu and the Tibetan border is Khumbu
comprising the spectacular, harsh landscape of Everest and the surrounding peaks
and glaciated valleys. The Khumbu region is protected within Sagarmatha National
Park, which is helping to preserve the remaining forest. The area of the park is
1148 square kilometers. The vegetation includes pine and hemlock forests at
lower altitudes, fir, juniper, birch and rhodendron woods, scrub and alpine
plant communities, and bare rock and snow. Wild animals most like to be seen in
the park are the Himalayan Thar, Ghoral, Serow and musk deer.
The memories you freeze are everlasting in this region, remote monasteries,
irrepressible Sherpas, and peaks with almost human moods and personalities
create an unforgettable experience. The challenge of getting there is great. The
choice is between flying to Lukla at, 2800m on the doorstep of Khumbu and taking
the bus to Jiri in Solu and trekking. In ideal world, you would walk in from
Jiri and fly out of Lukla to avoid back tracking.
