Everest Region

As Mount Everest - known as Sagarmatha ("head of the sky" or "heaven head") in Nepal - is the highest mountain in the world, it is no surprise that large numbers of mountaineers and trekkers are drawn to the Everest region. The trek to the Everest region takes one into the Sagarmata National Park and some of the most outstanding mountain views in the world.
The trek goes through the valley of the Dudh Koshi, and passes through spectacular forests of blooming rhododendron, blue pine and fir.
The highlights of this trek include Namche Bazaar, the famous monastery at Tengboche and Kala Patthar on the way to the Everest Base Camp. This area is also abundant with high-Alpine wildlife, which includes the Himalayan tahr, musk deer and pikka (mouse hare). Some of the spectacular birds include the snow crow, snow pigeon and the Impean pheasant.

  1. For this is the journey that men and women make, to find themselves. If they fail in this, it doesn't matter much else what they find.
