The Everest region is located in the northeast of Nepal. The 10 Day walk through the middle hills of Solu to the higher altitudes of Khumbu to the base of Sagarmatha (Mount Everest), the world's highest peak, is an opportunity to observe and participate in the daily life of the legendary Sherpa people. The prime attraction "Mount Everest" peak at an altudude of 8848 meters lies in Sagarmatha National Park, which is also home to two other Eight thousanders peak such as Mount Lhotse and Mount Cho Oyu besides several other prominent peaks above 6,000 meters.

Sagarmatha National park lies above 3000 meters and is spread around 1,148 square kilometers. This national park has been designated as a world heritage sites in 1779. The park is composed of rugged terrain with deep gorges, glaciers and huge rocks. The vegetation in the park varies from temperate plants like pine, hemlock, fir, juniper, birch, rhododendron and shrubs to alpine plants and then to bare rock and snow. It is home to the ghoral, tahr, serow and musk deer as well as the impeyan pheasant, blood pheasant, red-billed chough and the yellow-billed chough.

The trail to Everest begins at Lukla, the airport at an altitude of 2850 meters. The trail climbs up the Dudhkoshi River Valley, and the following Day brings, you to the legendary Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar in the Khumbu (3500 meters), which is the staging point for expeditions to Everest and other peaks in the area. Above Namche lie the traditional villages of Khunde and Khumjung, the largest villages in the Khumbu at the foot of the sacred peak Khumbila.

Across the canyon from Khunde, perched on a high ridge, is the Tenboche Monastery, the leading Buddhist center in the Khumbu. The monastery rests amid stunning views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.

From Tengboche you can continue on to Pheriche, Kala Patter and the hamlet of Gorakshep. From there, Everest Base Camp is easily accessible, as is the summit of Kala Patter (5545 meters), from which much of Mount Everest is clearly visible. However, you must take time to properly acclimatize as the altitude gains are rapid.
