Himalayas Region Trek in Nepal

Trekking in Himalayas

Everest or upper Khumbu Region, the second most popular trekking area in Nepal, is the home to the world's highest mountains including Mt. Everest (8850m), Cho Oyu (8153m), Makalu (8470m), Ama Dablam (6856m) and many other countless peaks. The region lures thousands of trekkers and mountaineers to explore high mountain valleys, high passes, Buddhist culture and stunning Sherpa villages on such high altitudes. Trekking trails go through the valley of the Dudh Koshi River, Sagarmatha National Park immersing in the natural beauty and most outstanding mountain views all around. Spectacular forests of blooming rhododendron, blue pine and fir add an extra charm. Trekking to this region makes the travelers feel satisfied being at the base of Mt. Everest – the highest mountain in the world.

The highlights of this region include visit to Namche Bazaar, the famous monastery at Tengboche and excursion to Kalapatthar on the way to the Everest Base Camp. This area is also abundant with high-Alpine wildlife.

Mountain flights are offered by several airlines in the morning from the domestic airport in Kathmandu. Flights from Kathmandu reveal the Eastern Himalaya, while flights from Pokhara take you on a bird’s eye view of the Western Himalaya.


                                                            

                                                     Everest High Passes Trek

This is a fantastic trek but quite harder than others trekking visiting all of the high valleys of the Khumbu with extra time at Gokyo to explore the upper valley. You must be physically fit and eager to walk in the Himalayas. Our camp at Gorakshep provides the opportunity to ascend to kalapatthar 5,545m for more spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, including the black rocky ramparts of Everest's southwest face.

Trekking around Gokyo valley is considered a traditional trek that offers magnificent views of the mountain peaks and the Ngozumpa Glacier- the largest in Nepal's Himalayas. The image of this region is associated with the soaring views of the most popular mountains in Nepal, at an altitude of 8000m such as Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu which are clearly visible from Gokyo Ri above Gokyo Lake. We descend to Lukla through Arye, Thame, and Monjoo to Lukla.
