Everest Region

Sagarmatha National park serves as the home for the indomitable Mt Everest. The highest peak in the world, Mt Everest (8,848m), is also known as Sagarmatha in Nepali. This region serves as home to many other famous mountains such as Mt. Lhotse (8513m), Mt. Nuptse (7864m), and Mt. Makalu (8485m).

Sagarmatha National Park was designated the first national park in Nepal as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the region is called Solukhumbu and home to the iconic Sherpa people. It is where people come every year to attempt to climb the world’s tallest peak, or even more people come to trek to the Everest Base Camp (EBC).

Trekking to the base of Everest is most certainly the main attractions, but it's not all one would experience approaching the most famous place in the world. Along the trek, high Sherpa villages are strung along the trail. This ethnic group is endemic to the Solukhumbu, and the communities showcase their distinct culture and traditions. The trek to the Everest base will also take you to the famous Tengboche Monastery where for centuries, the Sherpa people have been observing their Tibetan Buddhist traditional ceremonies and festivals.

The main draw here is the EBC Trek, and it's one of the most famous treks in the world for a good reason. But there are other exceptional hiking trails in this area to be savored. The Gokyo Trek, Jiri-Everest Base Camp Trek, and the Phaplu Trek are just some of the alternatives if you are looking for another choice to ever-popular EBC Trek.

Alternatively, there are many peaks for climbing that also create a draw to this region. Island Peak (6160m), Mera Peak (6470m), and Lobuche Peak (6119m) are big attractions too. Whatever trek or peak you choose, this unique and iconic part of Nepal will imprint its beauty and power onto your heart and soul for a lifetime. The best time to enjoy the best of the Everest region is during spring and autumn.
