Everest Region

The Everest Region, also known as the Khumbu, is home to the highest peak on Earth — Mount Everest (8,848.86m). This legendary region in eastern Nepal draws trekkers, mountaineers, and adventurers from every corner of the world. The Everest Base Camp trek is the most iconic trek in the Himalayas, passing through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and dramatic mountain landscapes. Namche Bazaar, the "Capital of the Khumbu," is a bustling trading town perched on a mountainside. Tengboche Monastery offers one of the most spectacular mountain views anywhere on Earth. Beyond Everest itself, the region boasts numerous peaks above 8,000m including Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu. The Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects the unique high-altitude ecosystem including Himalayan tahr, snow leopards, and the elusive red panda. The Sherpa culture, deeply intertwined with the mountains, adds a rich human dimension to any visit.
