Adventurous
Trip to Everest Region
The
Mount Everest or The Solu Khumbu region is one of the best-known
treks in the world. This is the land of the Sherpa people
and the world's great 8000-meter peaks. Many trekkers walk
in from the road-head at Jiri, through the lovely rolling
hills of the Solu region. Others fly in to the village to
Lukla to start their trek or fly to Phaplu and start their
trek. A few days above Lukla is the entrance to The Sagarmatha
national park and the town of Namche Bazaar, where most trekkers
take a day to acclimatize to the high attitude. >From here
one may branch towards the village of Thame, continue on to
take on of the two main Khumbu routes, to Gokyo Lake, or towards
the Everest Base Camp. Beyond Namche Bazaar is the Sherpa
village of Khumjung. There are many monasteries and further
on the famous monastery of Tingboche, Thame and Chiwang. Here
the Mani Rimdu festival of Dances is celebrating every year.
