Overview

The most famous trek route in the world and the once in a lifetime experience for stunning beauty of the nature and the magnificent close-up views of the 1st highest Mount Everest, Lhotse stands at 8516m, making it the fourth highest mountain in the world. Similarly Nuptse, Mt. Pumori, Lobuche, Kangteka, Ice Land peak, Thamserku, Amadablam, Twache, Khumbutse, Lingtren, Kongde Ri, are the main attractive snow mountains of this region. These mountains lead through Sherpa villages, forests of fir and rhododendron and across high suspension bridges.

Strenuous trek of the 2nd day leads you to colorful, bustling market of the Namche bazaar with traders from surrounding villages and as far as Tibet, and our ultimate destination Tengboche offers you the sensational views of Mt.

According to legendary history of Kirat, there were 16 Kirat brothers called Shorha Khambu, they were ruled over this land and used to bring their Sheep to grazing and hunting of deers around these Khumbu valley before Sherpa come from Riu Kharta valley of Tibet. Thus the word of Khumbu was changed from Shorha Khambu to Solukhumbu. It has been 300 years since Sherpa People came from Tibet to this place and habited into this valley. Before knowing the Mt. Everest or Nepali Name Sagarmatha, Mt. Everest had local name by Kirant and Sherpa used to call ''Chomolungma'' Baburam Acharya (1888–1971) was a Nepalese historian and literary scholar who coined the name Sagarmatha for the mountain better known as Mount Everest or Chomolungma. It was 1841 when an obscure peak in the Himalayas was recognized as the tallest mountain in the world by a British survey team led by Sir George Everest, and whom Mount Everest was named after in 1865. Today, climbers from across the world attempt to scale its mighty face.
