Everest Adventure Trek

Home to the world famous Sherpa and the highest peak in the world, the Everest locally called sagarmatha solukhumbu offers a combination of natural beauty, culture and adventure in one life changing experience. Thousands of tourists flock to solukhumbu every year to discover a land where the people, the culture and environment are as time less as the mighty Himalayas.

Everest Region

The Mt. Everest or solukhumbu region is the second-most popular trekking area in Nepal. It would probably be the most popular destination, but it is more expensive and difficult to get to solukhumbu than to the Annapurna area. To get near Everest, you must either walk for a week or fly to Lukla, a remote mountain airstrip where flights are notoriously unreliable.

SoluKhumbu is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain (8850m), but also for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. The nominal goal of an Everest trek is the Everest base camp at an elevation of about 5340m. You cannot see Everest from the base camp, so most trekkers goes to from other side of the valley like Gokyo and cho-la and further climb kalapathar, a 5545m bump on the southern flank of pumori (7145m). From kalapathar there is a dramatic view of Mt Everest.

Other than the problem of access, the other major complication to an Everest trek is the high likelihood does Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Climbing too quickly to a high elevation causes this potentially deadly disease, commonly known as altitude sickness. Be sure to read the. If you suffer symptoms of altitude sickness and cannot go to base camp, you can still make a worthwhile trek to less ambitious destinations such as Namche Bazaar, the administrative headquarters of the khumbu region; khumjung or Thami, which are more typical Sherpa villages; to Tengboche monastery. From Tengboche you get an excellent view of Everest and its more spectacular neighbor Ama Dablam (6856m).

The number of trekkers to Everest has increased dramatically because of the publicity the mountain has received from several sources. The large-screen IMAX movie Everest provided a huge number of viewers with dramatic picture of mountaineering on Everest. The 1996 disaster, in which eight climbers perished, was chronicled in Jon krakauer’s Into Thin Air, which became a bestseller and captured the imagination of people who wanted to see the mountain. After decades of catering to less than 10,000 jumped to 20,000 visitors in the 1997 season and more than 26,000 in 2000.
