Everest - or to give its proper Nepali name, Sagarmatha ("Brow of the Ocean"), or its even more proper Sherpa name, Chomolungma ("Mother Goddess of the World"). The highest peak in the world is the greatest attraction of the region. The Everest region is the main trekking destination east of Kathmandu. It divides into two distinct areas, the lower, greener and more populous country to the south known as Solu. The region wedged between Solu and the Tibetan border is Khumbu comprising the spectacular, harsh landscape of Everest and the surrounding peaks and glaciated valleys. The Khumbu region is protected within Sagarmatha National Park, which is helping to preserve the remaining forest. The area of the park is 1148 square kilometers. The vegetation includes pine and hemlock forests at lower altitudes, fir, juniper, birch and rhodendron woods, scrub and alpine plant communities, and bare rock and snow. Wild animals most like to be seen in the park are the Himalayan Thar, Ghoral, Serow and musk deer.
 
The memories you freeze are everlasting in this region, remote monasteries, irrepressible Sherpas, and peaks with almost human moods and personalities create an unforgettable experience. The challenge of getting there is great. The choice is between flying to Lukla at, 2800m on the doorstep of Khumbu and taking the bus to Jiri in Solu and trekking. In ideal world, you would walk in from Jiri and fly out of Lukla to avoid back tracking.
