Ascend Mount Everest for the opportunity to reach the world's pinnacle, or engage in the widely renowned Everest Base Camp Trek to immerse yourself in a unique realm characterized by ice and snow.
Mount Everest holds the distinction of being the planet's tallest peak above sea level, positioned within the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The summit point of the mountain straddles the China-Nepal border. As of 2020, the Chinese and Nepali authorities have confirmed its snow height elevation at 8,848.86 meters (29,031 feet).
Achieve the pinnacle of the world's elevation or opt to fulfill your aspiration by being present at the base of Mount Everest (8,848.86m).
Beyond being merely a destination for climbing and trekking, the Everest region in Nepal offers a transformative encounter that some regard as a step towards attaining Nirvana. Situated in the northeastern province of Nepal, this area stands in a category of its own, featuring expansive glaciers, cascading icefalls, towering peaks, profound valleys, vulnerable settlements, and resilient inhabitants who confront the most extreme challenges nature presents them at high altitudes where the air is thin.
Journeying through renowned Sherpa communities, the trek offers a blend of profound cultural and spiritual encounters alongside physical trials that assess your resilience and stamina. Buddhist lamas, monks, and nuns guided by revered Rinpoches (reincarnated masters) play a crucial role in tending to the predominantly Sherpa population through their gompas (monasteries).
The expedition towards Everest or Everest Base Camp commences with a breathtaking flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by a trek through the Everest region, leading you to your Himalayan goal. Nonetheless, for ardent trekking enthusiasts, an alternative route starts from Jiri, winding through the mid-hills of Solu—a culturally diverse stretch of the trek that is abundant in experiences.
The Everest region holds significance as a doorway to uncovering the Earth's evolutionary past and serves as a habitat for unique and at-risk species, including the snow leopard, red panda, Himalayan black bear, musk deer, and Himalayan wolves.
