Region Trekking in Nepal! "Mother Goddess of the
World"
Magnificent
mountain peaks, warm Sherpa hospitality, and a feeling
of accomplishment await you when exploring the Everest
area. The trek holds a variety of routes, which can
be tailored to suit your schedule. Your adventure can
last anywhere from a week to a month. The journey begins
in the fertile valleys of Solu. The trekker will traverse
deep canyons and tall ridges the first week, ascending
a total of 9000m (the height of Mt. Everest itself).
Although strenuous, the acclimatization gained, as well
as lasting images of terraced fields, rhododendron forests,
and tumbling gorges, validates the effort. Many travelers
forego this first stage in favor of a shorter trip and
fly directly into Lukla, where they wander through Kumbu
Himal, the shadow of Everest. Spectacular peaks dwarf
the ancient Buddhist monasteries along the trail, transporting
the trekker into a timeless world within the remote
mountain slopes. The beauty awakens the explorer in
everyone; many trekkers delve into side trips to the
picturesque waters and hauntingly gray glaciers of Gokyo.
Others conquer mini peaks over 5000m, which boast spectacular
view of Mt. Everest. If you allow the time to ascend
at your own pace, this trek is open to the moderately
fit. The best time for trekking is early October to
mid-November or late March to late April. It is also
possible to trek in winter but be prepared for the cold. |
