Mount Everest

Knap 200 km nordøst for Kathmandu ligger Mt. Everest, verdens højeste bjerg. Det rejser sig 8.848 meter over havniveau med en mørk toppyramide, hvorfra der næsten altid blæser en kridhvid snefane.
 


       Hile to Everest

Området hedder Khumbu. Sagarmatha National Park, som dækker hele Khumbu-området, indeholder mange fine eksempler på Himalayas højalpine natur.

I de store dale, der gennemskærer området, bor sherpaerne, der næsten er lige så berømte som de bjerge de bor under. På hele turen får man et stærkt møde med sherpafolket, og kommer gennem landsbyer, yakoksesætere og bor i klosterlandsbyer.
Citat: http://projekter.acu.dk/ty/Nepalrundt/solu-khumbu.htm

 

The Khumbu or Everest region is the most popular trekking area in Nepal. It would probably be the most popular destination, but it is more difficult to get to Solu Khumbu than to the Annapurna area. To get near Everest, you must either walk for 10 days or fly to Lukla, a remote mountain airstrip where flights are notoriously unreliable.

Solu Khumbu is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world's highest mountain (8848 metres), but also for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. The primary goal of an Everest trek is the Everest base camp at an elevation of about 5340 metres. But you cannot see Everest from the base camp, so most trekkers climb Kala Pattar, an unassuming 5545-metre bump on the southern flank of Pumori (7145 metres). http://www.trekinfo.com/about/aboutf.html

 



Arun Kosi
/ Salpa Bhanjyang



 

Dette er trekket fra Hile i sydøst-Nepal via floden Arun Kosi over passet Salpa Bhanjyang til Lukla og Namche i Khumbu.

This trek traverses a wide variety of ecosystems as well as cultural landscapes as it climbs gradually from the mighty Arun River (435m) across Salpa Bhanjyang (3349 m) to the Khumbu region. The route follows the same ground as H. W. Tilman on his approach to the Khumbu Valley in the autumn of 1950.
