In this part of the country, you will be
enchanted by the awesome beauty of its landscape
and its people who still welcome travelers into
their community with open arms. With plenty of
uninhabited high ridges offering spectacular
view of Makalu, Everest and Kanchanjunga, the
festivals and weekly Haatbazaar, you can go from
complete solitude to immersing yourself in a
diversity of cultures as your heart and soul
desires. And if a strenuous excursion is
desired, the far eastern region of Nepal offers
some of our finest trekking experience, with
some excursions reaching 6,100 meters (18,200
feet) in altitude.
As Mount Everest - known as Sagarmatha ("head of
the sky" or "heaven head") in Nepal- is the
highest mountain in the world, it is no surprise
that large numbers of mountaineers and trekkers
are drawn to the Everest region. The trek to the
Everest Region takes one into the Sagarmatha
National Park and some of the most outstanding
mountain views in the world. The trek goes
through the valley of the Dudh Koshi, and passes
through spectacular forests of blooming
rhododendron, blue pine and fir. The highlights
of this trek abundant with high-Alpine wildlife,
which includes the Himalayan tahr, musk deer and
pikka (mouse hare). Some of the spectacular
birds include the snow crow, snow pigeon and the
impean pheasant.
