Daunting but Rewarding the Everest Region Trek

The EVEREST is more of a holy place than a peak to be trekked: a dangerous yet exciting personal test with a clear goal at the end, the trek takes you through the Sherpa country, among some of the world’s most awe-inspiring peaks. In terms of fame and trekkers, this region comes second after Annapurna circuit trek.

The most experienced of trekkers start their treks around Solu-Khumbu, situated in the Everest region, though all the routes reach up to the same trail. From the startling airstrip located at Lukla, the path leads north into mountainous Khumbu region, the insanely high altitude Sherpa homeland. The trail branches out above the Sherpa capital of Namche: one course leads to the Everest Base Camp; the other for the stunning Gokyo Lakes. Both the points can be reached by crossing a high pass called the Cho La.

The Everest region trek, is one of the most daunting and exciting trek you can indulge in. Trekkers from around the world, come each years in numbers to scale down few peaks and high passes. The feeling of accomplishment they feel is second to none. Even people, who have no prior experience of trekking can take part in this walking vacation. It’s one of the most absorbing experience, but should be experienced one in your lifetime.
