Home to the world's highest peak, the Everest region (Khumbu) offers legendary treks through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery on Earth.
The Everest region, also known as the Khumbu, is the crown jewel of Nepal trekking. Centered around Sagarmatha National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), this region is home to Mt. Everest (8,849m) and several other 8,000m+ peaks. The area is the heartland of the Sherpa people, whose warm hospitality, Buddhist monasteries, and colorful prayer flags add a rich cultural dimension to every trek. Treks here typically begin with a thrilling flight to Lukla and range from the classic Everest Base Camp trek to more adventurous routes like the Three Passes Trek and Gokyo Lakes.
