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 more
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. |
