Especially “Roof of the World” Mt. Everest will be at your feet. At the foot of Mount Everest, on its southern side, lies the Everest Base camp. For utilizing the fruitful 1953 undertaking of Hilary and Tenzing and endless Everest campaigns from that point forward.

The Everest region is situated 120km northeast of Kathmandu, and UNESCO has listed it as a World Heritage Site since 1979. It covers an area of 1148 sq km. The stunning landscape has breathtaking panoramas, deep valley gorges, and crystal-clear rivers.  

Furthermore, the harsh and rugged terrain, dissected by deep ravines, the higher you trek. Elevations range from 2845m in the south to 8848 meters, the summit of Everest in the north on the borders with Tibet.

At lower levels, there are many forests of silver fir, birch, and rhododendron, and when you are high, there is little, perhaps some juniper scrub found in areas above 4500m. Important mammals found in the park include the Himalayan black bear, red panda, musk deer, and thar.

Trekking Routes

There are many ways to reach the famous Everest Base Camp, and each route is unique and filled with adventure. One of the most famous trekking routes is through Jiri, a classic way taken by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. You will be walking in their footsteps, and the trekking adventure takes more than 20 days, giving you a perfect opportunity to explore Everest Region. 

The other famous trekking route is through the three high passes. We will cross the high passes toward the trekking trail of Everest Base Camp. Renjo La (5,388m), Cho La (5,380m), and Kongma La (5,535m) are one of the highest passes in Nepal, where you can view a perfect sight of Mt. Everest (8,848m.) This route also takes more than 20 days to reach your destination. 

One of the shorter routes to reach Everest is the Gokyo Cho-La Pass trek. You will explore the beautiful and deep turquoise lakes of the Gokyo Valley and watch Mt. Everest from a top elevation of 5,388m at Cho-La Pass. This trek route takes 15 days and will take you to the “Roof of the World” in less than 20 days. 

If you want to spend a longer time in this region, the classic route of Jiri is the best adventure one can experience. However, if you want to take a short yet adventurous trek to Everest, the best way would be through Gokyo and Cho-La Pass and the regular trekking route through Kala Patthar.
