Everest Base Camp trekking is well-known because of the friendly Sherpa people, colorful festival and the Buddhist monasteries. This region is known as Khumbu and has been bounded in the Sagarmatha National Park, one of the world heritage sites of Nepal. Sagarmatha is the Nepalese name of the Mount Everest, the top of the world.
2. There are two base camps on opposite sides of Mount Everest: to the south in Nepal and to
the north in Tibet. The Everest Base Camp to the south side is located at an altitude of 5,364
meters and is one of the most popular routes in the Himalayas. This region is visited by
thousand of trekkers each year. Trekkers usually fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to save time
and energy before beginning the trek to the Base Camp. From Lukla the trekkers trek up
towards the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar (3440m), following the valley of Dudh Koshi
river. At this point, the trekkers are allowed a day of rest for acclimatization. After then, a
few days of trek leads to the Everest Base Camp, via Gorakshep, flat field below the Kala
Patthar (5550m).
