Everest Region Trekking

The Everest Region (also known as the Khumbu Region). This is second most popular trekking destination after the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. Because of several peaks above 8,000 metres, including Mt. Everest, spectacular mountain view and the Sherpa culture, the Khumbu Region is considered by many adventure lovers as the most attractive destination. Lukla is the gateway to the Everest Region. One can reach Lukla either by walk from Jiri or by air from Kathmandu. With many mountains, hills, valleys and rivers, the region has varied trekking routes. Although the trek starts from an elevation of 1860m at Jiri, the route passes through the Dudh Koshi river (only 1500m). Jiri is connected to Kathmandu by road.
