…………………………………………The
land of sherpas
The Everest or solukhumbu region is the second-most popular
trekking region in Nepal. It would probably be the most popular
destination for the trekkers.Solukhumbu is popular not only
for its proximity to the Everest (8848m) but also for its
inhabitants, sherpa village and monasteries. The nominal destination
of an Everest is the Everest Basecamp at an elevation of 5340
meters from there a Kalapatter, a 5545 m bump on the southern
flank of pumori (7145). From Kalapatter there is a dramatic
view of Everest.
An Everest Trek involves a tremendous amount of up and down
waling a glance at the map will show the reason why. All the
rivers in this part of Nepal flow south From Himalayan glaciers,
but the trek route proceeds east therefore the trail must
climb to the ridge that separates two rivers, descend to the
river itself, and ascend the next ridge. Even though the trek
begins at an elevation of 1860m, on the sisth day it crosses
the Dudh kosi at only 1500m- after considerable uphill and
downhill walking.
