Everest Region

The Everest region comprises two different districts namely Solu and Khumbu (3, 300 m). Its other name is Khumbu. The locale is famous for trekkers wishing to go to the abode of Mt. Everest.

Jiri or Shivalaya route provides an outlook of the entire Khumbu region. However, most of the trekkers start their journey nowadays from Lukla.

The Khumbu starts from 3, 300 meters and up to 8, 848 meters from Everest itself. Most of the Khumbu is within the Sagarmatha national park (1, 148 square kilometers).

This national park is the home of several species of plants and specifically, many species of Rhododendron and Pine. It is as well home to some rare species of animals including the rare snow leopard, Himalayan Thar, black bear and musk deer.
