About Everest Region (Khumbu)
The Everest Region, known as the Khumbu, is a breathtaking Himalayan sanctuary home to the world's highest peaks, ancient Buddhist culture, and the legendary Sherpa people.
How to Explore
Start your journey in Kathmandu, then take a thrilling flight to Lukla to begin your trek. Most visitors base themselves in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization and exploration of nearby monasteries. Move between villages on foot, as there are no roads, relying on well-trodden trails maintained for porters and trekkers. Consider hiring a local guide to navigate the complex terrain and cultural nuances. For shorter trips, fly into Syangboche via helicopter for a quick glimpse of the mountain vistas.
