In the land of the Himalayas, Nepallies the splendid Everest Region, also known as the Khumbu region. Rich with the gifts of nature like Mt. Everest (8848m) and the cultural spirit of ancient Sherpa villages, the Everest region is one of the most sought out destinations in the world. When it comes to capturing the essence of the Everest region on a trip, Everest Expedition unquestionably is the best option.

Everest Expedition is filled with the thrill of traveling on the highest plateaus, and the splendor of seeing the beautiful coral lakes and sparkling glaciers. This is an opportunity one should not miss out on. After all, nothing comes close to the experience of being “on the top of the world.” The expedition takes gear from an exciting and scenic flight to Lukla at 2860m. From Lukla, your adventure on foot begins. The trek takes you to the commercial hub of Everest, Namche Bazaar. Here, you will be greeted with the unobstructed panoramic view of the Khumbu giants along with the beautiful Mt. Everest.

Tengboche and Dingboche are some other high-altitude settlements you pass through along the trek. These villages give you an outlook into the daily lives of the Sherpa people who live in harsh conditions. The Everest Base Camp and Everest Summit climbing are the highlights of the expedition.The adrenaline rush finally gets to you as you walk through the slippery and rocky pathways. As the 45-day summit climbing comes to an end, you will travel downwards, experiencing the cold, snowy tracks changing into warm forests filled with exotic animals and birds.

Autumn (September to December) and spring (March to May) gathers most travelers as these seasons are the perfect time for the expedition. You will require a Sagarmatha National Park entry permit along with a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) card. A royalty fee, according to the nature of your travel, is also required.
