classic walk has clear cut goal to see Mt Everest. Many people
find the sights along the way rival the climatic views of
the world’s highest mountains Solukhumbhu, the home
of legendary sherpas. the northern part of solukhumbu area
is encompassed in the Everest national park, which was established
to protect the fragile environment of this alpine region.
To the east of Everest national park is the Makalu Barun national
park, a remote and wild stretch of mountain peaks and deep
densely forested valleys. To the west is Rolwaling valley,
a well protected microcosm of cultures and ecology. Beside
Everest there are three other 8000m peaks Lhotse(8516m) Makalu(8463m),
Choyo(8201m)and in addition numerous other peaks of lesser
altitude but no less stunning. Add to this glacial lakes,
rhododendron forests, native flora and fauna, traditional
villages and ancient Buddhist monasteries, all go to make
this region a spectacular destination. |
