difficult to get Solu Khumbu than to the Annapurna region area.One
must either walk for a week or fly to Lukla to get near Everest.
The number of trekkers to Everest has increased dramatically because
of the publicity the mountain has received from several sources.
Solu Khumbu is famous not only for the world?s highest Mt.Everest
(8848m.), but also the unique settlements of Sherpa villages, old
monasteries, daily lifestyles and their rich culture wait to show.
The primary goal of trekking in Everest region is stepping at least
the Everest Base Camp (5340m.). It is the matter of fact that Mt.Everest
can not be observed from the base camp. So, most of the trekkers
climb Kala Pattar (5545m.) which is situated on the southern flank
of Pumori (7145m.). Not only Everest but also other mountain peaks
such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Amadablam , Pumori , Thamserku , Kantega, Kwangde and others can be seen from Kala
Pattar.
