Trekking in Everest

|
The name "Everest" is magic in itself. Everest
(8848m.) is called "SAGARMATHA" in Nepali -
"Higher than the Sky" and "CHHOMOLUNGMA" in
Tibetan - "Mother Goddess of the Earth".
The Mount Everest or Solu Khumbu region is one
of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal -
tinged with the romance of being so close to the
highest mountain in the world. The route lies in
the highest wildlife reserve in the world, the
Sagarmatha National Park. It covers an area of
1,148 sq. km. of Himalayan ecological zone. The
park altitudes range from 2,845m at Monju to the
top of the world, UNESCO listed the park as a
World Heritage Site in 1979 for its unique
natural, cultural and landscape characteristics.
A trek in this region follows the course of the
Dudh Kosi, the 'River of Milk', gradually
climbing through forests of rhododendron and
magnolia. It takes one to the foothills of the
mightiest of the mountains in the world. En
route, one traverses through rhododendron and
pine forests, rivers, Sherpa villages and
Buddhist Monasteries from temperate to snow line
regions. The Himalayas are best seen on this
trek as one traces the main route through the
Khumbu region from the Sherpa town of Namche
Bazaar. Trekkers get a close view of the world's
greatest mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama
Dablam, Thamserku, Tawache and many other
unnamed mountains and peaks.
For the people of this exotic region, the hard
grind in the daily life in the high Himalayas is
interrupted by seasons of feasts and festivals,
marked by dancing and general merry making. Most
festivals are of religious nature and centre on
the temples and monasteries, with rites
conducted by lamas (priests). These festivals
are spread out through the full moon days of
May, June, July, August and November in
different sections of the Himalayas. While the
Sherpas are the most predominant people of
Solukhumbu, in the lower region of Solu, the
Khaling Rai culture prevails as well. In Khumbu
where agriculture land is limited, livestock
raising and trade is more important, while Solu
with less severe winters grows a variety of
staple crops. |
