Everest
Base Camp via Jiri |
The 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.
Gokyo valley is located in the west part of Khumbu and it
is far less developed and crowded than its better known neighbour
to the east. In fact, Gokyo valley has one traditional permanent
settlement.
