Everest Trekking
The Mt. Everest trekking of Solu Khumbu region is the most popular trekking area in the world. It would probably be the most popular trekking destination, but it is more difficult to get Solu Khumbu than the other trekking region of Himalaya. To get near Everest, you must either walk for a week of fly to Lukla, a remote mountain airstrip where flights are notoriously unreliable. Everest trekking is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain (8850m), but also for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. The nominal goal of an Everest trek is the Everest base camp at an elevation of about 5340m. You cannot see Everest from the base camp, so most trekker’s trek to Kala Pattar, a 5545m bump on the southern flank of Pumori (7145m). From Kala Pattar there is a dramatic view of Mt. Everest.
Everest Trekking other than the problem of access, the other major complication to an Everest trek is the high likelihood of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This potentially deadly disease, commonly known as altitude sickness, is caused by climbing too quickly to a high elevation. If we suffer symptoms of Altitude Sickness and cannot trek to Everest base camp, we can still make a worthwhile trek to less ambitious destinations such as Namche Bazar, the major attractive settlement of the Khumbu region; Khumjung or Thami, which are more typical Sherpa villages; or Tengboche monastery. From Tengboche you get an excellent view of Everest and its more spectacular neighbor Ama Dablam (6856m).
The classic walk through the Sherpa homeland of Solu-Khumbu is a tough trek with a clear goal –is always to see Mt. Everest, the highest peak of the world. There are many ways to trek in this area. One can either walk all the way up and back, or walk one way and fly out on the way back, or fly in and out depending on the time at hand and inclination. The first requires a month, the second just about three weeks and the third at least two weeks.
Most Everest trekkers avoid the hardest walking by flying in and out of Lukla airstrip. If you have got time and energy, the walk in from Jiri through the Sherpa's traditional homeland is worth the extra effort. It passes through the lovely region called Solu and the narrow gorge of the Dudh Kosi to reach the high mountain region of Khumbu in a little over a week. Khumbu is exceptionally at high altitude with trekking routes going up to plus 5,500 meters. Solu can be trekked year around while Everest trekking season is limited. September-November and March-June are the busiest trekking season of Everest region. Besides good weather, this period offers the five-day Dumje festival (usually April) and the masked Mani Rimdu dances held at major monasteries in spring and fall. Khumbu is a good region for a monsoon trek. High pastures are full of wildflowers and grazing yaks, and the people are relaxed, taking a well-deserved break from this Everest trekking and expedition work.
