Home to the world's highest peak and Sherpa culture
The Everest region, or Khumbu, is home to Mt. Everest (8,848m) and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery on the planet. Sagarmatha National Park protects a landscape of glaciers, high passes, and Sherpa villages strung along ancient trading trails.
Whether you trek for two weeks to Everest Base Camp or take a single morning helicopter flight, the Khumbu delivers an unmatched sense of scale — along with genuine Sherpa hospitality, Buddhist monasteries like Tengboche, and the bustling trail town of Namche Bazaar.
