Geography

Getting to know Everest Region

The Khumbu region in Nepal's northeast is home to Mount Everest and Sagarmatha National Park, a landscape of glacial valleys, high alpine passes and Sherpa villages. Most journeys begin with a short, dramatic flight into Lukla's mountainside airstrip, from which trails climb through Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery toward Everest Base Camp and the region's high viewpoints.
