"Experience the Everest Region with a Local Sherpa Guide"

The Everest region is situated in the eastern part of Nepal, within the Solukhumbu District. This district is one of the 14 districts in the Koshi Province of eastern Nepal and is aptly named as it comprises the subregions of Solu and Khumbu. The Everest region is the cherished homeland of the legendary Sherpa people, known across the globe for their integrity, hard work, and warm hospitality. They have become beloved among travelers, especially Europeans and Americans who journey to Nepal to fulfill their Himalayan adventure dreams.

Remarkably, 99 percent of the lodges along the trekking routes in the Everest region are owned and operated by Sherpa families. The Sherpa name is synonymous with Everest and the Everest region itself. Without the Sherpa people, the tourism experience in Nepal would remain incomplete.

The Everest region is also known as the Khumbu region. It offers a trekking adventure that is unparalleled, providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventure enthusiasts. This incredible journey takes you deep into the heart of the Nepalese Himalayas, where you'll be treated to awe-inspiring vistas of some of the world's highest and most stunning mountains, all while enjoying the heartwarming hospitality of Sherpa villages.

Not only is the high-altitude region captivating, but the lower parts of the Everest region are equally beautiful, offering a plethora of trekking options.
