Everest region trekking or Everest base camp trekking is the most popular trekking among trekkers since there are majestic mountains in the area. The Everest region, located in the north-east of Nepal, is not only a famous destination for tourists in Nepal for its scenic views of the highest peak of the world, Mt. Everest [8,848 M.29035 ft] but also other mountains stretched across as white-shaped teeth. Besides the mountains, the region is well known for the loyalty and friendliness of its inhabitants, the Sherpa people.
Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world, is known as Sagarmatha (the goddess mother of the world) in Nepal. It has long been the greatest attraction for nature lovers and trekkers.
