The Mount Everest or Solu Khumbu region is one of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal - tinged with the romance of being so close to the highest mountain in the world. The route lies in the highest wildlife reserve in the world, the Sagarmatha National Park. It covers an area of 1,148 sq. km. of Himalayan ecological zone. Animals to be sighted in this region are mountain goat musk deer and barking beer in the forests , birds includes implying pheasant (danfe) , ravens crow ,chughs and snow pigeons. The best time to visit here is in spring and autumn. The popular trekking areas are Everest base camp, Gokyo Valley. This trek is designed to fulfill the dream of many people, who wish to experience the historic route to the base of the world's highest mountain. Our carefully devised itinerary with a number of rest days offers an exceptional way to acclimatize safely. On a trip of a lifetime we have learned never to rush a trek to altitude in the Himalaya. If required, it is OK to take some extra few days, which makes all the difference to really being able to enjoy your trek. A slow ascent through wonderful Sherpa villages allows us time to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and visit a number of monasteries. Our trek culminates with a fine opportunity to trek to both Everest Base Camp and the nearby peak of Kala Pattar (5545m) for spectacular views of Mount Everest. On our return journey we savour the high mountain views from our unique private permanent campsites in the company of our Sherpa guides, whose exceptional experience, knowledge and passion for trekking in the Khumbu, adds a further dimension to this memorable trek
