17D Everest Base Camp Trek
Kingdom of Nepal
The very name “Everest” draws wide attention. But the world’s highest mountains, their glaciers and moraine are not the only features in this unique National Park. The Solu-Khumbu region is also home to the famous Sherpa people and their ancient culture and religion. The chance of seeing rare flora and fauna is also high.
