Everest Base Camp is recommended as one of the important sites to be visited before one dies. Out of fourteen highest peaks all over the world, Nepal is loaded with spectacular mountain vistas including the highest
Mt. Everest (8848 m.). The Everest trek is more famous because of the friendly Sherpa people, colorful festivals and the
Buddhist monasteries. The region is regarded as
Khumbu and has been bounded in the
