The world highest peak Mt. Everest and it’s base camp always attracting tourist since 1950s. Every year thousands of the traveler around the world visit the base camp (5360m).

Tengboche Monastery is a heaven for photographers and is the great highlight of the trek; it lies in the backdrop of Mt. Amadablam, Mt Everest, Mt. Lhotse, and other huge mountains. Climbing up Kalapatthar gives us breathtaking views of Mt. Everest along with other Himalayan giants. Kalapathar is another hill which is remarkably famous for sunrise and sunset over the Himalaya. It is also the place where the Nepal government has done a cabinet meeting on the topic of global warming.

Lukla is the town where the plane touched the ground. It is also claiming that one of the challenging airport in the world. The short runway, high chances of turbulance, mountain are challenging the pilots. A tiny Lukla is the exit and entry point of the Everest trekking region.
