Everest Region
North-east Nepal Best time: Mar–May & Sep–Nov
The Khumbu — homeland of the Sherpa people and gateway to Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest). Pine-and-rhododendron forests give way to glacial moraines and an amphitheater of 8,000-metre peaks.
Highlights
What to see in Everest Region
Curated by our local team — the places we'd send our own family to.
Tengboche Monastery
The largest gompa in the Khumbu, perched at 3,860m with a perfect frame of Ama Dablam behind it.
Kala Patthar (5,545m)
The single best viewpoint of Mt. Everest on the planet — sunrise from here is the trek's most iconic moment.
Gokyo Lakes
A string of turquoise glacial lakes and a four-peak panorama from Gokyo Ri — a quieter alternative to EBC.
