Mountains Everest surround
Everest Mountains surround the eastern Himalayan strip of Nepal. Everest region is home to over 300 different mountains ranging in various elevations. Precambrian high-grade metamorphic rocks elevate up to 8848.86 meters above sea level. Following these rocky formations are semi-arid rocky hills.
Dudh Koshi River flows between these gigantic massifs. Traversing along these rocky hills has been one of the greatest adventure activities. The trail follows the highest passes: Renjo La Pass (5345 meters), Cho-La Pass (5420 meters), and Kongma-La Pass (5535 meters). This traverse circumnavigates the Everest high hill called Three Passes Trek in the Everest.
The three-pass trek to Everest is an adventuresome journey. Trekkers begin their trip from the bustling city of Kathmandu. A startling flight headed eastward takes you from Kathmandu to Lukla. Lukla is stationed at the base of a hill with a Tenzing Hillary airstrip-like porch. From Lukla, we head northeast, following the Dudh Koshi River. Additionally, the trail unveils its amusing geography as we move further. We take on the Sherpa hamlets along the path.
