The Everest
Region draws a huge number of tourists and trekking
enthusiasts, but has a higher costs of trekking, due to
the fact that you need to fly in fly out. Mount Everest
is the highest mountain in the world. Its elevation of
29,035 feet (8,850 meters) was determined using GPS
satellite equipment on May 5, 1999. It was previously
believed to be slightly lower (29,028 feet /8,848
meters), as determined in 1954 by averaging measurements
from various sites around the mountain. The new
elevation has been confirmed by the National Geographic
Society.
The first seven attempts on Everest, starting with a
reconnaissance in 1921, approached the mountain from
Tibet, where a route to the summit via the North Col and
North Ridge seemed possible. All were unsuccessful.
George Mallory, who spearheaded the first three
expeditions, lost his life with Andrew Irvine during a
failed ascent in 1924. Unsuccessful attempts continued
through 1938, then halted during World War II. By the
war’s end, Tibet had closed its borders, and Nepal,
previously inaccessible, had done the opposite. Starting
in 1951, expeditions from Nepal grew closer and closer
to the summit, via the Khumbu Icefall, over the Geneva
Spur to the South Col, and up the Southeast Ridge.
In 1953 Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the
summit. Since the first successful ascent, many other
individuals have sought to be the first at various other
accomplishments on Everest, including many alternative
routes on both the north and south sides.
Italy’s
Reinhold Messner has climbed Everest twice without
oxygen,once in four days. He is also the first to solo
climb Everest, which he did in 1980. Ten years earlier,
Yuichiro Miura of Japan had been the first person to
descend the mountain on skis. In 1975, Junko Tabei, also
of Japan, was the first woman to climb Everest. The
first disabled person to attempt Everest was American
Tom Whittaker, who climbed with a prosthetic leg to
24,000 feet in 1989, 28,000 feet in 1995, and finally
reached the summit in 1998. The first blind man to reach
the summit was Erik Weihenmayer in 2001. The record for
most ascents belongs to Sherpa Ang Rita, who has reached
the summit ten times.
Overall, more than 600 climbers
from 20 countries have climbed to the summit by various
routes from both north and south. Climbers’ ages have
ranged from nineteen years to sixty. At least 100 people
have perished, most commonly by avalanches, falls in
crevasses, cold, or the effects of thin air.
Everest
region offers varieties of trekking trails like- Everest
Base Camp Trek, Kala Pattar Trek, Gokyo-Ri Trek, Gokyo
Cho- La Pass Trek, Renjo La Pass Trek, Everest High Pass
Trek, Everest View Trek, Everest Panorama Trek, Everest
Comfort Trek, etc. Along the trail, the travelers would
experience the typical Sherpa culture in the alpine
settlements such as Lukla, Phakding, Monjo, Namche
Bazaar, Khumjung, Thame, Tangboche, etc. Being situated
at higher altitude, the region has high risk of Acute
Mountain Sickness (AMS) if due emphasis is not given for
acclimatization. If symptoms like headache, loss
appetite and vomiting are seen, one has to immediately
inform to the guide
so that he
would facilitate to take first aid treatment or take you
to the near by
health post or he will take you down to the lower
altitude. The Everest region has gained its popularity
for trekking, mountaineering, peak climbing and
expedition.
Among the
major destinations of trekking in Nepal, Everest region
stood second despite poor accessibility. It is more
expensive and difficult to get Solu Khumbu than to the
Annapurna region. One must either walk for a week or fly
to Lukla to get near Everest. The number of trekkers to
Everest has increased dramatically because of the
publicity the mountain has received from several
sources. Solu Khumbu is famous not only for its
proximity to the world’s highest mountain, Mt.Everest
(8848m.), but also for its Sherpa villages and age-old
monasteries. The primary goal of trekking in Everest
region is stepping at least the Everest Base Camp
(5340m.). Mount Everest is also known by the Tibetan
name Chomolungma (Goddess Mother of for mountain goats
(most common are the Himalayan Tahr) and if lucky, you
may chance upon the rare musk deer or the common barking
deer in the forest.
How and When
Trekking in the Everest region depends entirely on the
route that you have chosen. On the main trekking trails
to Everest Base Camp or the route to the pristine Gokyo
valley a teahouse trek is perfectly possible and the
easier choice. The trail in from Jiri is also endowed
with many conveniently located teahouses although
generally not of such high standards as those to the
north. Other trekking routes will however, almost
certainly require camping gear which means organizing
trekking staff and equipment. Contact us for full
details through email or by telephone.
When to Visit Everest Region:
The best
time to trek in this region is from October to November
and from March to May which are peak season time. At
these times, the weather is mild and generally dry,
making walking conditions ideal. The spring season
brings out the wild flowers, particularly the
rhododendrons, while the autumn season is generally good
for clear mountain views, as the air at this time is
crystal clear.Winter
treks are possible but risky particularly in late winter
as chances of snow are high and passes may be closed at
short notice as snowfall cannot be accurately predicted.
Teahouses also may be closed for the winter. The
summer/monsoon period is generally unsuitable for
trekking as the trails are slippery, leeches abundant
and mountain views are unpredictable . However, it can
be a rewarding time if these drawbacks can be tolerated,
as the wild flowers are at their best
around this time and the fact that there are fewer
tourists encountered on the trails is an added
advantage.
Hiring Staffs :
Given the
hardship of finding a guide at Lukla, you can hire one
in our office in Kathmandu before departure. The extra
cost of his airfare will outweigh the possibility of not
finding a good guide at Lukla, especially during the
peak season when it is practically impossible so contact
us to have us team up the staff for you. Porters are
always available at Lukla.
Jiri to
Lukla: Contact our Nepal trekking staffs and we will
take you through the Everest trek from Jiri if you wish
to follow the footsteps of Tenzing and Hillary. This is
a much longer trek compared to the one that starts from
Lukla. Jiri, an idyllic hill station east of
Kathmandu
can be reached by local bus from the capital in 8-10
hours.The trek from Jiri to Lukla takes an average of
seven days and is a good means of preparing for the
Everest Base Camp trek. The highest elevation reached
before Lukla is Lamjura pass (3,530 m). The trek passes
through parts of Solukhumbu district that enables
trekkers to observe the traditions and customs of the
Himalayan region. The trail is well served with good
teahouses and campsites. The stopovers along the trail
are likely to be at the villages of Deurali, Kenja, Sete,
Lamjura, Junbesi, Tragsindho, Khari Khola and Surkhe. |
