With eight of the world's highest peaks, Nepal is loaded with spectacular mountain vistas. The name "Everest" is magic in itself. Mt. EVEREST (8848m.) is called "SAGARMATHA" in Nepali-"Higher than the sky" and "CHHOMOLUNGMA" in Tibetan-"Mother Goddess of the Earth". The quickest and easiest way to reach this region is by flight to Lukla at 2853m. The SoluKhumbu region has sweeping glaciers, magnificent mountains, windswept forests, animals, birds, and monasteries and is the home of the world famous Sherpa people. The flora and fauna are rest of other ornaments of the Sagarmatha national park, but the existence of the Yeti remains mysterious.
