Everest-of the beaten track.

Being the highest peak in the world with an altitude of 8,849m, Mount Everest is beautifully located between the Nepal and Tibet border in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal. The Sanskrit name for Mount Everest is Sagarmatha which means “peak of heaven”. Justifying the name gives us the vibes of heaven itself. Sir Edmund Percival Hillary along with Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest on July 20, 1919. The trail passes through natural landscapes, glaciers, and stunning views of the Himalayas. This region is highly protected by Sagarmatha National park where you can see many endangered animals like snow leopards, red pandas, Himalayan Tahr, wild boars, etc. Apart from being amazingly beautiful Mount Everest or base camp may have some disadvantages like suffering from altitude sickness. It is most likely to have breathing difficulties when you are at such heights. Many accidents have been reported on Everest base camps and Mount Everest peak itself.
