Khumbu trip planner

Khumbu remains best known as the region that contains the world's tallest peak, Mount Everest. The area represents a dream of mountain climbers from across the globe, but you don't have to climb to the roof of the world to appreciate Khumbu's natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. The friendly Sherpas lead courageous treks and impart their intimate knowledge of the landscape and wildlife to visitors seeking experiences at high--and lower--altitudes. A Khumbu itinerary includes treks through the mountains to the region's numerous villages, probably seeing some mountain goats and danfes--the national bird--along the way. Refuel with local specialties like riki-kur (potato pancakes), tzen (a spiced pate made from millet), and yak cheese. Make your own Khumbu vacation itinerary, with a little help from those that know the place like the back of their hands, by using our Nepal road trip planning website.
