Nepal, Khumbu Region

The Khumbu region is the home of the Sherpa people, who have been living in these valleys and mountains for hundreds of years.

The Buddhist influence is everywhere to be seen; carved prayer stones, stupas, prayer flags, and prayer wheels adorn the trails, especially in this lower valley.

Namche is the Capital of the Khumbu and the most prominent town of the region with almost all kinds of basic facilities.

Trekking in Nepal is one of the greatest pleasures of a holiday one can imagine. Amongst the trekking areas one of the most popular regions is the  Everest area or the Khumbu Region.

Mount Everest climbers and their quides are often celebrated but what about the families they leave behind each climbing season;
