Everest. Named after Sir George Everest, the British Surveyor General of India at the time when the mountain was first identified as ‘Point XV’ on the border with Nepal and Tibet. To the Sherpas and Tibetans however she is ‘Chomolungma’ - Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the Nepalese have their own name, ‘Sagarmartha’. But there is no dispute about the mountain - the highest in the world.

Up until recently if you wanted to get close to Everest then you either had to trek with a full Sherpa crew, sleeping in tents, or trek using fairly basic tea house lodges. However, now there is a more comfortable option and we use the most comfortable Lodges available in the region that have recently been built.

The scenery of the region is stunning and you will find yourself surrounded by the Himalayan giants, including of course views of Everest.
