Solu Khumbu is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world's highest mountain (8848 metres), but also for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. This region offers you varieties of trekking exploration. The destinations of the trekking tour in Khumbu region are Kalapattar, Gokyo and Everest Basecamp. Regarding the scenery you can see very beautiful open view of mountains such as Thamaserku, Amadablam, Baruntse, Makalu, Everest, Lotse, Choletse, Lhotsesar and Nuptse and Pumori etc. from Gokyo. You can take pictures of those terraces from Kalapattar and Island Peak. For two weeks long trekking program, you have to set out your trekking from Lukla-a place, which can be reached by air service from Kathmandu
Other than the problem of access, the other major complication to an Everest trek is the high likelihood of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Climbing too quickly to a high elevation causes this potentially deadly disease, commonly known as altitude sickness. Be sure to read the section on mountain sickness in the Health & First Aid chapter if you are planning an Everest trek. If you suffer symptoms of altitude sickness and cannot go to base camp, you can still make a worthwhile trek to less ambitious destinations such as Namche Bazaar, the administrative headquarters of the Khumbu region; Khumjung or Thami, more typical Sherpa villages; or Tengpoche Monastery. From Tengpoche you will have an excellent view of Everest and its more spectacular neighbour Ama Dablam (6856 metres).
