Solukhumbu (Solu) Gem Of Everest Region’s

Solukhumbu (Lower Khumbu) village is is situated in the north-eastern part of Nepal. It is the fantastic collection of the highest peak in the world, Mt. Everest (8,848 m), and the famous Sherpa ethnic people and other people like Kshetri, Rai, Gurung, Magar as well. Solukhumbu is well known for its biological diversity, beautiful views, landscapes, and fabulous mountains.

While you can reach there by vehicles, for gaining the utmost beauty and adventure it is better if you trek. Trekking is south from the Lukla and away from the trekker’s crowd. This is a newly introduced trekking route, especially for the family pack. This trekking route offers you magnificent views of the high peaks lying in the region.
