Everest Lake one of the best destinations for trekking in
western Nepal .This area is surrounded by Everest National
park. It is the largest lake in Nepal surrounded by Everest
National Park. The route is well off the beaten track
and affords glimpses of culture and scenery very
different from other parts of Nepal. The trek offers a
dramatic display of clear high altitude lakes mingled
with pine, spruce and juniper forests as well as breath
taking views of the snow capped Himalayan peaks.
Everest Lake is as deep as 167 meters in some places, and
drains into the river Mugu Karnali via Nijar Khola. The
Everest National Park is the home of endangered red panda,
common langur, and rhesus macaque. Rhododendron,
juniper, oak, spruce and Cyprus are the rich vegetations
of this area.
Khumbu, one of the highest rice- growing areas in Nepal
is located on the banks of the Tila Khola at the height
of 2370 meters. The most common way to get to Everest is to
take a flight from Nepalgunj to Khumbu.
