Treking in the Solo Khumbu Region. /Version polish and english/

This is a compilation of video clips and pictures from a 10 day trek in the Solo Khumbu Region of Nepal and is the gateway to the Sherpa culture and Mt. Everest. /April 2006/


Solo Khumbu or Everest region.
The Khumbu or Everest region is one of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal. The Solo Khumbu area is famous because of its proximity to Mount Everest, but it is also the home of the Sherpas -- the famed mountain people of Nepal. Getting into the Khumbu region, however, takes a lot of effort. One must either walk for 10 days or fly to Lukla, a remote mountain airstrip where flights are notoriously unreliable. Lukla is located at an altitude of 2,850 m (9350 ft) and the area to the north of Lukla is called the Khumbu region. The half-hour flight from Kathmandu can be a spectacular experience, passing close to some of the highest mountain peaks in the world. However, these flights are rather unreliable due to the weather conditions in the mountains.
Namche Bazar
Namche Bazar is a village lying at the junction of the Dudh Koshi and a lateral valley that leads to the frontier pass of Nangpa La (18,000 ft). It is tucked away in a "bowl" at a height of 7,845 ft.
Namche Bazar is the major regional trading center, and contains the headquarters of the Sagarmatha National Park.
Thyangboche
The monastery at Thyangboche (or Tengboche) is one of the famous gompas in Nepal. It is one of the most important centers of Buddhism in the region. The largest gompa in the Khumbu region, it was built in 1923. It was destroyed due to a fire in 1989 and has been carefully rebuilt partly with foreign aid and volunteers. From Thyangboche, one gets a panoramic view of the Himalayan giants Kwangde, Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Amadablam, Kangtenga, and Thamserku.

Solo Khumbu albo region Everestu.
Jest to jeden z najbardziej popularnych regionów trekingowych w Nepalu. Solo Khumbu region jest sławny m.in. dlatego , że to region gdzie jest Mt. Everest , ale także dom Sherpów , górskiego ludu żyjącego w Wysokich Górach w Nepalu. Sława tego ludu juz dawno wykroczyła poza granice Nepalu , dziś są znani na całym świecie , a zaczęło się to od pierwszego zdobywcy Everestu - Tenzing Norgay'a /bo to właśnie on, a nie
Edmund Hillary był tym pierwszym człowiekiem , który zdobył szczyt Góry Gór.. w czasie wyprawy w maju 1953r.. no oczywiście na chwile zapominamy o sprawie Malorego , ponieważ nie ma jasnych dowodów czy zdobył czy też nie zdobył Everestu/ więcej o najsławniejszym Sherpie zobaczysz czytając post : http://everestmydream.blogspot.com/2007/10/tenzing-norgay-most-famous-sherpa.html

    Mountaineering is my hobby and profession of walking, hiking, trekking and climbing up mountains. It is also sometimes known as alpinism, particularly in Europe.
