Everest Region: Page 1

 

Everest Dreams: I traveled to Nepal by myself in November, 2006.  I was lucky enough to link up with an organization called Himalayan Glacier that provided me with a guide and porter for a hike through the Everest region of the Himalayas.  I recommend them for reasons of cost and professional service to anyone traveling in the area.

 

This page shows the Nepalese culture.  The people and the culture of Nepal are as striking as its mountains.
