Sagarmatha National Park
 Sagarmatha National Park is best reached by flying to
Lukla with a flight time of 30 minutes and then by
chartering a plane to Syangboche. It is also possible to
trek to Sagarmatha or Everest Base Camp. Due to the
mountainous geography of Nepal, six National Parks have been
created in this incredible terrain. You will find here
rhododendron, pine, oak, alpine firs, and birch forests.
Alpine flowers blossom in the Himalayan valleys and meadows
with the backdrop of the majestic Himalayan snow clad peaks. Sagarmatha is probably the most famous due to the many
opportunities it gives trekkers and nature lovers to enjoy
great walking and spectacular views.
 Covering an area of 1148 sq. km. and extending from
Monjo-Jorsale (2800m) just below Namche Bazaar and
concluding at Sagarmatha. (Mt. Everest 8848m) this National
Park has the most spectacular mountain scenery and is well
known for its fascinating wildlife - especially the
pheasants. Danphe or Himalayan Monal can be sighted in
flocks near the
 Tyangboche Monastery. Herds of musk deer,
wild goats and sheep such as Thar and Ghoral can be seen on
the mountain slopes. Sightings of Snow Leopard are possible
- though rare. The Buddhist monasteries scattered across
this landscape perpetuate the ethereal quality of this great
wilderness.
