1. Everest Base Camp
Everest base camp is located at an altitude of 5300 meters above mean sea level. It lies in Nepal's Khumbu region which is part of the Himalayan Mountains and has an area of 17.8 km². This place was selected as the starting point of the first modern-day ascent of Mt. Everest on May 1st 1953.
2. Mount Everest
Mount Everest (also spelled Sagarmāthā) is the world's highest peak, standing 8.848 km (5.478 mi) high from its base to the top. It is situated on the border between Nepal and China. Mount Everest is considered sacred by Buddhists and Hindus alike, due to its association with the gods Shiva and Vishnu.
3. Thyangboche Monastery
Thyangboche monastery is a Buddhist monastery that lies within the Khumbu region of the Himalayas, near Everest Base Camp in Nepal. It is one of the largest monasteries in the Khumbu Valley. The temple complex was founded around 1692 and holds many ancient statues.
1. SAGARMATHA MOUNTAIN IN NEPAL (NEPAL)
This picture was taken from the Himalayan range in Nepal. This place is famous with its beautiful and stunning views. Unfortunately, I stayed at this hotel called 'The Mallick' in Kathmandu. I can't even describe how terrible it is, sorry. My room was dirty and had no hot water either. The breakfast was just a bad idea because they used eggs that were already dead in some cases. So if you are looking for a good hotel in kathmandu then don't stay here 😂...
2. NEPAL IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY TO VISIT!
I would definitely recommend anyone who loves nature and wants to visit a beautiful country (like me!) to go to Nepal. I have been many times before and each time i am amazed by the beauty of this amazing country! The people are super friendly too 🙏🏻
3. THE BEST WAY TO GET AROUND IS BY BICYCLE
There are different ways to get around in Nepal. Some people like to use motorbikes since they are cheaper than a taxi but I find them really uncomfortable. Another way is to rent a bicycle or scooter. They are not only cheap but they are also practical.
1. Mount Everest (Everest)
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world and has been since 1953. It is located in Nepal, and was discovered by George Mallory in 1922. On May 29th 2016, after over 90 years of searching, mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer finally reached the top of Mount Everest. He became the first person ever to do this without supplemental oxygen and he did it at age 51! This feat was no easy task for him, though, as he had lost hearing in his right ear due to frostbite earlier that year; he needed to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to the summit!
2. Manaslu
Manaslu is the tallest mountain in Nepal, and the 6th-highest mountain in the world. In 2003, it was officially named number 1 mountain in the world. Manaslu stands tall at 8,163 metres above sea level and weighs in at about 22 million tons. This makes it the heaviest mountain in the Himalayas – heavier than Mount Everest. The mountain is home to a beautiful lake called Pangboche, and its peak offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
3. Lhotse
Lhotse is the 5th-tallest mountain in the world and the 4th tallest in the Nepali Himalayas. It's name means Eye Mountain. At 27 km long, it is longer than the state of Connecticut in the United States. Lhotse was first climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, although they were not alone in reaching the summit. Lhotse's peak is covered in ice for nearly 9 months out of the year. You need special equipment to climb the mountain, but you can take a small hike through the Khumbu Icefall to get to the base camp.
1. Erosion
The Himalayan Mountains are some of the highest mountains on Earth. They have been shaped over millions of years of tectonic movement and weathering through wind erosion. Their peaks have been worn down by wind action, forming deep valleys and cliffs. In this way they have become home to many spectacular natural features.
2. Glaciers
Glaciers are large masses of ice that move across land surfaces near their edges. When they reach solid ground, they can flow at speeds of up to 2-5 meters per day. They begin as snow accumulations on high elevation slopes and then slowly melt away. A glacier forms when precipitation exceeds evaporation, causing water to accumulate into thick layers of snow. Over time, these layers build up and compact together, becoming thicker and heavier until they literally force themselves out from under the weight of accumulated snow. This causes them to break off of their parent slope and start moving downhill toward lower elevations. As glaciers travel, they may pick up debris along the way, including rocks, dirt, sand, trees, plants and animals!
3. Ice caves
Ice caves form when winds blow over shallow lakes containing lots of fresh water. Water vapor collects underneath the surface of the lake as supercooled droplets of liquid water. If enough of those droplets freeze, then eventually a glacier will form. Eventually, the pressure becomes great enough that the frozen drops explode outwards from the center of the mass, creating caverns. These caverns are called ice caves.
