Khumbu valley trekking is the homeland of much traditional Sherpa culture including the world highest mountain Mount Everest. Every field is surrounded by a meter high stone wall providing vistas on all sides. Every single roof is green with a concept of establishing a green valley except for the roof of the Gompa, school, and hospital.

The Park protects high mountain ecosystems plants and wildlife from the valley bottom at 8500 ft to the icy summits of most of the highest mountains in the world at over 28000 ft. The Sagarmatha National Park is considered by too many because the study of historical and contemporary landscape changes most of it negative in the high Himalayas.

Farming isn’t easy on these mountains but all including businessmen own plots of land on which they grow potatoes buckwheat or barley to feed their families. Most fields for cultivating food crops are at relatively lower elevations of about 3300 m near the main Sherpa village during the cool winter herds of yaks are grazed on nearby hillsides when the summer comes the yaks are taken up to the high valley where the rains have to change the dry mountainsides to rich green pastures.

Khumbu valley trekking can observe the main festival of Dumje celebrate in each village at the beginning of the monsoon in late June or early July Dumje began as a way to unite the newly settled village after the Sherpa’s arrived in Khumbu.
