Sagarmatha National Park

Sagarmatha National Park encompasses 1,148 square kilometers of terrain from valleys at 2,845 meters to Mount Everest's peak at 8,848 meters elevation.

The Nepalese government established this protected area in 1976, and UNESCO designated it as a World Heritage Site in 1979 for its natural characteristics.

The Sherpa population maintains Buddhist monasteries at Tengboche, Thame, Khumjung, and Pangboche, where they celebrate religious festivals throughout the year.

Visitors require entrance permits and must register at checkpoints, with the primary access point located at Monjo village near the park boundary.

Scientists documented 219 bird species, 57 tree varieties, and two types of musk deer within the park boundaries during recent biological surveys.
