Golden sunset in Gorakshep

#holidayseason Gorak Shep is a village near a frozen lake at an altitude of 5164 meters above sea level, not far from Everest. It is located in the Solukhumbu district of Eastern Nepal. The altitude above 5000 m means that the air is thinner and the senses are carried away. The scenery is breathtaking and there are many possibilities for excursions. In Sherpa language, Gorakshep means dead crow, because the terrain is not suitable for farming or agriculture. Therefore, the residents here are engaged in serving tourists and climbers as porters or guides. Gorak Shep is the last permanent settlement on the way to Everest Base Camp. Gorakshep has mountain shelters for porters and climbers and a high-altitude hotel. At this altitude, few people feel comfortable and many suffer from symptoms of altitude sickness. The best months for mountain hiking in this area are spring (March-April) and autumn (October-November). During these seasons, the views of the highest peaks are perfect and the temperatures are not too low. In winter (April-November), you can also go hiking; but most of the mountain lodges and hotels are closed, the trails are covered with snow and can be icy. Despite the remoteness, few tea houses and lodges have WIFI connection, and NCELL XNUMXG network is also available for better internet connection. There is also a project for the production and use of biogas. The territory of the dry lake is used to bury waste brought by the Sherpas from Everest. #awesomepic#couplestrip
