Solukhumbu region in the northeastern part of Nepal is the abode of the highest peak in the world - Mt. Everest and the famous Sherpas. However, while the Khumbu region is famous for the world's highest mountain, the southern part i.e. Solu is famous for its biological diversity, virgin landscape and mountain vistas.

Solukhumbu has many exciting attractions in the southern region that are yet to be explored, such as the treks on the Dudhkunda Cultural Trails. The Dudhkunda Lake is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva. The devotees believe that taking a dip into the icy cold lake will absolve them from all their sins and bless childless families with children. Amazing views of flora and fauna, experience of diverse cultures of Sherpas, Khaling Rais, Tamangs, Magars, Gurungs, make this journey a lifetime experience. This is a journey to a part of the world where very few people have set foot until now, a cultural journey for young to old and for all.
