Rebuilding the Trail to the Mount Everest Summit
The 2015 earthquake devastated Nepal. The Khumbu region was hit hard. But the Sherpas rebuilt. Trekking to Everest Base Camp today is safe and shows the incredible resilience of the community.
Many damaged teahouses were rebuilt from scratch using modern, earthquake-resistant engineering. The accommodation on the Everest expedition route is actually better now than it was before 2015.
The trails were widened and reinforced. New suspension bridges were installed. The infrastructure for Everest trekking is solid, safer, and ready for visitors.
You will see memorials and some ruins, but the spirit is optimistic. Visiting now supports the ongoing economic recovery. Your Mount Everest expedition helps the community thrive.
The scars have healed. The mountains are as beautiful as ever, and the welcome is warmer than before.
