Decoding the Art of the Mount Everest Expedition Region
You will see eight specific symbols painted on doors and walls during your Everest trekking adventure. These are the 'Ashtamangala', representing the qualities of the Buddhist path toward the Mount Everest summit.
Representing the eternal flow of time and the interdependence of all things. It is a powerful symbol to contemplate while walking the long trails of your Mount Everest expedition.
Symbolizing purity rising out of the mud. Just as the trekker rises from the lowlands to the Mount Everest summit, the lotus represents spiritual growth and resilience.
The parasol offers protection from the sun, while the conch shell represents the far-reaching sound of the dharma. These symbols are part of the cultural tapestry of any Mount Everest expedition.
Understanding the art around you adds a layer of depth to your Everest trekking journey. The symbols guide you as much as your physical map toward the Mount Everest summit.
