Khumbu region of Nepal is well known as the home to the tallest mountain on earth, Mount Everest. Although, what most people don’t know is that this region has many other stunning locations and a rich heritage. Google has released a set of stunning Street View maps to let us take tour of this beautiful region in the comfort of our home.
“Partnering with Google Maps allowed us to get important local landmarks on the map and share a richer view of Khumbu with the world, including local monasteries, lodges, schools and more, with some yaks along the way! My hope is that when people see this imagery online, they’ll have a deeper understanding of the region and the Sherpa people that live there,” said Apa Sherpa, a Sherpa mountaineer who holds the world record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest 21 times.
