Everest Base Camp is
Asia's first tourist destinations
Venture Magazine published by a UK Based Kumuka
Worldwide, a leading company specialising in
worldwide
adventure tours for more than 23 years has enlisted
Everest Base Camp (EBC) of Nepal in top of their list of
Asia's First 11 tourist destinations. EBC, Nepal,
precedes other destinations such as Lhasa(Tibet). The
Taj Mahal(India), Kettuvalom Cruising(India), Benotta
Beach( Sri Lanka) and The Great Wall of China which are
respectively on the list in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th
spots.
Trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp, offers a unique vacation,
also Listed in UNESCO Natural World Heritage Sites, home
of Sherpa Peoples and Stunning Mountain Views, the
region boasts some of the most extraordinary high
mountain scenery on earth.
Venture Magazine writes about Everest Base Camp,
"Trekking to Everest isn't just for mountaineers: the
fit will find it a life-changing experience. Kumuka's
'Base Camp Trek' puts the world's greatest mountain in
perspective, exploring Kathmandu and taking the time to
meander through the Sherpa people's homeland, with
porters to take the strain of heavy luggage and simple,
atmospheric tea-house accommodation. Three weeks on the
'Roof of the World' finishes all-too-quickly, with a
spectacular flight from Lukla.
Commenting on Asia's first 11, the Venture Magazine
says," Asia has a wealth of riches, among them the
world's highest mountains, the oldest civilizations and
an unsurpassed biodiversity. From such abundance we have
picked a team of attractions that should make it on
every traveller's wishlist. We cn take you to all of
them. But how many have you seen?"
Venture Magazine was distributed in Daily Telegraph
Adventure Travel Show (ATS) held in Olympia, London from
12 to 14th January 2007.
