In 1986, with the financial support of the American Mountain and Heritage Foundation, small hydro power plants were built to provide electricity to the Tawboche Gumba Tawas and the hotels and lodges around the Gumba. However, on January 19, 1989, the Tengboche Gumba, which has immense religious and cultural heritage in Nepal, was reduced to ashes when a fire broke out due to an electrical short.

Another important and thrilling, thrilling head of this tomb is this. There is a legend that it is found in high mountainous areas. It is said that so much has disappeared from the world. Anyway, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. There is a legend that what a person does in the afternoon, he sees from somewhere and does so in his absence. To date, no one has been able to take so many photos. It is limited to the Sherpa story and has become a subject of research for anthropology students. According to the high mountain chauri and yak herdsmen, such footprints were seen in the snow and sand 10-15 years ago. It is said that the roar of the mountain was heard from afar. Whatever is so rare, it is not only difficult but also impossible to prove.
From 1957 to 1959, a group of American researchers visited the area with photo cameras, telescopes, and traps. But based on what he has seen in the past (who claim to have seen it with his own eyes), he has black and gray hair on his head, with hair all over his body and about 3 meters in height, his body looks ugly, his face is black and his hip hair is raised. The gloves of the hands are like those of a chimpanzee and the feet are flexible. If the male has such long hair, it is believed that the milk of the female has fallen down. It has such a sharp and sharp intellect. The nose has the power to smell. Fear of fire and sensual nature.
It is claimed that foreign tourists first saw such a footprint in 1921 in Solukhumbu district. According to Sherpa culture, this is an ominous sign. The life of those who see so much is short.

The world's highest wetlands:
Wetlands are called wetlands in English. Wetlands covered with water up to 6 meters deep, swampy land, lakes, ponds, lakes, dahs, ponds, river serofero, slopes, silt, etc. are all covered by the definition of wetland in Nepal. The famous conservationist. According to Tirtha Bahadur Shrestha's definition, 'wetland' is a land where water does not dry up and a water area where land is not hidden. Nepal's National Policy 2059 also defines wetland as a swampy area made up of frozen or flowing water, permanent or temporary, natural or artificial. Like the kidneys in our body, the wetland on the earth purifies the water and keeps the water flowing. Due to wetland, our major sources of drinking water such as lakes, glaciers, streams, rivers, springs and groundwater are becoming clean and vibrant. In addition, wetland areas are considered important from ecological, economic, cultural and recreational aspects such as flood control, soil erosion control, biodiversity habitat, recreation and culture conservation.
The Gokyo Lake range in the Khumjung Village Development Committee of Solukhumbu, a mountainous district in Nepal, is considered to be one of the most important wetlands in the highlands of Nepal. The Gokyo Lake range is within the World Heritage-listed Everest National Park. The six lakes in the range are stretching from 4,700 to 5,400 meters above sea level. Known as the longest glacier in Nepal, the Ngozomba Glacier stretches parallel to these lakes. Water from the Ngozomba Glacier and small rivers from the mountains are the main sources of these lakes.
The third of the six lakes in the Gokyo Lake series is known as Gokyo Lake. It is also known as Gokyo Cho, Dudh Daha etc. Gokio Lake, spread over an area of about 43 hectares, is the deepest lake in the range. Lake Gokyo is also the most important lake in the range from a religious, cultural and tourist point of view. The lake and its surroundings are sacred sites of religious and cultural significance to both Buddhists and Hindus. The temple of Lord Shiva and Vishnu built next to the lake reflects the deep religious faith and reverence towards the lake. Also, the tradition of worshiping the lake as the abode of the snake god has further confirmed the religious reverence towards this lake.
Of the lakes in the Gokyo range, there is no direct correlation between Gokyo IV, V and VI. But Gokyo comes from the third to the second and from the second to the first. Gokyo is the last drain of water from the first. The water released in this way combines with the water from the Ngozomba Glacier to form the Dudhkoshi River. The Dudhkoshi River flows down from there and joins the Imjakhola, Bhotekoshi and finally Saptakoshi rivers. And after reaching Saptakoshi river in India, it merges with Ganga river. In this way, the Dudhkoshi river flowing from the highlands is considered to be one of the headwaters of the holy river Ganga. The river has been providing clean water as well as many other services to the people living in the lowlands and other animals during its journey.
The Gokyo Lake range is considered to be the confluence of various species of biodiversity found in the highlands. There are more than 80 species of flowering plants in the region, of which four are native plants. The lake also contains a variety of migratory and native birds. The area is home to snow leopards, dead musk deer, and weasels. That is why the Gokyo region is also called the 'hot-spot' of biodiversity.
The Gokyo Valley is famous not only for its beautiful lakes but also for its views of the world's highest peaks, mountaineering, wildlife and bird watching. Known as 'Gokyo Ri' at the top of Gokyo Lake, the Gokyo Lake Range and Mount Everest can be seen from a high place, so tourists visiting the Gokyo River also climb Gokyo Ri. About one-third of the world's major tourist destination, Nepal's Mount Everest National Park, is visited by tourists. According to a statistic, about 8,000 tourists and about 12,000 people, including his associates, visit here annually. Due to this, Gokyo Valley has become a famous trekking destination in Everest National Park.
In this Gokyo Lake area, which is under a lot of tourist pressure, the destruction of the environment has increased along with the increase in the number of tourists. In this region, environmental problems such as deforestation, overgrazing, pollution and garbage problems, soil erosion, encroachment of lakes, global warming and melting of snow have gradually emerged. The Himalayan region is considered as an indicator of climate change. The Gokyo area can be taken as a vivid example of this. The amount of water in Gokyo IV and V is decreasing. This further confirms the impact of global warming. The Ngozomba Glacier, which stretches parallel to this lake range and is considered to be very active, is also melting rapidly. According to locals, the Ngozomba Glacier has risen about 10 meters toward Gokyo Lake over the past 25 years. It can be seen that the lake is being filled with soil, sand and gravel.
The convention, held on February 2, 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar, is called the Ramsar Convention, aimed at conserving wetlands of international importance, especially water duck habitat. The Ramsar Bureau declares the world's wetland to be the most unique and most important wetland in the world. The vision of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as the custodian of the Ramsar Convention is to increase international cooperation at the local, regional and national levels and to encourage the sustainable use of wetland globally.
Nepal has been a member of the Ramsar Convention since 1987. Wetland member states must declare at least one area in their country a Ramsar area. Similarly, Nepal included Koshitappu Wildlife Sanctuary in the Ramsar list in the same year. In 2003, three other wetland areas in the Terai region of Nepal, 20,000 lakes in Chitwan district, Jagdishpur reservoir in Kapilvastu district and Ghoda Ghodi Lake in Kailali district were included in the Ramsar list. Listed. Similarly, on September 23, 2007, on the recommendation of the Government of Nepal, the Ramsar Bureau listed four wetlands in the Himalayan region of Nepal, Gokyo Lake Range, Gosaikunda Lake Group, Rara Lake and Foksundo Lake in the Ramsar List. Listed in the list. Known as one of the Ramsar wetlands of Nepal, Gokyo wetland is considered as one of the unique natural resources of the world due to its importance.
The Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, Government of Nepal, Sagarmatha National Park, and its long-term management approach to the conservation of Gokyo Ramsar have developed a management plan with recommendations for implementation in about 10 areas. And which has also been approved by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation.
Worldwide active in conservation, an international non-governmental organization, W.W. Various programs have been conducted with the objective of long-term management of Gokyo Lake Range with the participation of Efles, Everest National Park and locals. W.W. Under F's initiative, the residents have formed an 'Gokyo Lake Management Group' and are actively involved in the conservation of Gokyo Lake.
The weakening lakes and the expanding area of the Ngomba Glacier have become alarm bells. Despite local and national efforts to conserve the lake, global warming has caused the Ngozumba Glacier to melt rapidly and the distance between the glacier and the Gokyo Lake range has become increasingly dangerous. It is not possible only through national efforts.
The world's highest mountain Ramsar, a reservoir of clean water resources, the Gokio Lake range is also a common property and heritage of existence. Gokyo Lake and the management of the area does not seem to be possible by the single effort of any individual or organization. Today's need is to keep alive the beauty of the Gokyo Lake range, which has been listed in the Ramsar List by the world community.
Cholapas:
The Chola Pass in Khumjung of Solukhumbu, a tourist area of Nepal, is becoming dangerous due to lack of infrastructure. Foreigners have lost their lives due to lack of arrow board in this pass which has been covered with snow for 12 months. The Chola Pass, which attracts a large number of tourists and kills tourists every year, is becoming more and more dangerous due to lack of infrastructure.
The Chola Pass, which has to be crossed on the way to the base camp of Everest after completing the visit to Gokyo Lake, a famous tourist spot of Solukhumbu, is becoming dangerous due to lack of infrastructure. At an altitude of 5,420 meters above sea level, the Chola Pass, considered dangerous in Solukhumbu, is becoming dangerous day by day due to lack of good roads.
There is no sign of a road in Chola Pass, which has been covered with snow for 12 months.
Due to this, some foreign nationals who walk alone while crossing the Chola Pass are lost every year. The road at Cholapas, also known as the Adventure Tourist Trail, has been lost due to snow or snowmelt.
When crossing the Chola Pass, you have to walk past the mounds in different places. It is very challenging to walk on the awkward road covered with snow for more than half an hour. Trekking professionals say that this pass is considered dangerous not only in Chola Pass but also after crossing Chola Pass.
Those who want to see the Gokyo Lake and other areas after crossing the Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar must cross the Chola Pass. According to the trekking businessman, arrangements should be made to hang iron poles and ropes in places to solve the problem of tourists.
Khumbu Glacier:
The Khumbu Glacier is located in the northeastern region of Nepal, between Everest and Lotse Nuptse Mountains. It starts at 4,900 meters (16,100 feet) and ends at 7,600 meters (24,900 feet). It is the highest glacier in the world. The mouth of the glacier is near Western Cwm Everest.
The Snow River is a river of snow. The snow that accumulates in the Himalayas gradually moves towards the low surface and is called glacier. The flow of glaciers is not as fast as that of rivers but very slow. Glaciers flow at a speed of 1 meter to 20 meters per day. Khumbu Glacier is considered to be the highest glacier in the world.

From Goresep to 5,600 meters altitude towards the black stone or towards the base camp. The relationship between Kalapathar and Everest is more like a courtyard and an axis than a base camp. Everyone who casts their eyes upon it, wants a go. The mountain scenery seen from Kalapathar is more enjoyable to experience than to mention in words. At Everest Base Camp, all hikers and hikers must stay in tents. It is best to go to the base camp only after arranging sleeping bags and tents.
