Some call it the roof of the world and, as such, the area closest to the stars. In the Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal, the frozen mountains of the Himalayas and Everest cut out the night sky like giants that help the stars not to get lost in the cosmos.
Sagarmatha National Park, one of the many territories in the Himalayas that is reserved for the unmatched darkness of its skies, offers an awe-inspiring star spectacle. Sagarmatha, which in Nepalese translates as "Front in the Sky", locates its protected space in the Solu-Khumbu district. This Nepalese national park contains part of the Himalayas and the southern half of Mount Everest.
