Trek the mountains of Khumbu, Nepal in Google Maps

Elia Saikaly led the video production effort in collaboration with Google Maps to document and map the Khumbu, Nepal region near Mount Everest. I find the Himalayas to be so fascinating, and exploring the geography with virtual tools is something people could take part in only recently. This video is a beautiful mosaic of the people and geography of the region.

Google Maps has a number of explorations to view at g.co/treks.

Having just discovered Elia’s website, I’m finding it a fantastic resource for learning more about the region.
