Lumbini on the west side, Nuptse on the east, and 360 km of country between. One 45 km circle in the east takes in Nuptse, Khumbu, Kala Patthar, Sagarmatha National Park and Ama Dablam.
Count them: five easy, two medium, six hard. Machhapuchhre and Nuptse are where to concentrate. Swayambhunath is the 'Monkey Temple', a white stupa with painted eyes on a hill above Kathmandu.
