About Sagarmatha Zone

Sagarmatha Zone was a very diverse area. It had tall mountains, including the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. The northern part of the zone was home to these huge mountains.

In the middle, there were rolling hills. These areas were often covered in forests and had many small villages. The southern part of the zone was flat land called the Terai. This area was good for farming.
