Name[edit]

Gorakshep or Gorak shep? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RJFJR (talkcontribs) 22:07, July 20, 2006

Hard to say for certain. As with many locations in Nepal (or so it seems to a Westerner as myself), several variations exist. Which is the official one can be hard to confirm. RedWolf 21:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following publications/maps use "Gorak Shep": Trekking in the Everest Region, Trekking Map Khumbu by Shangri-la Maps, National Geopgraphic adventuremap Everst Base Camp. Steve Pastor (talk) 00:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
