Sagarmatha ( Nepali सगरमाथा अञ्चल Sagarmatha Anchal ) was one of the 14 former administrative zones in Nepal .

It was named after the Nepali name for the highest point, Mount Everest , and was located in the then developing region of East in eastern Nepal . The administrative zone stretched from the Indian to the Chinese border. The administrative seat was Rajbiraj .

Sagarmatha was divided into six districts:

Through the constitution of September 20, 2015 and the resulting reorganization of Nepal into provinces, the districts of this zone were divided and assigned to the newly created provinces No. 1 (Districts Khotang, Okhaldhunga, Solukhumbu and Udayapur) and No. 2 (Districts Siraha and Saptari) .
