Tour Details

Everest View Trek is the perfect option for appreciating the magnificence of Mount Everest (8848m) with a less strenuous trekking experience. Along with the mighty Everest, the trek also offers breathtaking views of other snow-capped peaks including Lhotse (8516m), Nuptse (7864m), Ama Dablam (6814 m), Thamserku (6618m), Taboche (6495m) and more!

You’ll fly from Kathmandu to the famous Lukla airport, trek to Phakding and then on to the trade hub of Everest region – Namche Bazaar where you’ll acclimatize for a day. You’ll visit the famous ancient Tengboche Monastery and get acquainted with Tibetan Buddhist culture that is prevalent in this region. The trek also gives a great perception of the culture and lifestyle of Sherpa people in Khumjung and Khumde villages. Along with glorious mountain views and indigenous Sherpa culture, you will experience the wild mountainous landscapes, beautiful rhododendron forests, high suspension bridges, basic yet adequate accommodation in teahouses and an escape into rural serenity.

The trek can be done either independently or with a group, and spring and autumn are the best seasons. If you have only limited time but would like to get close to the highest mountains in the world, and at the same time, get an insight into the lifestyle of the mountain people, book the Everest View Trek with us!
