The trek takes you to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, and main hub for tourists in the region, at an elevation of 3,440 meters. This trek is accessible to anyone with good health and is also suitable for beginner trekkers as an introduction to the Himalayan terrain and climate.
The 10-day itinerary for the Everest View Trek starts with a breathtaking flight to Lukla, followed by a gradual ascent through dense forests, crossing suspension bridges and streams, with opportunities to encounter various flora and fauna along the way. After spending a couple of nights in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization,(no acclimatization day) you will visit the Everest View Hotel and Syangboche Airstrip, as well as museums and souvenir shops in the village.
The trek continues to Tengboche, a small town with tea houses and the largest monastery in the Khumbu region, and the Khumjung village, where you can visit the oldest monastery in the area. Overall, the Everest View Trek provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Sherpa community and other local communities. It is an ideal trek for those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas without taking on the physical challenges of higher elevation.
