Overview

Known also as the Everest Panorama Trekking, the Everest View Trek probably is the best trekking in the Everest Region when you are short on time. Though this is a short trek to the Khumbu Region, the beauty of this trip cannot be compared to any other.  The semi-alpine vegetation, the alpine animals, the Sherpa culture, and the Tibetan influenced architecture, all calls for a great trip.

The trek starts from Lukla the same as other trekking packages of the Everest Region. Enjoy the Himalayan views while on the flight to Lukla. After you set foot at Lukla, follow an easy trail towards Phakding and then to the Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo. A hard trek sees our arrival at Namche, the trading hub of the Khumbu Region. Resting for a day doesn’t hurt, right? During the day, we’ll be in our first destination, Everest View Hotel, from where the Mahalangur Mountain Range looks supernatural. Also, let’s not forget about the photo gallery and the cultural museum at the Bazaar!

After Namche, our hike takes us to the home of the oldest monastery of the country, Tengboche. Oh and the Tengboche Monastery is also the largest monastery of the Khumbu Region. Hike back to the village of Kyangjuma instead of hiking uphill to Dingboche, which will then shower us with the heavenly landscape views of the Nuptse, Thamserku, Lhotse, and the most beautiful peak of Nepal, Ama Dablam.

To give you a slight hint of what we would find in store for us, it’s not only the Mahalangur Mountain Range, not only the alpine vegetation, not only the cultural artifacts, but also the Sherpa lifestyle and the local language.

Let’s make this trip an epic one!
