Short Everest View Trek

Tour Overview

Tour Description

Everest View Trek is for those enthusiasts who wishes to see Mount Everest without the Slog. Furthermore, without having to tackle with fear of AIMS or relentless strenuous walks. Not everyone can climb 5000 meters above the sea level to see the world’s highest mountain. However, that should not discourage one who wishes to see them.

Everest View Trek is a leisure and relaxed trek. We buy all the world’s time to not only see the mountains but also the beautiful Sherpa culture. The trek takes you to several interesting places, from monasteries to local museums. Every place you would visit during this trek is significant in its own ways. You would visit the biggest monastery in Tengboche. Also, you would visit the monastery which claims to have Yeti’s scalp. Furthermore, you would also visit unique sherpa villages. While in the village, you will also accommodate in their homes. You will experience sherpa life, meal and as well culture.

On Everest view Trek, you walk through villages mixing with forest of Rhododendron and Pine. Often we would encounter Himalayan Tahr grazing on the slopes. Also, the spotting of colorful Impeyan pheasant at its own is magnificent. The most interesting part of the trip is in the village of Khumjung, which is by the Khumbila mountain. A very recognized and large village which is famous as the home of world record holder Appa Sherpa. The Sherpa who successfully climbed the Everest for 21 times. Khumbila is also home of Tenzing Norgay who was the first person to be on the summit of the Everest from Nepal.

The 200km flight to the northeast region of Nepal is a majestic experience but the best view is offered to the one’s seated on the left side of the aircraft. After landing on a 465 meter runway, we immediately retrieve our belongings and head towards the north to the village of Phakding.  We make our way through the school built by Sir. Edmund Hillary in Kyangma, and further through the community forest, chortens, prayer walls, mani and finally through rustic suspension bridge, until we reach Phakding.

Note: If we're in Manthali, we'll catch a flight to Lukla and begin our trek from Lukla to Phakding.

Today we begin early as usual to cover a distance of 1000m in ascent and in 5-6 hours, after we fuel ourselves with highland breakfast. We start on the trail along raging Dudh Koshi river and make our first sheer uphill walk to Toktok, where awaits the beautiful view of Thamserku. We walk through villages intermingling with beautiful forest of Rhododendron, fir, magnolia and Pine. The final ascent to Namche as well is challenging, whereas you may feel the first symptoms of altitude kicking in.

We begin uphill from Namche and leave behind the regular trail that leads to the Everest base camp. We climb all the way up to reach Syangboche airstrip – the highest elevated non commercial airport in the Everest region. Right above the airport we can see beautifully crafted luxurious hotel, build with all amenities and offering great views of surrounding mountains. Furthermore, we climb up beyond the pine forest until the opening of Khumjung. Comparatively Khumjung is a large village and offers close views of Kongde Ri and Thamserku. To add up, a sacred peak namely Khumbila rises above the grounds of Khumjung. This village is significant in many ways - one it homes the monastery which houses and preserves a so called yeti scalp, second it has a school which was made by the pioneer mountaineer Sir. Edmund Hillary, third the famous mountaineers Appa Sherpa and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa belong to the village. This village is a quite a place to spend overnight in.

After exploring Khumjung area for a bit, we walk with very slowly towards Tengboche from Khumjung. Tengboche is around 70 meters higher than Khumjung, but it takes around 2 hours if we walk with pace and around 3 hours if we relax, explore and walk. Initially we descend down to Dudh Koshi and cross it via a rustic suspension bridge to reach our lunch stopover. We have our lunch and make a final ascent to Tengboche monastery. Since we walk for few hours and the monastery opens only after 3:00 pm, we will explore the Tengboche monastery from the inside. The view of the mountains from the monastery as well is worth appreciation. We spend overnight in Tengboche.

Immediately after Tengboche , we take steep ascend through the forest of Rhododendron, fir and Pine. The trail is steep and bends are pretty often but on this section of road keep you eyes open for Himalayan goat and lovely pheasant.The forest is as well known to inhabit snow leopards but never has been spotted by any of our members or guests. Once we reach Namche we would have enough time to relax and chat over coffee and bakery. Moreover, its pleasant to access the internet at the eatery. After brief moment in Namche we head further down towards Monjo. We cross the Dudh Koshi river twice, over the suspension bridge, at two different locations. Just befor Monjo we exit Sagarmatha national park. Overnight in Monjo.

Monjo is relatively quiet and close to Lukla and prevents us as well as porters and guides from rushing to Lukla. The trail that leads from Monjo to lukla is basically downhill but long enough to take 4-6 hours, depending on our speed. Once we reach lukla your trekking leader will reconfirm your flight to Kathmandu for the next day. Travellers spend rest of the day Chatting, drinking beer in the local bars and sharing experience with other travellers. Its very fascinating to see travellers who have finished the trek trying to assist the travellers getting ready with all their queries and pre jitters.
