Tour Description
Luxury Short Everest View Trek is for those enthusiasts who wish 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 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 be accommodated in their homes. You will experience sherpa life, meals and as well culture.

Also, the spotting of colorful Impeyan pheasant on 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 Everest 21 times. Khumbila is also home of Tenzing Norgay who was the first person to be on the summit of Everest from Nepal.
