Everest View Trek Overview
Everest View Trek, also known as Everest Panorama Trek, is a carefully designed fantastic short hiking tour to the Everest region, offering a great chance to capture Nepal’s beauty, meet the friendliest and most welcoming Sherpa people, and experience unique culture and tradition in a short period. This short trek to the Everest region is an easy and small sojourn trip, modified for those visitors who wish to view Mount Everest within a short time. Nepal is a home of welcoming people, the Amazing Himalayas, and various cultural diversities. This blend of outdoor adventure and cultural exploration is a great way to experience the Himalayan Mountains—the world’s most impressive mountain range—and will surely create lasting memories and provide you with a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
Upon arriving, you can have a sightseeing day to explore the exotic city of Kathmandu before flying into the remote mountain town of Lukla, where we begin our teahouse Everest View trek into the Khumbu region, the land of Sherpas. Situated at an elevation of 2800 meters, the views of the Himalayan Mountains from Lukla on a clear day are awe-inspiring. Once there, we follow the legendary Everest Base Camp Trek route that journeys through Sherpa villages, across high mountain passes, and remote valleys. En route, we pass through so many Buddhist Prayer Walls, Manis, Chortens, Stupas, and Buddhist monasteries and begin to appreciate the unique mountain culture found in the Himalayan foothills. The views become more brilliant as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the main gateway to the Everest region, which treks at 3400 meters. We spend a night next to the Thyangboche monastery (3870 m), from where you will observe spectacular views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kangtega, Kwande Peak and many other small peaks.
If your time allows, we can drive to Chitwan to enjoy wildlife in the Chitwan National Park after the completion of the trek. Chitwan National Park is one of the finest wildlife reserves in Asia, located in the plains of Nepal, ‘Terai’. The park, with a total area of 932 km, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s the home to many animals, birds, and plant species including one horn rhino, different kinds of deer, sloth bears, leopards, tigers, crocodiles, and monkeys, as well as many different species of butterflies, insects, over 450 sorts of colorful & endangered birds, and an incredible variety of other fauna and flora. A visit to Chitwan is a must for any wildlife lover and even for leisurely travelers who wish to relax in the tranquility of the sub-tropical jungle and observe wildlife or the local culture, tradition, and way of life in Terai. Everest View Trek itinerary will be 5-7 days depending on your level of physical fitness and the time you have. Our original version itinerary has no extra day at Namche while trekking up, but you need it if you are a beginner. On that day we will trek to Everest View Hotel and retrace back to Namche after the beautiful day hike that will require one more day in the standard itinerary.

Lukla Flight Update: This alters when going to the Everest Treks
Because of high air traffic congestion in Kathmandu’s only airport that is for both international and domestic flights. CAAN (Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal) decided to continue the Lukla flight from Manthali in the Ramechhap district during the peak trekking season. This flight diverts has significantly altered the logistics for the Everest treks. To accommodate this change, we will have to adjust your departure schedule on the first day of your journey, our guide will pick you up from your accommodation around 1:00 to 2:00 AM and drive to Manthali (132 KM / 3 to 4 hours drive) to catch morning scenic flight to Lukla
