Everest View Trek

When you arrive at the International airport in Kathmandu, you will be welcomed by our representative from Himalayan trekkers and help you transfer to the hotel. After resting for a while, you will join us to discuss the trek details and necessary equipment that you might need. Then, we will participate in a welcome dinner at the traditional Nepalese restaurant. After a fine meal, overnight stay at the hotel.

On this particular day, you will start with an experienced guide who will take you to the several attractions in Kathmandu with great historical or theological significance: world heritage sites of Kathmandu Durbar Square, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupati Nath, the renowned and wonderful Swoyambhunath which is also called 'Monkey Temple' and Buddhists shrine (Baudha Nath). Later, there will be a pre-trip discussion about the trekking equipment where you will also get to meet the trek leader. Overnight at the hotel.

Early in the morning, we will take a 30-minute scenic flight to Lukla (2,800m/9,186ft). This is one of the most exciting flight routes in the world on hillside encircled by huge mountain peaks. Lukla is the gateway to the destination from where our trek begins. We start our trek through the affluent village of Lukla until we reach Phakding. For accommodation, we have a short but most exciting hike. We can also have a side trip to a nearby monastery. Overnight in Phakding.

The path has many suspension bridges along the Dudh Koshi River one of which is the renowned Hillary Suspension Bridge walking through wonderful and beautiful pine forest. First, we can grasp a wonderful view of the shimmering Mt. Thamserku (6618m). Then, we reach the check post-entrance to Sagarmatha National Park and pass through the village of Jorsale. The path ascends through the forests and bridges until we reach the convergence of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers. After a final steep ascent of about two hours, we get the first glance of Mt. Everest peering over the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. From Chautara, we still need to walk about 1.5 hours to reach our destination Namche Bazaar which is the famed gateway to Mt. Everest. It is also the main trading center of this region. We stay overnight in Namche Bazaar.

This is the planned familiarization day for this trek. We either spend the day hiking to Thame or Khunde, or relaxing and exploring Namche Bazaar itself. Our guides will take you to the Tourist Visitor Center near the headquarter of the Sagarmatha National Park where you can view a variety of things related to the first Everest climbers, Sherpa culture and can learn about the various plants and animal life of the Everest region. We also take an attractive side tour up to Khumjung. We ascend to the famous airfield at Syangboche. The Khumjung valley is encircled by the snowy peaks of Ongde and Thamserku and the peak Khumbila hosts a well-known monastery that houses a Yeti scalp. We also visit Hillary School which is also located there. Overnight at the Namche Bazar.

On this day we enjoy the spectacular view of Khumbu Himalaya from the various points. Thame is the village of the renowned Sherpa climbers. This is one of the highest villages with fantastic cultures.

Khumjung is the largest Sherpa village in the Everest area. You will observe the spectacular Khumjung monastery, Edmund Hillary School, Yaks, and Sherpa farmland and their exciting culture. A visit to Syangboche will give you the most beautiful and splendid view of Everest and other Khumbu peaks.

Tengboche is the largest and one of the most renowned places for the Buddhist monastery situated on a hill above Dudh Koshi valley. The scenery from here is one of the most magnificent in the Everest area. It is a superb place to view the sunrise and sunset over Everest. You can also observe the Buddhist culture. This is the main destination of the trek.

Following the most popular routes of the Everest region, you will be heading downwards to Namche bazar for overnight stay.

Today is the last day of our trekking. On this day we walk to Lukla. You can walk freely and enjoy the natural beauty and the romantic atmosphere around.

Flights to Kathmandu are typically programmed for the morning. We fly back to Kathmandu after our long mountain voyage and move to the hotel. You may engage in recreation activities or shopping on your own. Overnight at the hotel.

This is the free day and you can use it for your shopping. In the evening we will drive to a popular restaurant for the farewell dinner with cultural dance. After the enjoyment, overnight stay at the hotel.

Our representative from Himalayan Trekkers will drop you off from the hotel to the airport. On the way, you can discuss the experience and share your feedback. Finally, it is time to leave Nepal.
