Trip Highlights

The moments that matter most

The Everest View Trek takes you to the famous Tengboche Monastery, one of the most significant and picturesque monasteries in the Everest region. It offers stunning views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and other surrounding peaks. Exploring the monastery, witnessing the daily rituals of the monks, and soaking in the serene atmosphere are truly remarkable experiences.

The trek includes a visit to Khumjung Village, a traditional Sherpa settlement that showcases the way of life and the rich cultural hospitality of the Sherpa people. You can interact with friendly locals, visit the Khumjung Hillary School (established by Sir Edmund Hillary), and explore the village’s quaint streets and stone houses.

The Everest View Hotel is one of the highest-located hotels in the world, situated at an altitude of 3,880 m (12,730 ft). It offers breathtaking panoramic views of Everest and surrounding peaks, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee while marveling at the majestic Himalayas. The Everest View Hotel offers a unique vantage point and a memorable experience for trekkers seeking a close-up view of Everest without venturing further into high-altitude terrain.

Trip Overview

A closer look

If you dream of savoring the world’s most coveted mountain, Mt. Everest, but wish to do so with shorter walking days, the Everest View Trek is an ideal choice. This trip is planned so that trekkers of almost any age can enjoy it easily. The walking hours are short, and within about 5 hours you can reach Phakding. The trek takes you to the Everest region of Nepal, offering beautiful views of Mt. Everest and its neighboring mountains. Learn about Sherpa culture in just a few days while you trek through Sagarmatha National Park.

Like other treks in the Everest region, start your trip with a scenic mountain flight from Kathmandu that offers jaw-dropping scenery of Himalayan peaks, green rolling hills, and valleys, ending with a dramatic landing at Lukla. Enjoy the scenic vistas of the Everest Himalayas and watch the sunrise from the Everest View Hotel.
