Everest View Trek is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the Khumbu region of Nepal that is suitable for every traveler regardless of any age limits. Those who are novice travelers and are eager to have a dream to see Mt. Everest within a week of holidays in Nepal, choose this trek.
Along with Mt. Everest, other 8000m peaks and dozens of other peaks can be seen throughout the trek. Covering 51 km / 31.6 miles in a total walking distance ( from Lukla to Lukla), it is the best trek for people who don’t want to go for a trek up to 5,340 meters above sea level and explore the EBC, they can choose a much simpler trek. And that trek is our Everest View Trek.
Throughout the trek, trekkers will explore almost every aspect of the Khumbu region from the friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages, a great variety of cultures and traditions, colorful festivals and monasteries of this region, and so on that provide the lifetime memory to the visitors. Short Everest view trek can quickly be completed with moderate physical fitness as the highest altitude of this trekking trail is only 3,962m, the Everest View Hotel.
