Want to trek to the Everest Region but have very limited time? We've got something that would be the most suitable option for you. The Everest View Trek is a trekking package that is regarded as one of the best short treks, one you can enjoy to the fullest.

The package is interesting as it covers all the attractive areas and highlights of the Khumbu region in a short amount of time. It consists of a nine days trek, where you'll walk along the ancient routes of the Everest region.

Apart from the trekking, the package also provides the trekkers a chance to get a deeper insight into the ethnic groups of the Everest Region- the Sherpas. The Sherpas are the groups that have the highest population in this region. They are known for their hospitable nature and also their excellent mountaineering skills. As the routes pass through their villages, you'll get to interact with the villagers and also learn about their lifestyle.

Overall, this package is amazing. With the help of our trekking guides and climbers, you'll have a fantastic time on the trek. You can join this trip and send us an inquiry so that we can guide you through the path of the Khumbu region.

Route Overview

The trek begins upon your arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport. One of our staff from the Nepal Hiking Team will greet you and escort you to the hotel. Then, you'll take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.

The hike will start from Lukla to Phakding. From phakding, you'll hike to Namche Bazaar. In Namche Bazaar, you'll take a day off for acclimatization purposes. You can hike to Everest View Hotel and get the whole day yourself on that day.

You'll hike from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche, located at 3,860m, and visit the famous Buddhist monastery, the largest monastery in Khumbu. You'll relish the spectacular panorama of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Thamserku from the monastery premises.

You'll retrace the route from Tengboche to Namche Bazaar and Lukla. After that, you'll fly back to Kathmandu and wrap up the trek.

In a nutshell, Everest View Trek is a short and easy trek in the Himalayas. Most days, you'll have to walk around four to five hours on a relatively moderate trail. It is an excellent way to indulge in authentic mountain life quickly.

Best Time

As a trekker, you need to be aware of your safety, covid protocols, and the weather conditions of the place you are traveling to. We recommend some of the best times for the Everest View Trek.

The best times for the Everest View Trek are spring and autumn. These are the favorite season of all Nepalese and hikers as well.

The spring season lies in the month of March-May. In these months, the weather is warm; the skies will be apparent, highlighting the picturesque mountain peaks. Unlike the winter and monsoon seasons, you won't face harsh cold weather or rainfall in these seasons.

Next, we suggest the autumn season in September-November. These months can be described as relaxing, clear, and breezy. Hikers can get the most out of these months, as the hike will be cool, and one can enjoy the beautiful weather and the majestic snow-capped mountains.

While considering booking for the Everest View Trek, please consider these months mentioned.

Travellers‘ Reviews

Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.

  • EBC - guide matters

    I went in with little to no training and yet completed the trek — that's how great our guide was. Ram (our guide) was well-informed, well-prepared, and overall a hoot to be with. Handling and guiding six strangers with completely different personalities is no small feat.

    The company was thorough about our comfort before, during, and after the trek, and made sure we were well taken care of.

    Frankly, I’d like to do the Annapurna Circuit next with the same company and guide, knowing I’m in safe hands.

    5/5 — wouldn’t change a thing

  • Everest Base Camp with my best friend

    Had an amazing and unforgettable trip with NHT to EBC with my best friend!

    To begin with Ganga (CEO) was very efficient and had great communication with the administrative side of booking the trek- and already showed how highly professional the company is even before starting the trek.

    A special shout out to our guide Ganga Tamang and porter Dipesh! From start to finish we were looked after amazingly, their knowledge, attentiveness and enthusiasm ensured that we were well informed and supported every step of the way! They went above and beyond to look after us on our trek and their skill still amazes us with the conditions and situations we faced even on the way back from EBC! Such as booking the best accommodation for us when we changed plans last minute on the way back to Lukla! They also make amazing photographers and ensure you capture and enjoy every moment!

    On the day we were to fly out of Lukla- due to changing weather conditions flights were cancelled but with the organisation skills of both our guide Ganga and CEO Ganga- we were able to get on a helicopter at the end of the day and last minute which was extremely impressive compared to unfortunately other people being stranded even when booked for a helicopter! The journey itself down the lower heli pad was one to remember- Ganga and Dipesh helped my best friend and I through insane conditions through the forest which I would never expect a guide or porter to go through but they did for us and ensured we got to the heli pad safely and in time for our flight!

    Still in shock to this day the commitment of care from them- not even just on that day! I still remember the push on EBC day when it got physically tough- Ganga and Dipesh were there supporting the whole way and I couldn’t have done it without them! Even just over a week after the trek I am already looking forward to booking my next trek with NHT- I wouldn’t book a trek with anyone else!

  • Fairy Tale

    Absolutely five-star!

    Like a fairy Tale. The' Roof of the world', 'Home of the Gods 'Even though there was a few bits that were quite challenging[above 4000metres], Our Guide Ram made it all to easy, To be Guided in the Himalayas by a total professional, who not only was in total control when unpredictable problems came up but at the same time seemed to love it in the Mountains more than anyone!

    I will always be in your debt, Ram, for the way you cared and encouraged my Wife and daughter[Chicuuuuuuuuuu!!!!],

    Missing your company,

    Adam

  • Nepal Hiking Team…the only way to go!

    I felt completely taken care of from the moment I made my first email inquiry (with Ganga) to getting me on my flight home. I am a 50-year-old solo traveler and was in Nepal for about a month, much of it on the trek. The communication and organization were 5-star+. My guide, Ram, was patient and extremely attentive. I ended up hurting my knee about 1/2 way, and Ram guided me back down safely. It was quite an adventure!

    I also arranged a couple of day trips to Patan and Bhaktapur via Ganga and enjoyed them as well. I would definitely use Nepal Hiking Team when I return. Thank you, everyone.
