Winding mountain paths give spectacular views of Mount Everest, the world's highest snow-capped peak, and of other mountain peaks, including Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

Overview of Everest View Trek

Your guides will introduce you to diverse Himalayan flora and fauna at Sagarmatha National Park, local culture at Namche Bazaar and other Sherpa villages, and UNESCO World Heritage sites in Nepalese capital city Kathmandu.

The journey ends with a farewell dinner on return to Kathmandu, where you can sample Nepalese cuisine for the last time before flying out.

Trek difficulty - Everest View Trek

The Everest View Trek is one of the easiest treks we offer. It's perfect for people with a lower level of fitness, as it doesn't reach Everest Base Camp and remains at lower altitudes and difficulty levels. It's also perfect for those who are short on time and would like to see stunning Everest views without completing the long, arduous trek up its slopes, as well as being a much safer option for families with children.

Although it's an easy trek, it doesn't compromise on an adventure; expect to discover the fascinating, rich culture of the Sherpa people and diverse Himalayan wildlife, and explore Nepal's beautiful nature. These expeditions are flexible and customizable to your needs, ensuring that you get the best possible experience out of your trip with us. The luxury trek also includes porters, and we can arrange the hire of equipment such as down jackets to keep you cozy.

Everest Trekking Geography

Trekking through Himalayan landscapes will leave you feeling on top of the world. The journey begins with a visit to World Heritage-listed sites including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple, and continues through terrain as diverse as the Dudh Koshi river banks, wildlife-rich Sagarmatha National Park, and spectacular mountain views from Jorsale and Chautara.

The region's main draw is Mount Everest, whose snow-capped peaks tower over the landscape as we trek through. This trip includes a visit to the luxurious Everest View Hotel, known for its sweeping vistas out over the landscape. Most of the trek is made up of comfortable hiking and gentle mountaineering. The best time to visit is in the dry months of October to April, as June sees monsoon rains pelt down and obscure the scenery.

Culture, lifestyle and people - Everest View Trekking

Although the Everest View Trek is short and sweet, there are plenty of opportunities to learn about the local lifestyle and culture. The trip passes through the popular Namche Bazaar, where you'll rest for a day to acclimatize to the altitude, and through many other Sherpa villages.

Local guides and porters will share their culture with you, and accommodation is a mix of hotels and teahouses, which give a unique glimpse into local life. You'll also pass through the green terraced hills of tea plantations, where some of the world's finest mountain teas are grown.

Everest View Trek Review

Great services! A company you can trust

I had a very good experience with Nepal mountain trekkers, the entire booking was done via email and Ramesh managed to design a trip that exactly fit my needs. always with a prompt reply to my emails The first couple of days went as plan until I started facing problems with one of the domestic flights that I had to catch during my trip, after spending hours at the airport the airline canceled my flight and since I had a very tight schedule, the cancellation of the flight caused a major disruption in my trip. My guide contacted Ramesh and he immediately started to work trying to fix the mess caused by the airline, he went above and beyond addressing all my new requests. So my experience with Nepal mountain trekkers couldn’t be better, it is for sure a company you can trust, when everything goes as plan is great, but when things get wrong is when you see who you can count with, and Ramesh was there supporting me all the time.

A wonderful challenge with a great company

Being the wrong side of 70 the only thing left on my bucket list was to see Mount Everest. I noticed that Nepal Mountain Trekkers did a trek up to the Hotel Everest View which was just what I wanted. Well. I chose the right company. Ramesh and his team are very experienced and they are also lovely people. Right from the outset Ramesh was brilliant. He planned my trek and always promptly answered all my questions. I was going to hire a duffel bag, sleeping bag and quilt jacket but they happened to have spares so lent me those. He couldn't have done more to help. My guide Suman met me at the airport on arrival and nobody could have looked after me better during the whole experience. When plans went slightly awry ie. cancelled flights Suman was always able to come up with the best alternatives. He is a lovely man, he carried my bags all the way, and couldn't have looked after me better. I've had a wonderful challenging experience and I thank Nepal Mountain Trekkers for it.

Wonderful experience with majestic view of Mt. Everest

My wife and I with another couple (all in our mid 60s) went on a "Everest Base Camp tour" with helicopter from Air Dynasty. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience seeing the majestic Mt Everest. The helicopter took us to Everest View Hotel for a breakfast stop before going back to the base. Mr Ramesh Dhakal from Nepal Mountain Trekkers organized the tour for us. I would highly recommend Ramesh for his very efficient and professional service.

I describe our trip to the Mount Everest View point with one word: AMAZING Everything was perfect. During our trek we had the whole time a comfortable feeling. We arrived in Kathmandu and our guide picked us up at the airport and joined us to our hotel. The hotel was beautiful. It is a small paradise inside Kathmandu. We had the feeling like home. (Hotel Horizon Kathmandu) Our trip starts on the next day with a fly to Lukla. The first adventure during our trip. After the arrival in Lukla we start our trek with the target Mount Everest view hotel. The landscape during the whole time was amazing. We need three days to arrive the hotel. During this time we slept in Tea Houses and the organization was blameless. After the arriving we had the perfect view to the Mount Everest. The feeling was amazing during this moment. We had the perfect Landscape with all the great peaks. On the next day we started the trek back to Lukla and flight back to Kathmandu on the next morning. Resume: During the trip we had a comfortable feeling. Everything was perfect. Are you watching for a one week trip with the perfect landscape and the final view to the Mount Everest? Take this trek. But the trek was more than an amazing landscape and the Mount Everest. You can feel the peaceful atmosphere in the mountains of Nepal and you have a lot of contact to the native people. These people are really amazing. Thank you to the Team of Nepal Mountain Trekkers. Thank you to Ramesh and to Bisang .It was beautiful.

Atemberaubend und immer wieder schön .

Everest view Trekk mit schönen Aussichten und einem Guide, der auf alles achtet. Ich bin immer wieder in Nepal , nur habe ich mich in solche Höhen noch nie getraut. Es braucht schon etwas Vorbereitung , denn man muss fit sein für so ein Vorhaben. Schon allein der Flug nach Lukla ist ein Abenteuer für sich . Man sieht Berge und Menschen , die mit wenigen Worten nicht zu beschreiben sind . Mit Suman war ich auf einen wunderschönen Weg unterwegs .Jedes mal, wenn er merkte, dass ich an meine Grenzen gekommen bin, wurde erst mal eine kleine Rast eingelegt, so dass ich mich immer wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt habe. So konnte ich den ganzen Weg geniessen. Vor allem war ich sehr fasziniert, wie die Menschen da oben leben und wie herzlich sie doch sind. Der Weg alleine, ist mit all seinen Aussichten und seiner Geschichte , diese Reise wert. Noch einmal vielen Dank für die liebe Beratung und einen Freund, der mir immer zur Seite gestanden hat.
