About Everest View - short Trek - 6 Days

The Everest Panorama Trek (also known as the Everest Short Trek) is the perfect choice for travelers who want to experience the beauty and culture of the Everest region in less than a week. Unlike the longer Everest Base Camp trek, this itinerary allows you to explore Sherpa villages, soak in mountain panoramas, and enjoy the thrill of the Himalayas without going to extreme altitudes.

Your adventure begins with a spectacular flight to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. From here, you trek along the Dudh Koshi River to Phakding, and then continue to Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa town filled with shops, bakeries, and mountain lodges. The highlight of the journey is the hike to Everest View Hotel and Khumjung Village, offering a perfect blend of natural scenery and cultural encounters. Finally, the trek loops back to Lukla and concludes with a scenic flight to Kathmandu.

Tips & Ideas

Best time to do Everest View Trek

The best seasons for backpacking and trekking in Nepal are Autumn and Spring. Autumn season includes September, October and November whereas Spring season includes March, April and May respectively.

During these seasons, the atmosphere is mostly clear and indeed the weather is reasonable, offering picturesque scenery and with no barriers. Cherry blossoms, flora, and exotic wildlife meet you throughout the spring. During these months, it's recommended to go for a jog.

That although summer brings a significant rainy season, the roads in Mustang, Dolpo, and Nar- Phu valleys are substantially smoother even though they are rainfall sites. Traveling on Everest, Langtang, Annapurna, and Tibet has always been preferable in the winter.

Trek Difficulty during Everest View Trek

Trekking may indeed be tough and stressful. Consequently, for a tough challenge, you could need some physical skills and support. Even though we have more difficult pathways in various locations besides Everest, trekking at Everest Base Camp doesn't quite require advanced experience or tremendous health.

When trekking, altitude sickness is a tremendous concern. You could have altitude sickness on almost any climb above 2,500 meters, though strong health, appropriate treatment, and enough water will undoubtedly prevent you from getting it. Every climber must be acclimated with heights and altitude, hence we guarantee life-saving adaptation days throughout the trek. We do provide immediate treatment for your comfort including emergency helicopter rescue if the crisis happened.

Accommodation and Food

Accommodation in Everest View Trek is normal as in another trekking route. You are provided a comfortable bed including a warm blanket, comfortable mattress, attached bathroom (if necessary), and amazing view of the surroundings. Besides accommodation, you will get a chance to taste Nepali-Chinese Continental food during your trek.

Packing Lists

Since the Everest View Trek has become one of the quickest brisk walks in Nepal's Khumbu region that would not offer sophisticated trekking stuff, casual clothing is adequate for the climb; still, please note down to carry essential clothes during your trek.
