Among all the Everest Region Trek, Everest view trek is the shortest and moderate level trek in terms of difficulty where you can watch the Mount Everest with a sip of coffee. There’s no two weeks of long trek, no pushing your body past 3,900m and no stress like you would face in Everest Base Camp Trek.
You just take a direct flight into lukla, walk two days up to Namche Bazar, hike to Everest View Hotel for the panorama, spend a day among the Sherpa villages of Khumjung and kunde, and turn around.
That’s it, it’s a light trek, it’s family friendly and it’s the best way to enjoy the Himalayas of Nepal and explore the Sherpa culture in short period of time.

If you are worried about altitude sickness then you only climb upto 3,880m and avoid the serious altitude risk of Base Camp. However, two honest exceptions. If you are have any disease related to heart and lung then you will need to get the doctor’s clearance first.
Can I add Helicopter ride on this trek?
Yes, and there’s two ways to do it. You can take helicopter return – fly back to Kathmandu from Syangboche or Namche instead of walking back same route which will save your time and energy. Or you can add a scenic heli tour for an aerial view of the higher Khumbu which is another best way to enjoy Everest View Trek.
For the Heli ride customization, we can manage it on the site – however, the flight will only happen during clear weather. Tell us which you want and we’ll fold it into your itinerary.
