Everest View Trek
Visiting Mt. Everest region is a dream of many adventure lovers in the world.
The reasons of visiting the region may differ from person to person. Some may
visit for their personal goal, while others for experiencing culture and
adventure. The trek is prepared for those who have limited time and can not trek
to the higher altitude. Besides, the trek is also popular among the senior
citizens. Comparatively it is shorter than Everest Base Camp trek. In this trek,
we would reach only up to Tyangboche monastery which is situated at an altitude
of 3870m. It is the highest altitude of the trek.
We enter the Khumbu region by air trough Kathmandu –Lukla flight. It takes
around 40 minutes to reach Lukla from Kathmandu. Upon arrival at Lukla, we get
refreshed in one of the best hotels and then start our trek. The trek continues
through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park with pine forests,
rhododendron flowers and an abundance of wildlife to Namche Bazaar (3442m).
A day at Namche is spent for acclimatization and then we proceed to Tyangboche
(3930m), the home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m).
The later days of this adventure journey will be spent in the delightful and
scenic villages of Khunde (3500m) and Khumjung where we will have the
opportunity to interact with the legendary Sherpa people and participate in
their astonishing traditional lifestyle. Finally, we come back to Kathmandu
through Lukla.
