trip Overview
The Everest View trek is suitable for trekkers having limited time, average fitness level, and seeking to explore the Everest region. It is one of the short treks in the Everest region that can be completed in just 7 days. But, the total trek duration is only 5 days. This trek is easy for trekkers having previous trekking experience but moderate for beginner trekkers.
Trekkers pass through beautiful Sherpa settlements during this Everest View Trek. Admire the hospitality of the friendly locals. The trekking trail is jagged with several ascends and descends making it demanding for trekkers. Still, the surrounding awesome views and excursion to the lovely Khumjung village, and Everest View Hotel are delightful. Visit the Khumjung Monastery and enjoy the phenomenal views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and other surrounding peaks.
