Just as its name portrays, Everest view trek is all about witnessing the panoramic view of the Himalayan giants including the world-famous Mount Everest. It is a short and easy trip that is creatively designed to explore Everest's beauty and its unique culture, people and mountain vistas in the shortest period of time. If you are short in time or if you are unsure about committing to a long trek, whatever the reason might be for you to stopping yourself, Everest view trek is a perfect trek option for you. This trek does not demand any type of physical fitness or previous experience, hence you get a plus point here as well. Even though this is a short trek, you will still get to trek to the most mesmerizing and popular places in the Everest Region are including Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Kongde-Ri and Mt. Kusum Kanguru.

The very first encounter of your journey will be the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu. This ancient exotic city holds a lot of history, culture, traditions, markets, and handicrafts. We begin our trek from a short yet beautiful scenic flight to Lukla (2860 m). After a half an hour flight to Lukla, passing through the stunning village, we make our way towards the heart of the Solu- Khumbu Region, Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site that is home to rare flora and fauna. On our way to Namche Bazaar (3445m), the land of Sherpas, we pass through beautiful and dense pine forests, rhododendron flowers and wildlife abundance. We spend a day in Namche in order to get acclimatized to higher altitudes. After a day at Namche, the trek continues passing through the village of Tengboche (3860 m), home to the holiest and highest Buddhist monastery in the world. The place is famous for photographers who get an exceptional shot of the stunning view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam and its neighboring peaks.

The concluding days of Everest view trek will be spent in the wonderful and scenic villages of Khunde (3840 m) and Khumjung where we will have an opportunity to interact with the local Sherpa people and participate in their remarkable traditional lifestyle. We then return back to Lukla from the same trail, enjoying the last views of the breath-taking Himalayan ranges and Everest.

The journey, all in all, is one amazing experience in the Himalayas in a very limited time. The trekkers get to explore the Everest Region and the rural lifestyle of its people. The most favorable season to go for Everest view trek is between mid-September to mid-December and between March to May.

Everest View Trek is a short and comfortable trekking package in the Everest region. So, experienced as well as first-time trekkers can enjoy this wonderful trek. But make you are in good shape to make this adventure an enjoyable and unforgettable one.

What is the Best Season for the Everest View Trek?

The best seasons for Everest View Trek are spring and autumn season. During the spring, the weather is stable and also the hills are well covered by the variety of colorful rhododendron flowers which make this place even more beautiful. Another best time is the autumn season when the temperature is moderate with stable weather conditions. Also, every October, Tengboche Monastery hosts the colorful Mani Rimdu festival.

Flight Delay in Kathmandu and Lukla

Lukla Airport (aka Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Airport), located on an enormous valley is bounded with high mountains. Due to this reason, the arrival and the taking off from Lukla are technical and difficult most of the time. The weather here is unpredictable and changes every next hour which causes flight delay or cancellation.

Twin Otter and Dornier planes are the only primary methods of transportation to Lukla from Kathmandu of the airway at Lukla. The service provided here is fairly dependable. However, if the flights get canceled or delayed due to mountain weather conditions, we will help you to charter a helicopter and make sure that you are on schedule for your trip and international flight connections. The additional charges roughly required are USD2,400 to USD2,800 per helicopter (USD 4,50 to USD 2,800 for each individual) would be pertinent to you for the helicopter charter. The helicopter will be taking 4 to 5 trekkers at a time and the expense can be shared among the riders. The cost must be paid by the rider, which can later be submitted for reimbursement through the travel insurance company. We can assist you with important documents for a claim. Payment for the helicopter must be done by the rider before or during the ride.

US dollars cash or Visas (Visa Cards, Master Cards, and American Express) are accepted for helicopter transport. Any card payment requires a 4 percent bank charge, which goes straightforwardly to the bank. The helicopter will be able to fly if the visibility is 1500 meters or greater, whereas the Twin Otter and Dornier planes can fly if the visibility is 5000 meters or greater, according to Nepalese Civil Aviation rules. If a situation, in which the weather is extreme and the visibility is lesser than 1,500 meters arises, then the helicopters will also not be able to fly either. In such cases, we will reschedule your trip for the following day depending on the availability and condition of the weather. If this situation continues for a long time, then you will be provided with alternative trek options.

Trip to see Mount Everest

We have booked the Everest View Trek Program. Our trip took place from 22nd October till 1st November, but if we could we would extend our trip for longer. Upon arrival, I was feeling a bit nervous as we did not know what to expect from the trip and it was our first time in Nepal. When we landed in Kathmandu, Ram met us at the airport with a very welcome feeling, and it gave us more conferences. The airport felt so busy but Ram recognized us within seconds, felt like we know each other from before. The first day we spend in Kathmandu, exploring the culture and capital its self. Ram gave us advises where to go, what to see and answered all our questions. Very helpful. The second day we meant to get a domestic flight to Lukla, but due to bad weather, we had to wait one day at the airport, as no flight would flight to mountains. On a second day, we have eventually taken off to Lukla by helicopter and only thanks to Ram as he managed to secure us a place. So we have been very thankful to him. Our guide Sadu, unfortunately, had to stay at the airport and waiting for the next plane, as there was no space available in a helicopter. Sadu is a very positive and energized person, we have met him latter in mountains.

7 Days Everest View Trek

My wife and I worked with Alpine Eco to arrange a 7-day hike to the Everest View Hotel. We found Ram, the owner, to be responsive, considerate of our needs and super flexible. In addition, the guide and porter he arranged for us were absolutely first-class, could not have wanted anything better. The entire operation was professionally run and we had total confidence that no matter what issues we ran into that it would be taken care of. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ram and Alpine Eco Trek to anyone considering a hike in Nepal.
