As the name speaks for itself Everest View Trekking truly offers a magnificent view of Everest along with many other towering mountains without having to trek higher altitude and committing longer holiday. Not only it offers the grand views but also offers the taste of real life in the mountains that you come across. This trek would certainly be the best choice if you would like to see the grandeur of Everest without having to commit for longer and higher altitude trek. And at the same time it also offers the opportunity to experience the trekking in the mountain and interact with the world famous Sherpa people and know their culture and lifestyle.
Starting from Lukla, you will be trekking towards Everest National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site. Trekking through beautiful forests enriched with diverse flora and fauna, amazing landscape broken into glacial valleys and deep gorges and wonderful Sherpa settlements with unique cultural heritages, you will be enthralled all throughout the trip to have experienced so much within not a long duration of time.
For the trekking to base camp, our regular Everest Base Camp Trekking offers what it takes for a successful and memorable trek. If you are able to afford slightly longer holiday and are reasonably fit, you could opt for base camp trekking as well.
