Everest View Trek, also known as Everest Panorama Trek, is possibly the shortest and the most basic trek in the Khumbu region. It lasts for only 7 days, yet, it covers the most significant places in the Everest Base Camp Trek route. A shorter Everest View 4 days trekking version is also opted by many. However, we realized that it requires a minimum of 7 days to go to and forth this trekking route comfortably.
Everest Panorama View Trek is the best option for anyone who’s trekking for the first time and isn’t yet ready for extreme altitude, weather, and terrain. This trek will not take you as close to the Everest Base Camp, however, it will give you the chills and the feels experienced by any trekker going up to that altitude.
Details Of Everest View Trek in Nepal
This trek follows the route that lasts only for a duration of 7 days. Like another trek in the region, it starts with a flight to Lukla, and on the same day, a small 2-3 hours trek to Phakding. The most wonderful thing about trekking in this region is that you’ll always find yourself close to nature, with the most amazing sceneries and landscapes.
As days pass, you’ll find yourself in wonderful settlements like Namche Bazaar. Both of these places are known for their people, with a unique culture and lifestyle. The modernity of Namche Bazaar is sure to surprise you, with all the amenities and western food. It’ll be hard for you to believe that you’re in the hills.
The villages on the route offer up-close panoramic views of peaks like Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam and so on. These are few of the very crucial features that make this trek one of the most exciting trips in the region, offering great experiences to the trekkers.
You are sure to be amazed by the rich flora and fauna of the region, as the trekking route is a part of Sagarmatha National Park. The path will offer you amazing sceneries of the hills, covered with the beautiful trees of Rhododendron, Birch, and Juniper, and Dudhkoshi river flowing at its base, with water as white as milk.
For those of you who’re skeptical about whether you’d be able to adjust and keep up at such a high altitude, still want to taste Everest up-close, this is the trek for you. The villages and settlement areas that you’d come across in terms of walking on the trail are fortunately few of the most culturally significant ones. Plus the natural phenomenon! This is indeed a really amazing trek!
And like it’s mentioned above, if you’re comfortable with extending the duration of the trek, you could go on side trips, and visit the villages surrounding the main trail and also the Everest Three Pass Trek., would also be great for you. Or, you could go higher to see how much you could take as a trekker! Best of luck!
