Whilst for many a visit to the foot of Mount Everest is a personal
goal, for some it is enough to visit the Everest or Khumbu region and
experience the culture, the people, and the spectacular scenery. The
Everest View trek is a shorter trek than the Base Camp trek with the
famous Tengboche monastery at 3870m being the high point.
It is designed for those who wish to experience this region without
ascending to high altitude. Entry to the Khumbu is by air into the airstrip
at Lukla, and from here we follow the route of the Base Camp trek to
Tengboche monastery. From here we obtain breathtaking views of Everest
as it rises above the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge, as well as a superb view
of one of Nepal's most beautiful mountains, Ama Dablam - the 'Matterhorn
of the Khumbu'. From here we return to Lukla by a slightly different
route via Khumjung.
This is a short but classic trek which allows access to the most spectacular
mountain views in the world, in a shorter time frame. Accommodation
and food is provided in the local lodges. Clients often extend this
trip to two full weeks by taking a rafting trip or a visit to Chitwan
National Park.
