The Everest View Trek is legendary around the world as it offers a world-class trekking trail, heading straight up to the mother of the earth - Everest, the world's highest mountain at 8,850 m. The scenery on this trek is extremely rewarding and despite it being one of the toughest and most challenging trekking destinations, this is often a one-in-a-lifetime-experience that you’ll definitely remember for the rest of your life.
Your journey to Everest View trek starts on the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla where you’ll land at Tenzing-Hillary airport. There are not any roads between the 2 towns and therefore the only way in is by plane. You will be enjoying some amazing views of the Himalayas if you get a window seat. The flight takes about half-hour then you’ll be landing within the mountain top village. The entire place is buzzing excitedly as trekkers and guides are busy preparing for the trek. As you prepare to ascent towards Everest Base Camp, you’ll bid goodbye to civilization.
The air at the upper elevations is cool and crisp, lush green forests stretch as far as the eye can see. You’re off on a journey to at least one of the foremost challenging destinations within the world. The gorgeous and serene mountain villages, the friendly people, and the breathtaking view of the mountain make this trip a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You’ll have a guide with you each step of the way as you follow the pathways and trails to Everest Base Camp. Bring your camera and plenty of films because you’ll want to record this trip for all of your family and friends. There's much to ascertain along the way like jagged cliffs, sparkling clear pools of water, and a bridge.
You’ll be making your stops at Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Tengboche, Kyangjuma, and Monjoon on the way to Everest Base Camp. You’ll spend the night in a number of these villages and experience the hospitality of the people of Nepal. Namche Bazaar is the trading hub of the mountain. People come to the villages to shop for and trade their goods. The Sherpa way of life is a tradition that has survived for numerous years. The villages are remote and remain as they have been since the initial phase of the time.
If you’ve never experienced the lives of Sherpas and their culture, this is the opportunity to view them closely. The sweetness of the environment, the peaceful feeling of being in nature far away from chaos and distractions will acquaint you with a mesmerizing way of living. Each of the villages you’ll be visiting has its own culture and belief system. Tibetan Buddhism started here and you can experience it everywhere you look. You’ll see beautiful icons of the Buddhist faith and life within the Himalayas. As a part of the trek, you’ll also get an opportunity to go to a couple of monasteries and gompas in Nepal just like the historic Khumjung Monastery. Each stop along the route is an experience in culture and hospitality. The trek to Everest Base Camp is an adventure that you simply must experience for yourself.
Your journey begins with your arrival in the bustling capital city of Nepal,
Kathmandu. A representative from our team will arrive for your pickup at TIA
who will assist you together with your luggage and transportation to your hotel. There are no planned activities for the day, so you'll check your hotel and luxuriate in the afternoon and evening at your leisure. You may simply want to rest after your long flight, but the lively tourist markets and restaurants of the Thamel are an enticing draw for many visitors.

1. Best Time To Travel
Spring from March to May and autumn from mid-September to November are considered to be the best seasons to trek. The weather is dry and clear during these times making it ideal for trekking and enjoying majestic views of mountains. The days are mild while the nights are chilly. On the downside, however, these are peak seasons and the trails get crowded and busy.
You can also go for a monsoon or winter trek if you want to avoid the crowds when you can even enjoy some off-season discounts at teahouses which remain mostly empty during these times. But you should be aware of some discomforts (rain, snow, and extreme cold) if you take to the trail at these times.
2. Entry Permits & Requirements
To get the permits, you will need to provide the listed documents and information:
3. Altitude Sickness
Symptoms of Altitude Sickness may begin once you reach 1500-2000 meters and upwards. If you gain a sudden height rapidly without letting your body adapt to the thin oxygen at higher altitudes, you are most likely to suffer from Altitude Sickness. But if you plan for acclimatization days to your itinerary, you are good to go.
Acclimatization days are included in your trip to avoid Altitude Sickness. The sickness is common at high altitudes. Please remember that altitude sickness is a topic to be taken very seriously. Here are a few extra prevention tips:
4. Safety and security
You can have Travel Insurance while trekking which is the safest measure. However, there are some measures following which you can implement to ensure safety:
5. Trekking essentials
People, often you don’t need a lot of complicated gear and equipment. Here’s a basic checklist of the most essential items that you should not forget to take.
6. Walking hours
On average, walking hours per day is 5-6 hours below 3,000m. For altitudes higher than 3,000m, the average walking time is 3-5 hours per day. The walking hours may vary according to conditions but do not exceeds 6 hours mark per day.
7. Hiring a Guide
Do good research before hiring a guide. However, if you plan your trip via a travel agency, an experienced guide will be provided for a group of 1-5. A group consisting of 6-12 individuals will be provided with 2 professional guides. Moreover, the package might also include a porter for every 2 individuals.
Everest View trek is best in the pre-monsoon season which is from March to May and post-monsoon season which starts from late September to December. However, you can still do this trek in February and early September but the trek is best preferred during the above-mentioned months.
Usually, the trek is mostly moderate and a little difficult at some places. Trekking from Lukla to Namche Bazaar itself is a challenging walk as the trail is very steep and sloppy. The farthest point on the trek is Tengboche, situated at an altitude of 3,870m (12,697ft). However, You will take a hike up to Everest View Hotel which is situated at an altitude of 3,962m (13,000ft.) during your acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar. This is in fact, the highest point on the trek. If you are physically fit and mentally prepared with a strong determination, then this trek is not as difficult as one can reckon. The only factor that attributes to the difficulty of this trek is the altitude and the long walking hours on uneven terrains for several days.
Your personal budget will totally depend on your spending habits and things that are included in your trip. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, it is suggested to bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes might cost you extra. You might also like to buy some crafts/souvenirs along the trekking route for which you have to bring extra cash.
To do the Everest Base Camp Trek, you need a legitimate passport, a tourist Visa, two passport-size photographs for trekking permits, and travel insurance which is very essential.
Usually, your guide advises you to go to the toilet in the tea houses before leaving to prevent the need to go during the trial. However, you may come across a few houses along the trail that will let you use their toilet. But, incase of an emergency you will have to go in the wild if there are no houses nearby
