Everest View Trek

Everest View Trek


From £1,650
Altitude 4,100m Grade: T3

For those with limited time you can enjoy Everest views from Thyangboche with no camping required.

This Everest View trek, the shortest of our Everest hikes, provides an opportunity for those with limited time or for those who wish to have a relaxed week of trekking to experience the delightful views of Everest without going all the way up to Base Camp.

Experience the Everest View and lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park

The trek takes you through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, with pine forests, rhododendron flowers and an abundance of wildlife to Thyangboche, the home of the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m), and classic, some say the best Everest View trek and view points for Ama Dablam. Suitable for the average walker, this trek offers an excellent introduction to the delights of trekking in the Himalaya, the colourful and vibrant city of Kathmandu and friendly interaction with the legendary Sherpa people.

This trek can start any day during the trekking season, October to May.

Itinerary

Day 1 Depart UK

Day 2 Arrive Kathmandu (usually early evening).  Transfer to hotel close to the famous, bustling Thamel district of Kathmandu and within easy walking of the monkey temple, a lovely place to relax.

Day 3 Early in the morning we transfer to the airport for a spectacular and breathtaking flight to the Sherpa village of Lukla (2800m).  After lunch we can do the short walk along the typically stony path that descends from the forested terraces of Lukla.  This takes us right into the DudhKosi ('river of milk') valley and the brightly painted lodges of Phakding (2610m).  From here there are stunning views of KusumKanguru's North Face (6367m). Along the trail are mani stone walls, brightly decorated with coloured paints. Buddhists hold these sacred and you must, as a sign of respect, pass these in a clockwise direction. 2 hours walking

If the flight is delayed due to poor weather this will become the sightseeing day scheduled for the end of the trip.

Day 4 We trek into the Sherpa capital and heart of the Khumbu. You will now be becoming familiar with local protocol for passing chortens, mani stones, yaks, spinning prayer wheels etc and enjoying the hustle and bustle of trekking and everyday life that exists on the 'Everest Trail'.  At Monjo we enter Sagarmartha National Park and can visit the small visitor centre there. Here the track starts to rise up the famous Namche Hill, the first big ascent and time to drop down a gear and take a slow and steady pace. 4 to 5 hours walking.

Day 5 Acclimatisation day in Namche Bazaar.  It is important to have a couple of nights and a rest day in Namche before proceeding any higher.  You can spend the day taking short walks up to Thami or Khumjung, visiting the Everest, Ama Dablam and Pumori viewpoints or just relaxing and exploring the narrow streets of this busy Sherpa capital.

Day 6 A steep ascent above Namche up to a ridge that affords majestic Himalayan views and back down to Namche and the valley below. You pass the Sherpa village of Kumjung and follow the level and then descending trail from which you can enjoy great views to Ama Dablam and Kangtaiga. After crossing the river at PhunkiTenga, a climb up through rhododendrons takes you up to the meadows beside the impressive Thyangboche monastery, the highpoint of your trek and the best viewpoint for Everest. 5 to 6 hours walking.

Day 7 We retrace our steps to Namche and continue down to the National Park entrance at Monjo. 5 to 6 hours walking

Day 8 Trek back to Lukla and celebrate the end of the trek. The Alpine mountain hut atmosphere of Paradise Lodge in Lukla is the ideal place to relax and celebrate your journey's end. 4 hours walking.

Day 9 Fly Lukla to Kathmandu.  Back to the comforts of our hotel in Thamel and the enjoyable hustle and bustle.  This is a good time to buy souvenirs and try your hand at haggling with the local shopkeepers.  Time to celebrate!

Day 10/11 Spare day in case of bad weather and time for sightseeing in Kathmandu. Sightseeing tours can be arranged and would include visiting the temples of Bodnath, Swayambhunath (The Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath and Durbar Square.  Simply wandering around the huge array of shops, markets, cafes, bars and restaurants in Thamel is a fascinating experience.  Depart Kathmandu in the evening of Day 11

Day 12 Arrive back in the UK.
