Everest View Trek is one of the very popular treks in the Everest Region. As the name suggests, the trek takes us to the Everest Viewpoint at 3,867m to get the amazing view of the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest which is also known as Sagarmatha. The trek is highly recommended to those time-crunched travelers wishing to witness the beauty of Mt. Everest much more closely.
Everest View Trek Trip Overview:
The short Everest View Trek can be completed just within a week. Hence, the trek is very suitable for those with a very limited time frame. The trek takes you through the beautiful Khumbu Valley giving you an amazing view of the landscapes and giant Himalayas. Besides Mt. Everest, the trek offers magical views of peaks like Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Cho-Oyu, and Mt. Ama Dablam. The Khumbu region is also home to range of floras and faunas, old monasteries, and the unique Sherpa culture.
With the amazing views of various mountains, the trek also takes you through the Sherpa Community which can be the best way to explore the culture, tradition, and lifestyle of the people in the Everest region. You will also get the opportunity to explore the ancient Tengboche Monastery and other different Buddhist Monasteries.

Very rarely, but it could happen even in the best trekking season also as you know how climate changes affect our world.
