9 Days Everest View Trekking Tour Nepal
Trip Overview
Nepal is the birth land of Lord Buddha and the rooftop of the world. It encompasses eight of the world’s highest peaks, one of which is Mount Everest (8848 meters) or Sagarmatha. Other famous peaks are Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Cho Oyu, and Annapurna.
The Everest View Trekking takes you through to some UNESCO World Heritage sites, across the treacherous terrain land in the arms of snow-covered mountains, enveloped with lakes, hidden villages of Sherpas around monasteries and gompas. This not-so-challenging trek gives the most beautiful panoramic views of the landscape.
This trek is introduced to the smart section of society who believes in productive research because of the time limit or (with all due respect) lack of ability. With this trek, tourists get to see the Mount Everest without even going all the way up to the base camp.
Trek starts from Lukla in the Khumbu valley [to reach Lukla, take a 30 minutes flight from Kathmandu]. As we go towards the north of Lukla, we will find ourselves in Phakding. On the next day, a walk through the clouds of pine trees and rhododendron forests in the Sagarmatha National Park. Crossing via illuminating rivers like Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi, which ascends to the Namche Bazaar (3440m) is an impeccable route.
Travelers halt at Namche Bazaar for the night while learning about the cultural differences and similarities like Buddhism, different languages, the lifestyle of the Nepalese people. Moving across this landlocked country between India and China which has the world's highest Buddhist monastery, Tyangboche (4100m), the exploration of the traditional route and the encounters in between are worth the trek. We further go forward from the villages of Khumjung and Khunde. On the last day of trekking, we head back to Lukla to end our trip by catching a flight to Kathmandu.
Go for a Peak-a-boo! Enjoy the views and echos of the Ravens.
