This trek is about more than just about pretty sights. You'll get to know the fantastic Sherpa people who call these mountains home. Visit their villages, sip yak butter tea (sounds weird, tastes good!), and even see a real yeti skull (maybe!). It's like stepping into a National Geographic documentary, but way cooler.

You won't reach the base camp, but you'll get close enough to say "hi" to Everest from a comfy hotel with amazing views. Imagine waking up to a sunrise over snowy peaks – postcard perfect!

Our journey will start with a 45-minute flight to Lukla. It is one of the world's most scenic flights. We will begin our Trek from the banks of the Dudh Koshi River towards the Namche Bazaar, the gateway to Everest. From here, we'll hike to the historic Tengboche Monastery. You will enjoy the breathtaking scenery and experience its serene spiritual atmosphere. Our final trek destination is Everest View Hotel, where sunrise paints the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Finally, we'll descend, enjoying the landscapes and celebrating our accomplishment with a flight back to Kathmandu.

Permits and Documents Required for Everest View Hike

Before you lace up your boots, you'll need to take care of a few important permits and documents. Don't worry! We've broken them down into simple paragraphs so you can focus on your dreams of yak encounters and breathtaking sunrises!

Permits:

If you choose the longer route starting in Jiri, you'll need an additional permit for the Gaurishankar Conservation Area. This helps protect biodiversity and local communities. Where to get it: Either Hiking Bees or the local authorities in Jiri can facilitate this process.
