The Everest region, known as Sagarmatha to the Nepali people, is a famous place for the Sherpa people who have lived in the region for thousands of years. Sagarmatha National Park was established on July 19, 1976 and is a protected UNESCO World Heritage site.

On this trek, we will be visiting and pass through the villages of the Sherpas. On some days, we will stay in their place as well.

Wildlife and nature

The entire Everest region is a beautiful mix of majestic peaks, deep valleys, flowing rivers and otherworldly glaciers that span vast swaths of the region. We will trek almost all the time inside the national park of Everest, walking through ancient pine forests, crossing rivers and heights on suspension bridges, and passing by many rhododendron jungles along the trail.

We will visit to the museum of Sagarmatha National Park and learn about the culture, wildlife, nature and history of mountaineering in the region. The museum provides a stunning vantage point to see the mountains, with a clear line of sight towards Everest and her sister peak, Lotse.

Everest View Trek vs. Everest Base Camp Trek

1. Physical Requirements/ Everest View Trek Difficulty

This is a relatively easy trek and an introduction to the region for those who prefer an easy trek without much need for acclimatization or extended time in high altitudes.

Everest View Trek takes the same trail as Everest Base Camp but stops at Tengboche, which is about halfway to Everest Base Camp.

Despite being a shorter and easier trek, adventurers are still expected to be in moderately good shape in order to complete the journey. The highest elevation you will climb to is around 4000m above sea level compared to the approx. 5500m for Everest Base Camp. Although 1500m may not sound like much, every meter counts when it comes to high altitudes! The lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes can put significant strain on the body.

Most trekkers successfully trek to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche without much trouble, although being in good health is still a prerequisite. Be ready to sweat!

If you are on a tight schedule, this may be an ideal way to spend a few days in the region and see Mt. Everest with your own eyes. The trek can be done in a week from Lukla to Tengboche and back, compared to Everest Basecamp, which is at least 12 days.

2. Scenery

If you’re coming for the beauty of the region, then rest assured that both treks will provide you with plenty of gorgeous landscapes to marvel at. Everest View Trek is considered by many to be a panoramic trek. Every day you will awake to the view of snow-capped picturesque mountains, cross flowing rivers, and walk under the lush green canopies of the forest at lower elevations. As you climb higher, you will come across the temples and ancestral homes of the Sherpa people, seeing for yourself some of the most iconic landscapes of Nepal.

Once you reach the height of 4000 meters above sea level at Tengboche, it will be the closest view of Mount Everest possible. Many people don’t know this but you cannot actually see Mount Everest from base camp!

2.2 Cultural aspect

In Everest View Trek, our journey ends at one of the oldest and largest monasteries in the Khumbu region. Near a hilltop close to Tengboche village, you will be at a similar height to the top of Everest in terms of aerial distance. The illusion of height and distance in geometry makes us feel as if we are on level to the top of Mount Everest.

Tengboche is also the last site for trekkers below the tree line – the elevation at which trees stop growing. For Everest Base Camp trekkers who venture onwards, the rest of their journey will comprise increasingly barren landscapes and shrubs as they edge closer to base camp and the glaciers that await.

For Everest View trekkers, however, there is still much greenery to enjoy and much to see. At Tengboche Monastery, we can attend the regular ceremony of the temple in the morning and the evening. Monks of Tengboche let us pray and welcome trekkers to stay during the regular puja ceremony inside the monastery. Trekkers can also go to nearby Khumjung and Khunde villages to see the famous yeti scalp.
