Overview

The Everest View Point trek is a popular and relatively easy trek in the Khumbu region of Nepal that offers stunning views of Mount Everest and the surrounding mountains. Located just a few hours from the bustling town of Lukla, the Hotel Everest View Point trek is a great option for those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas without the physical demands of a longer trek.

The trek starts in Lukla, a small town located at an altitude of 2,840 meters (9,320 feet) that serves as the gateway to the Everest region. From Lukla, you will walk to the village of Phakding, located at an altitude of 2,652 meters (8,700 feet). From Phakding, the trek follows the Dudh Kosi river and passes through several small villages, including Monjo and Jorsale, before reaching Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Khumbu region.
