Things need to know before departure

The Everest View Trek is considered a reasonable trek, suitable for trekkers with a fundamental fitness and hiking experience. Due to the region's high altitude, it doesn't involve extreme altitudes or lengthy durations of more challenging treks like Everest Base Camp or Three Passes, but it still requires preparation and acclimatization.

Depending on the itinerary, the trek typically spans 5-7 days, with daily hikes ranging from 4-6 hours on average. The trails include gradual ascents and descents through varying terrain, from forested paths to rocky slopes and occasional steep sections. Trekkers should be prepared for altitude gains up to around 3,800 meters (12,500 feet), reaching the highest point at Tengboche Monastery.

While the trek doesn't involve technical climbing or extreme physical demands, it's essential to maintain a steady pace and allow time for acclimatization to prevent altitude-related issues. Trekking in the Everest region also involves unpredictable weather conditions, so being prepared with suitable clothing and gear is necessary for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Adequate preparation ensures a safe and enjoyable journey through the stunning landscapes of the Khumbu region before embarking on the Everest View Trek.

Physical Fitness: Ensure you have a basic fitness level with regular aerobic exercise and strength training. Cardiovascular endurance is crucial for managing the trek's altitude gains and daily hiking distances.

Acclimatization: Plan for gradual acclimatization by scheduling rest days and shorter hikes during the trek. This helps your body adjust to the increasing altitude, reducing the risk of altitude sickness.

Clothing: Pack lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing suitable for layering, including thermal wear, fleece jackets, waterproof pants, and sturdy hiking boots. Prepare for both warm daytime temperatures and cold nights at higher altitudes.

  • Backpack: A comfortable, sturdy backpack (30-40 liters) is ideal for carrying necessities like water, snacks, extra layers, and personal items.

Accommodation during the Everest View Trek ranges from basic tea houses to more comfortable lodges, each offering unique experiences along the trekking route.

Beverages:

Tea houses and lodges offer a variety of hot drinks, including Nepali tea (sweet milk tea), masala chai (spiced tea), coffee, and hot chocolate. These beverages provide warmth and comfort, especially in the chilly mountain evenings. Soft drinks and bottled water are also available, though prices may increase with altitude due to transportation costs.

Local Ingredients and Preparation:

Meals are prepared using locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the region's fresh produce and traditional flavours. Sherpa cooks skillfully prepare dishes, often incorporating herbs and spices that add depth to the culinary experience. Using local ingredients supports the community economy and ensures nutritious and flavorful meals.

Special Dietary Needs:

While tea houses and lodges can accommodate basic dietary preferences such as vegetarian or gluten-free diets, options may be limited at higher altitudes. Trekkers with specific nutritional requirements should communicate their needs to guides or accommodation staff in advance, allowing for better preparation and flexibility during the trek.

Travel insurance is essential for trekkers embarking on the Everest View Trek. It provides financial protection and peace of mind against unforeseen circumstances during the journey.

The cost of the Everest View Trek can differ depending on several factors, including the trekking route, duration of the trek, services included, and the trekking season. Here's an overview of the typical costs associated with the Everest View Trek:

Permits:

  • Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit: This permit is required for all trekkers entering the Everest region. It costs approximately NPR 3,000 (about USD 30) per person.

  • Local Area Entry Permit: This permit is needed to enter certain regional villages. It costs approximately NPR 2,000 (about USD 20) per person.

Guide and Porter Fees:

  • A licensed guide is suggested for safety and navigation, especially in remote areas. Guides typically charge around USD 20-30 per day.

  • Porters are available to carry trekking gear and equipment. Costs vary but are generally around USD 15-25 per day.

Accommodation:

  • Accommodation costs vary depending on the type of lodging chosen (tea house or lodge) and the comfort level. Expect to pay around USD 5-10 per night for basic tea houses and up to USD 20-60 for more comfortable lodges.

Food:

  • Meals are usually included in accommodation costs at tea houses and lodges. Budget approximately USD 10-20 per day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Transportation:

  • Flight to Lukla: Trekkers typically fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, the beginning point of the trek. Round-trip flights cost approximately USD 350-400 per person, depending on the airline and season.

Miscellaneous Expenses:

  • Additional expenses may include renting or purchasing trekking gear, drinks (bottled water, tea, soft drinks), snacks, tips for guides and porters, and personal expenses.

Note: Prices are approximate and subject to change based on currency exchange rates, trekking season, and specific trek itinerary. It's advisable to confirm costs and make early reservations, especially for flights and accommodations during peak trekking seasons in the Everest region.

Tea houses and lodges along the expedition route rely on alternative energy sources like solar panels or small hydroelectric systems. While many accommodations offer electricity, availability can be inconsistent, especially at higher altitudes or during adverse weather conditions.

Trekkers should expect limited access to power and plan accordingly for charging devices. Charging facilities are typically available for a fee, and it's advisable to carry a portable power bank to ensure devices remain charged throughout the trek.

Wi-Fi access in tea houses and lodges is sporadic and typically limited to common areas such as dining halls or reception areas. The quality and reliability of Wi-Fi connections vary widely, and trekkers may encounter slow speeds due to remote locations and limited bandwidth.

Mobile data coverage from providers like Ncell and Nepal Telecom is available in some parts of the region. Still, it needs to grow at higher altitudes and in more remote areas. Trekkers should manage expectations regarding internet access and view it as an occasional luxury rather than a reliable resource.

Plan by informing family and friends about limited communication capabilities during the trek. Consider using offline maps or trekking apps and establish alternative emergency communication methods. Clutch the opportunity to disconnect from digital distractions and fully immerse oneself in the Everest region's natural beauty and cultural richness.

Access to ATMs along the Everest View Trek route is limited, especially in remote and high-altitude areas. Trekkers should plan by withdrawing enough cash in Kathmandu before starting the trek. In Lukla, the starting point is that ATMs exist but may only sometimes be reliable due to technical issues or cash shortages.

Namche Bazaar, a larger village on the route, has a few ATMs, but availability can vary, and queues can be extended during peak seasons. Smaller towns and remote trekking areas generally do not have ATMs at all.

Trekkers need to carry enough Nepali Rupees (NPR) in cash to cover accommodation, meals, and other expenses throughout the trek. Credit cards are rarely accepted in tea houses and lodges, so cash remains the preferred payment method.

The Everest View Trek earns its name from its stunning panoramic views of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. This trek is designed for those seeking a glimpse of Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants without undertaking the entire Everest Base Camp trek.

Trekkers enjoy breathtaking vistas of Everest and neighbouring peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam from vantage points along the route, such as Namche Bazaar and the Everest View Hotel.
