Actually, with a very limited amount of time, I came across the Short Everest Trek to enjoy the glimpses of Everest. Thank you, Rabin (Guide). Alex B. Dixon - UK

Short Everest Trek
Overview

The shortest and easiest way to view the majestic snow-capped mountains Everest Short Trek is the best option from the perspective of budget and time management. Which include Mount Everest, Mount Thamserku, Mount Kongde Ri, Mount Nuptse, Mount Ama Dablam, and many more. The beauty of the short Everest Trek for travelers is to see its landscapes from afar and to climb up some altitudes and view that scenery in close proximity. The short Everest trek starts in Kathmandu, followed by a 35-minute flight to Lukla Airport. After landing there, we reach Tangboche Village within 4 days.

The Himalayan Glow Trek and Expedition is fully committed to taking you there and observing the mountains in all possible directions. The trail goes through dense rhododendron and pine trees, the roaring Dudh Koshi River (which flows from Everest by mixing many tributaries), suspension bridges, and the amazing biodiversity of nature. Which will make our trek exciting and more adventurous.

Tengboche Village is a pristine town that offers excellent views of Mount Everest, Mount Tawache, Mount Thamserku, and Mount Lhotse. The village is a settlement of Buddhist communities, and where the colorfully largest Tengboche Monastery is located are some of the top highlights of the short Everest Trek.

Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, an official will receive you from the Tribhuvan International Airport and move you to the hotel in Thamel for check-in. Take a rest there. We give some short information about the next day's tour and the day after tomorrow's trek for the Everest Short Trek. For the remaining hours of the day, we might visit the glamorous city of Thamel. Thamel is a hub of rapidly booming related businesses in tourism. Overnight in Kathmandu.

After waking up early in the morning and having your favorite breakfast, we commence our day tour at the major UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We go to Kathmandu Durbar Square. The medieval-era square holds unique art and history from Nepal. On our tour, go ahead and visit the most beautiful temple, Pashupatinath. After a short hike around the picturesque and peaceful surroundings, we head toward Boudhanath Stupa and Swayambhunath Stupa. The stupas are dedicated to Lord Buddha and become the first choice of tourists because of the relaxing scenery and the beautiful artwork. We finish the day's tour and return to the hotel. Overnight in Kathmandu.

We wake up in the morning, have breakfast, and then take a flight to Lukla on a domestic flight. After landing in Lukla, our first trek begins today up to the beautiful village of Phakding. The route slowly goes up through lush valleys, decending and ascending trails in dense forests of rhododendron and pine trees. Then, we cross a few suspension bridges and the white Dudh Koshi River. It will be a wonderful walk, especially close to nature. We finally reach Phakding. Overnight in Phakding.

We wake up in the morning and have breakfast. We commence our trek and cross the most beautiful Dudh Koshi river, which flows from Everest and other snow-capped peaks. Then, on our continual walk, we see the magnificent Thamserku mountain view on the route. Our decending and ascending stony walk, through typical Sherpa villages and the surrounding areas rich in flora and fauna, finally leads us to the beautiful Himalayan town of Namche Bazaar. The time of our arrival will be almost dusk, and the views of Mount Everest, Mount Ama Dablam, Mount Lhotse, and Mount Nuptse will be fascinating. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.

Today is the perfect day to explore further the real beauty of the mountains in Namche Bazaar. We wake up in the morning and set out for the ascent hike to the Everest View Hotel to see the serene view of mountains like Mount Everest, Mount Ama Dablam, and other peaks. Everest View Hotel is an excellent view point to see those mountains in very close proximity. We further head toward Sagarmatha National Park. The park is a conservation area for Himalayan tahr, musk deer, snow leopard, red panda, and more than 118 species of birds, such as blood pheasants, snowcocks, and so on.

For further exploration of our trek, we go to Khumjung village to learn the secret information about the Yeti scalp that is kept in the Khumjung monastery. Then go to the nearby Kunde village and visit Hillary School and Hospital (Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, the first person from New Zealand to have confirmed summiting Mount Everest).

We go back to Namche Bazaar. The town sits in the lap of the engrossing Himalayas and offers most of the modern facilities required for tourists. Such as wifi, shops, bakari, budget-to-luxurious accommodations, and so on. We visit the remaining time to explore the Namche Bazaar and taste the local-made cheese, milk, and thupa. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.

Today, after taking our morning breakfast, we start our relatively easier ascending route. Just above the settlement of Namche Bazaar, we have a good view of Kongde Ri Peak along the side. We go for a further straight walk and see the most beautiful mountains, like Everest, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse. We ascend up through the Grennery Sloping Hills, a peaceful environment where the sound of birds is more relaxing. We finally reach Tengboche at dusk. The mesmerizing views of sunlight illuminating Everest and other mountains are quite eye-catching within close range. Overnight in Tengboche.

We wake up early in the morning to view the most beautiful and intriguing gems of our trek. The morning view of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and many other peaks is quite spectacular. We begin an hour-long hike to visit Greenery Tengboche village, where the largest Tengboche monastery is located in the Everest region. We enter the Tengboche monastery, see the colorful art decorations, and experience the religious surroundings.

Tengboche village is known as the birthplace of Mount Everest climber Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, the first person from Nepal to summit Mount Everest. After visiting Tengboche village, we move ahead to Monjo village through the rugged trails, suspension bridges, and lush forests. We reach Manjo village in the evening. Overnight in Monjo.

Today, after breakfast, we start our journey from a Monjo village. The challenging trek on the Himalayan train will be quite tiring because of our continuous walk. When we pass through the green surroundings of the valley and suspension bridges, that leads us back down to Lukla. Lukla is the ending point of the Everest region of the trek. Overnight in Lukla.

We take an early morning flight to Kathmandu to say good-bye to Lukla. After arriving in Kathmandu, we will transfer you to the hotel. Then, we will come to our office, and you might share your trekking experiences with us. We will have half a day of free time, then get ready to wander around Thamel. The lively city of Thamel is the major tourist attraction, where many sectors related to tourism are run. We participate in cultural events and taste authentic foods in the evening. Overnight in Kathmandu.

Today is your last day in Nepal. We transfer it to you at Tribhuvan International Airport just 3 hours before your scheduled flight for a safe landing in your sweet home. Thank you for visiting Nepal, and we hope you come back again.
