Overview
Mount Everest View Treks 5 days itinerary
The Everest View Trek is specifically designed for travelers with limited time to explore the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Valley on a longer trek. This 5-day Everest View Trek offers a remarkable panorama of Mount Everest (8848m) and other Himalayan mountains in the Everest region. The itinerary includes short hikes from Lukla to Namche Bazaar and a visit to the Khumjung Sherpa village, where you can witness the majestic peak of Mount Everest and countless other mountain ranges. The views are truly awe-inspiring. However, if you have more time available, I recommend extending your trek to the Everest Base Camp or Gokyo Valley Trek for an even more breathtaking experience as you ascend to higher altitudes. This is the real essence of Nepal’s panorama.
The Everest View Trek, also known as the 5-day short trek to see Everest, provides an opportunity to witness the spectacular views of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Kongde Ri, and Kusum Kanguru from Namche Bazaar and Everest View Lodge. Additionally, you can explore the charming Sherpa villages of Thame, Khunde, and Khumjung, as well as the vibrant town of Namche Bazaar.

The Saturday market, as the name suggests, is a vibrant marketplace that offers a wide range of climbing equipment for sale every morning. It also serves as a meeting place, attracting traders from Tibet and the local areas who sell various goods such as soap, butter, vegetables, and other regional products. If you are interested in an exciting day of shopping during your Everest View Trek, Saturday is the best day to visit Namche Bazaar, explore the shopping center, and browse through the bustling local market.
Additionally, Namche Bazaar is one of the final destinations of the Everest View Trek. The village standing in a horseshoe-shaped bowl, offering a breathtaking view of the sheer face of Kongde. When you walk up to the viewpoint above the village, you will catch your first glimpse of Everest. The ambiance of Namche Bazaar immerses you in the heart of the mountains.
