Everest Short trek is ideal for all those who wish to enjoy the majestic beauty of the Everest region but have limited time at hand. This trek offers spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and many other numerous peaks.
Everest short trek is a moderate trek that also gives you an opportunity to explore the culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people living in the Khumbu region.
You begin your trek from Lukla following a gentle climb up the mountainside on the left bank of the Dudh Koshi River. Nupla (5885m) which can be seen in the distance on the opposite bank, is a peak atop the Kongde Ridge. You descend a mountainside path that merges into your route to Everest, with views to a valley to your right; and at its far end, Kusum Kang (6367m.) Stay overnight at lodge.
Namche Bazaar (3440m) is surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges and opens out only where it faces the Bhote Koshi. Stay overnight at lodge.
It is an ideal place to spend a rest day for acclimatization to the high altitude before heading off towards Tyangboche. For acclimatization you walk up to Khhumjung where you can visit a monastery. You can also enjoy the splendid views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde and so on. Or you can take an hour's walk up to Syangboche (3800m.) where Everest View Hotel is situated above Namche for outstanding views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kusum Kangaru. Stay overnight at lodge.
The last day of your trek leads from Namche Bazaar via Monjo to Lukla. The trek is pleasant, except for few short uphill climbs and then down to the Bhote- Koshi River crossing it three times. The last uphill climb of 45 minutes will bring you to Lukla for your overnight stay.
You take an early morning flight back to Kathmandu. Stay overnight at hotel in Kathmandu.

Having arrived in Nepal, first stop to book a trek. Friends of ours had visited in January and highly recommended " Nepal Environmental". We found the agency most informative and professional and booked a 6 day trek on the spot. To summarise, the scenery and trek was fantastic, the organization of it all, superb and our guide/ friend brilliant!
