Trip Overview
Trekkers who want to experience the legendary Sherpas’ home and place of worship can spend 14 days in the Everest Base Camp Short Trek. Sightseeing in Kala Patthar, Namche Bazaar, Sagarmatha National Park, and Everest Base Camp are all included in the adventure. Hikers will pass near four of the world’s six highest peaks and come to Tengboche Monastery, the tallest monastery in the Khumbu region. All necessary permissions and equipment are included in the trip from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the trek starts. For those who have limited time and desire facilities comparable to the 16-day trek, this trek is an excellent choice. Novice trekkers who are in good health and average physical fitness may pick the gentler 12-day Everest View Trek, while experienced hikers who want more of a challenge may opt to consider the 18-day Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Lakes.
