Article Everest View Trek

The beginning is about the transfer to Lukla (2 850 m asl), starting point of the trek. The flight in a small plane itself over the green ridges is worth it, but the best is the landing on a short runway. There is not much to see in Lukla itself except for a few old houses. Therefore, if you arrive early, set out already the same day for a walk to Namche Bazar. The second day awaits you the rest of the walk to Namche Bazar. Almost the entire day you will be walking at below three thousand meters above sea level, but the final ascend will sure be very demanding (from Lukla in one day, which is ideal for those not having enough time). This part of the trek is the most crowded, because everyone must go this way back and forth. Namche Bazar (3 440 m asl) is already relatively high, so you may already feel the altitude. From there you need to think about acclimatization to avoid mountain sickness.
 

The next day awaits you one day outing around sherpa villages Khumjung and Khunde lying above Namche Bazaar. In addition, on the way from outlook place Everest View you will first see Everest, Lhotse and mythical Ama Dablam. Then finally follows a stage, when you separate from the crowds heading to Everest by the shortest possible route and head towards Thame situated in the valley of Bhote Koshi. Except for of our trek route, there are also two more significantly tougher ones – through dangerous pass Tesi Lapcha (5 755 m asl) to the valley Rolwaling and then to the pass Nangpa la (5 806 m asl), through which once led a trade route with salt to Tibet. Also, this way leads the trek through three passes as a very nice alternative to the classic walk to BC Everest. Moreover, in the vicinity of Thame, you can undertake a nice hike to the monastery or overcome himself and rise up to five thousand meters above sea level on top of Sunder Peak.
 

You can get back from Thame the same way through Namche Bazar or if you have still enough energy, then also in an alternative walk through place Kongde (4 250 m asl), from where you will have another nice view of Everest. If you are in a hurry, so you can get back to Kathmandu in two days, but more slowly it takes three days.
