Is there a risk of altitude sickness during the Everest View Trek?

Compared with other famous treks in the Everest region like Everest, Base Camp Trek, Three Pass Trek, Gokyo Chola Pass Trek, Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek, and Island EBC Trek, the Everest View Trek is a less challenging and moderately difficult trekking trail. Due to its elevation and location, there is very little chance of getting altitude sickness. The Everest View Trek provides a brief and exhilarating adventure suitable for individuals of all ages, including beginners and families with children. Notably, every day you have to walk about 10 to 15 km along uphill and downhill which is why it requires reasonable fitness and good health. The elevation gain from Phakding (2610m) to Tengboche (3860m) occurs over 3 days of walking from Lukla to Tengboche. This trek offers a diverse experience, combining cultural immersion with the natural beauty of high-altitude landscapes. It is an ideal choice for those who wish to admire Mount Everest and other peaks from Namche and Tengboche without reaching the Everest Base Camp Trek.

Is it possible to undertake the Everest View Trek without a guide?

Yes, you can complete the trek to Everest View independently. However, traveling with a guide is highly recommended due to the challenging terrain and the complexities involved in navigating the route. Trekking alone can lead to significant stress regarding navigation, accommodation, and other logistics, which may detract from your overall experience. A guide can handle arrangements for your lodging, meals, and other essentials in advance. Additionally, they can provide assistance in case any issues arise during your journey. For these reasons, we strongly advise trekking with a guide.

Yes, direct flights are available during the off-season months of December, January, February, June, July, and August. However, during the peak trekking season, which spans September, October, November, March, April, and May, direct flights are not offered due to increased air traffic. In this case, travelers must first reach Ramechhap Airport by road and then take a flight to Lukla, repeating the same route for the return journey. If you plan to travel during the busy season, be prepared for a 130 km journey from Kathmandu to Manthali Airport, which typically takes 4 to 5 hours.

How can I get to Ramechhap Airport from Kathmandu?

The easiest method to travel from Kathmandu to Ramechhap is by land transport. Shared and private vehicles are the primary means of transportation. The package includes shared vehicles that depart from Kathmandu at midnight, ensuring you arrive in time for morning flights, which are typically scheduled for better weather conditions. Alternatively, if you prefer a private vehicle, this option is not part of the package. For those interested in booking a private jeep, please reach out to our local trip planners at Himalayan Trekking Path for the best rates.

Tipping Culture:

Tipping is a common practice in the tourism industry in Nepal. When utilizing airport transportation services, it is customary to leave a tip for the driver. Similarly, when dining for lunch or dinner, it is expected to show appreciation by leaving a tip for the staff. This practice also applies to trekking guides, tour guides, climbing guides, and porters. The amount of the tip is discretionary and should reflect your satisfaction with the service received.
