The luxury Everest View trek delivers the essence of trekking in the Himalayas without compromising the service and comfort. Your trip will be wrapped in exceptional service, beautiful landscapes, the rich cultural heritage of the Sherpa community, and iconic mountain vistas.

The luxury Everest View trek offers a perfect balance of adventure and comfort. If you want to visit the Everest region without sacrificing modern conveniences and wilderness, the luxury Everest View trek, 9 days, is a perfect package for you.

The luxury Everest View trek is short, but not hurried. We have meticulously planned this itinerary to present an impressive journey to our travelers in the Everest region. You will get ample opportunity to indulge in a remote mountain lifestyle.

The journey begins in Kathmandu, where you will unravel Nepalese heritage, culture, traditions, art, and architecture. Explore ancient temples, palaces, courtyards, and stupas before you begin your adventurous venture into the Himalayas.

We will hand-pick a 5-star property in Kathmandu where you will enjoy international standard service that perfectly blends Nepalese hospitality and heritage. To keep up with the comfort, we make sure you have a seamless transition from the city to the mountains.

Instead of the standard Lukla flight, you will take a helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The flight offers an incredible aerial view of Kathmandu city and the eastern Himalayan range. You will fly above beautiful river valleys and terraced hillsides before touching down in Lukla.

The trek

The trek begins from Lukla. Following the Dudh Koshi River, you will gradually descend to Phakding village. You will spend your first night in Phakding village in one of the finest properties of Yeti Mountain Homes.

The following day unfolds a challenging hike to Namche Bazaar, the heart of the Everest Region. The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River and goes through rhododendron and pine-covered hills.

Between Lukla and Namche Bazaar, you will cross several suspension bridges. As you begin to get close to Namche Bazaar, the trail gets steep. It will be an adventurous hike.

The rhythm of life is very different in Namche Bazaar. It is vibrant but also very calming. The streets are busy in the peak trekking season. However, there is also a very unusual comforting sense of peace.

After Namche Bazaar, you will hike to Hotel Everest View. It will be another incredible hike packed with breathtaking views of Mt. Thamserku. The main highlight of the luxury Everest View trek unravels once you arrive at the Hotel Everest View.

Every room of this legendary hotel offers a view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam, and Mt. Nuptse. Likewise, Mt. Thamserku is also visible. A night stay at this hotel is a true privilege, as there are only 12 rooms available, and securing a reservation can be difficult.

You will have a great time at Hotel Everest View. Enjoy the premium services offered by this place and have a rejuvenating time. The following day, you will begin trekking back to Lukla. It will be two days of hiking with a night stay in Monjo.
