A great trek for the novice or weekend hiker who wants to enjoy the unrivaled views and Sherpa hospitality of the Khumbu region without enduring the stresses of high altitudes and extreme temperatures. This easy trek begins with a dramatic mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, from where we begin the journey, stopping at Phakding and following the Dudh Khosi river to the region’s major commerce center at Namche Bazaar. We’ll visit several Sherpa villages and enjoy spectacular views of peaks like Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Mt. Everest. The famous monastery awaits us at Thengboche, with an option to climb to the valley’s highest settlement at Pengboche. For a journey that’s tall on spectacular views and culture, and short on the rigors of trekking at high altitude, this is a great chance to take in the Khumbu region’s wonders at a relaxed and easy pace.

Trip Notes
This trekking route has been chosen with attention to preventing AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) through adequate time for acclimatization via a gradual ascent. With this in mind, know that trekking to Everest base camp will prove to be strenuous, involving an average 7 hours daily of walking on varying terrain at high altitudes. The best seasons for this trek are Spring (Mar – May) and Autumn (Sep – Nov), providing for sunny days and cold (but not freezing) nights. Keep in mind that these are obviously the seasons with the most traffic on the trails. The winter and summer seasons will appeal to those who yearn for a more private experience. Winter season (late Dec – Feb) can bring some beautifully crisp days, but the temperatures can be well below freezing at higher altitudes. Summer season (Jun – Jul) is usually doused in monsoon rain, but the vegetation will be exceptionally lush.
