A short trek based on comfortable lodges is a pleasant way of experiencing the cultural and natural traits of Everest National Park, which enlists the national park as a UNESCO Heritage site.
The 5-day Everest experience trek goes up to Namche Bazaar, allowing you to visit Sherpa villages with panoramic views of Mt Everest and other spectacular peaks. The charming Sherpa villages offer ample accommodations, ranging from simple homestays to luxury lodges with hot showers, warm dining, and scrumptious food. Availability of boutique luxury lodges makes your experience even better.
For those not comfortable to fly in and out of Lukla, a trek to Pikey Peak is the popular short alternative trek. Mt Everest from Pikey Peak (4,067 m) is only about 40 miles away as the crow flies. Mesmerized by the view, Sir Edmund Hilary once said, “Pikey Peak is the most astounding place to gaze at Mt Everest.”
The trek dwells into the lower Everest region with fewer tourists and gives great insight into the Sherpa culture and the Himalayan view of the Everest region from its foothills. Comfortable weather throughout the winter with no worries of flight cancellation (no flight required) and relatively lower budget make the trek one of the best ways to see Mt Everest.
9 day trek to Everest base camp based on luxury and comfortable lodges with helicopter flight back. Stay in the most scenic lodges with hot showers and warm and comfy beds.
Because of travel restrictions and permit/visa regulations, it is most popular to organize Tibet tours with the Everest north base camp tour from Kathmandu. You either join the 8-day fixed departure tour that leaves every Saturday from Kathmandu or organize a private tour. The driving tour enters Tibet from the Kerung border in the north of Kathmandu and then cruises through the plateau overlooking the Himalayas. Spend a night at Rongbuk monastery at 4,980 m and admire the spectacular view of Mt Everest. The tour then visits the cultural sights of Shigatse, Gyantse, and Lhasa, and then flies back to Kathmandu.
Flying to Lhasa and then driving to the Everest north base camp gives you more time to acclimatize.Enjoy the untouched culture and heritage of two Himalayan countries, this May. May is end of Spring touring season for the Himalayas. But the varying altitude makes May the best time to do this tour of Nepal and Bhutan.
Visit Everest national park based on luxury lodges and enjoy the best scenery and Himalayan culture. Enjoy the active walking holiday with warm, clean and comfortable accommodation for the night to rejuvenate yourself.
