A Peek at Everest
One of the shortest itineraries in the Everest Region, this trek provides you with an opportunity to view the worlds tallest mountains
This short trek that takes you up to 3860m at Tengboche, offers an opportunity to view the World's tallest mountain, Everest, which stands at a lofty 8848m. It also takes you to other fabled destinations in the region, like Namche Bazaar and Lukla.
Perfect for those who are a bit starved of time, but wish to still go to the bucket list destination thats Everest, for trekkers.
The trek is by no means too easy, as we have to go above the 3000m mark, usually the zone where altitude starts kicking in. However, the itinerary is slow enough to allow for adequate acclimatization.

We remain in Namche today for proper acclimatization. But the walk over the ridges in the morning will reward you with stunning views of the mountains: Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Thamserku, Amadablam, Tobuche, Kusumkangru, Kwongde and many more than you can remember in a day. Also you can stroll around the market area where you will see the Tibetan traders selling their goods brought from Tibet crossing over the Nangpa la pass.

As we come out of the village bowl, we contour the high trail above the Imja Khola. The views are incredible. Chomolungma (Mother Goddess of Snow) is truly a magnificent sight. And a small ridge across the valley, Tengboche can be seen against the gigantic mountains. Also the wildlife like the Himalayan Thar and Danphe (National bird of Nepal) are likely to be seen on the way.

I am usually never in the office, and my colleagues call me the Tourist. I think strategically, and align the company to the future. I enjoy developing new experiences the most, and of course nothing can beat leading a group on a unique journey through Nepal. Uh Oh I forgot, I would rather be in the mountains!
