The 5-Days Short Everest Trek presents a compact package for an exciting experience in the Everest region for those who get fascinated by the visitation of the core of the Himalayas, having little time. The thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla brings you right into the midst of one of the most breathtaking mountain sceneries in the world, with its dramatic landscape. From here, it winds its way via waterfalls, villages, and forests and then along to the Dudh Koshi River to the peaceful village of Phakding, where you'll stay for your first night amidst giant peaks and nature.
The following day, you start on a journey of imposing climbing to Namche Bazaar, busy village and the gateway to Mt. Everest. In this bustling town, the economic and cultural centre of the Khumbu Region, it is possible for trekkers to observe the traditional culture of the Sherpa community. You will catch glimpses of the great mountains while climbing up the steep trail and will be constantly motivated because every step brings you closer and closer to the towering giants of the Himalayas.
A day is taken for exploring Namche Bazaar and its surroundings-trek to the Everest View Hotel, from where stunning panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam can be viewed. You will be taken to Khumjung/Khunde Hospital, which was established by Sir Edmund Hillary, basically for the local people to receive better health services. Later today, in the afternoon, you will delve deep into the culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people; you will get enough time to experience the rich heritage and traditions of the area.
After the end of the trek, you head back to Lukla-down the beautiful trails and forests, passing villages that have left their imprints on your journey. Finally, unparalleled views from Lukla all the way back to Kathmandu conclude your trek, chiseling deeply into your memory the mountains, the Sherpa people, and the beauty of the Everest region.
Though short, this trek encompasses five days of adventure taken to the fullest, culture, and nature-what one would rightfully call an introduction to the Khumbu Valley. This is the perfect opportunity to view Mount Everest in its grandeur, along with nearby peaks, and further the insight into the lives of the people who call this awesome region home.
