Everest Base Camp Rapid Trek

The Everest View Trek is not just a chance to witness the views of the Everest peak from afar. It is a perfect opportunity to witness the views of the spectacular highest peak in the world up close. There have been previous attempts at using the Everest View Trek as a chance to witness the top of the mountain from far away from Namche Bazaar. However, you can only claim that you have actually witnessed the view of the highest peak in the world, once you reach its base camp and witness the spectacle from close up. We offer you just that, and with an experienced group of guides and porters to help you on the way.

• Witness the views and explore the base camp of the mighty Everest

• Amalgamate with ethnic populations residing all through the Khumbu region.

• Unveil the mystery of Khumbu region by passing through an off-beaten path.

• Highest altitude covered is the Kalapathhar (5545m)
