- USD
Everest View trek through the Khumbu Valley, which is home to the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. We follow the traditional route up to Everest Base Camp on this journey. We fly into the valley at Lukla and hike up to Namche, which is home to the region’s largest monastery and offers a spectacular view of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other prominent Khumbu peaks. This short trek is the best way to see Everest and explore the famous valley without having to endure the rigours of trekking up to base camp for 14 days. If you’re short on time, this is a great alternative to our 14-day Everest base camp trek. Trek in the Khumbu for five days and see Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Kongde Ri, and Kusum Kanguru. The trek begins with a 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla’s airstrip. The next two days are spent hiking up the beautiful Dudh Kosi canyon to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital. The next morning, we will hike to Everest View Hotel for a spectacular view of Everest and Ama Dablam.

This is a fantastic trek in any case, and it will undoubtedly entice you to return to Nepal for more. The trek is suitable for those who do not want to walk all the way to Everest base camp but still want to get a closer look at Mt. Everest and the other Khumbu mountains, as well as learn more about the Sherpa culture.
This extraordinary 7-day trek includes a diverse range of breathtaking scenery as well as unique cultural experiences with the high-altitude region’s residents. Following a short but exciting flight from Kathmandu to the lovely village of Lukla 2800m, the journey continues directly to Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal’s second most popular trekking destination.
The trek takes you through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, which includes rhododendron forests, pine forests, and plenty of wildlife, to Namche Bazaar, a bustling market and the largest Sherpa settlement in the Everest region, where a day rest is required to acclimate to higher altitudes.
Overall, the Everest view trek is popular not only because of its closeness to the world’s highest mountain, but also because of its friendly Sherpa people, rich cultural diversity, charming villages, colourful festivals, and monasteries. This trek will give you a good understanding of Sherpa culture without putting you through the hardships of high altitude trekking.

Our training goal is to get you physically and mentally prepared to face the climb with more confidence. The climbing goal will be to perform consistently throughout the adventure. Fitness for mountaineering requires a high overall level of physical conditioning. Both cardiovascular and motor fitness are needed to climb at varying levels of intensity and to navigate challenging terrain, often while carrying a loaded pack and at high altitudes.
Training goals are critically important and allow you to perform better at higher altitudes and enjoy the entire adventure. We suggest that you examine the physical requirements of the climb you are approaching and work on your fitness in different levels. Click here to Learn more about Trip Grades and choose what’s best for you!
Establish a timeline for your training program and focus on specific conditioning for better results. Along with your workouts try and add hikes and climbs in the outdoors whenever possible to get more comfortable with different terrains. Sound fitness gained through a well-guided program is the only best way to ensure a safe and successful adventure.
Mountaineering Fitness and Training
It may also be helpful to break down your training timeline into a number of key phases. These are:
Phase 1 : Base physical fitness
The first phase of getting prepared for your climb is to focus on your base fitness. You should incorporate a fitness routine that focuses on both cardiovascular fitness and motor fitness training. For those who are not used to intense workouts this phase will help you to kickstart your training. Remember that consistency is the first most important factor in achieving any goal. Combine your basic fitness regimes along with running and stair climbing. You are now ready for outdoor adventures.
Phase 2 : Training specific for the climb
Once you have established your base physical fitness, you will need to train specifically for the climb. Depending on the difficulty and intensity of the climb, add advanced workout sessions combined with uphill training. Try and do the same fitness routines with some added loads. Strength training combined with cardiovascular and motor fitness will help with the overall conditioning. This will take your workouts to the next level and help gear up for the mountaineering challenge ahead.
Phase 3 : Outdoor Training
Nothing can replace training in the real outdoors. In the final phase of your training, you should be attempting climbs which are similar to the ones you are approaching. It is great to test your endurance outdoors. This gives you a great edge in preparing for conditions similar to the ones you will encounter during your expedition. It isn’t always possible to find similar terrains close to where you live, but it is best to find a hike as close to the climb as possible. This is the best way to test your climbing gears as well.
Training goals and timeline
Working out for at least 5 days in a week is the best way to get your body physically prepared for the climb ahead. Regular and consistent training always gives the best result and keeps you highly motivated. Make sure that you workout regularly and also give enough time for rest and recovery. Keep it balanced and have a properly planned fitness routine and never overdo exercises to the point of injury. While 2 to 3 months is a good amount of time to train, starting your training earlier allows more time to adjust and prepare.

Protrek Adventure was the company for my trekking trip in Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek via Gokyo. From the beginning responses to emails were fast and very satisfatory, done by Mr. Dawa Sherpa. Since arrival to Nepal till the time of leaving, the company (Sandeep and Viji) is taking a great care of the customer!
The entire trip was very well planned. The lodges on the trek were very nice with all needed services. Our stuff: guide Sandeep Rai and Karma Sherpa were extremely professional. It was really a pleasure to spent that time together with them. They were just there for us, ready to help when needed, sharing the knowledge about mountains/Himalayas/summits and what is the most important they always made sure that we follow the rules of safe trek and that our health/well being is super precious. Huge respect for that!
Thank you so much for this oportunity to #makedreamscometrue and to be a part of this wonderful journey in Himalayas!

The remote accompaniment in preparation for the trek was really very efficient, friendly and unconditional. In times of Covid19, demanding protocols must be complied with, which at Protrek knew how to guide us to arrive without problems.
At Protrek all the members are experts in what they do and they offered us a memorable experience, making the entire route very easy, enthusing and encouraging at all times, giving the security that one can reach EBC.

I had a great experience in the everest base camp trekking with Protrek. The trails are gorgeous, and Protrek’s staff (management, guides and porter) was professional and cheerful, offering valuable advice from planning to returning home.
