Everest View 7 Day Trek Itinerary
Day 1
Kathmandu: Arrival Day
Welcome to Kathmandu, the capital and cultural hub of Nepal! We’ll be waiting with a warm greeting and easy transfer to your hotel. Plan on an evening briefing on last-minute specifics about your trek and an early lights-out: you have a big day ahead.
Day 2
Kathmandu to Lukla Flight and Phakding
After a short morning flight to Lukla, you'll be introduced to your guide and porter. Kick off your trek with an easy walk through Chaurikharka village and descent towards Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m/8,300ft). The trail follows the bank of the Dudhkoshi River until Phakding (2,652m/8,700ft), where we will be staying for the night to acclimatize. Enjoy your free time in Phakding, a popular stopping point. Lukla Flights are departing and returning to Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu due to ongoing upgrades at Kathmandu Airport. Its about a 4 hour drive to Ramechhap from Kathmandu so we will get started for the airport around 2 am. The return drive at the end of the trek is between 4 and 6 hours depending on traffic.
Day 3
Phakding to Namche Bazaar
We'll have breakfast in Phakding before gearing up for the trek to Namche Bazaar, the biggest sherpa village in Nepal. Our trail takes us first over the Dudhkoshi River via a long suspension bridge, and then through a beautiful pine forest to Monjo, about two hours away. Soon thereafter, we will approach the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park for a brief permit check and then descend to Dudh Kosi River (spotting Mani stones along the way!) en route to Jorsale. Lunch will be served here, and then it's uphill to Namche. Our path along the riverbank is flanked by two crossings, one of which is the Hillary Suspension Bridge. It’s a tough climb up the hill to our resting place, but you'll be rewarded in Namche Bazaar with your first glimpse of Everest in its majesty.
Day 4
Namche Bazaar - Day Hike (Khunde/Khumjung and Everest View Hotel)
We leave early for the hike up to the Everest View Hotel about an hour’s hike above Namche for a fantastic panorama of the Himalayas and a great view of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. After enjoying the view and relaxing with a hot coffee we continue to the traditional Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung . If you get a chance ask your guide to take you to the Khumjung Monastery which houses the scalp of what's said to be a Yeti. Leaving the villages we circle back to Namche via the small airstrip at Shyangboche.
Day 5
Namche to Phakding and Lukla
After breakfast, we trek toward the Hillary Suspension Bridge and then pass through several local villages. Our arrival in Lukla brings an evening in our last Tea House and, traditionally, a party with your trekking crew: you made it! Thanks to great teamwork and perseverance, you’ve accomplished a physical feat of which others only dream. This is your last night on the mountain, which can be bittersweet.
Day 6
Lukla to Kathmandu
In the morning, you'll hop a brief flight from Lukla to Kathmandu (See Note), where your journey both began and ends. You'll transfer to your hotel upon landing for some much-needed solo rest and reflection after your trek conquering the Himalayas. We'll reunite in the evening for a farewell dinner at one of the best Nepalese restaurants in town, where we'll be eager to hear your feedback on the trip. Lukla Flights are departing and returning to Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu due to ongoing upgrades at Kathmandu Airport. Its about a 4 to 6 hour drive from Ramechhap back to Kathmandu depending on traffic.
Day 7
Kathmandu: Departure Day
It's your last day in Nepal! Grab some breakfast, and then take in some last-minute shopping in Kathmandu. We'll make sure you arrive at Kathmandu International Airport with plenty time before your flight home. At this time, we'll say our goodbyes and bid you farewell, armed with warm memories and gorgeous photos to show your loved ones. END OF OUR SERVICES All distances and time estimates are approximate.

Everest View 7 Day Trek Questions
How challenging is the Everest View Trek for a typical trekker?
The Everest View Trek is graded Moderate - you'll be walking steadily for several hours most days - manageable for anyone with some hiking background, though not one to attempt cold.
How many days does the complete Everest View Trek take?
The full Everest View Trek itinerary runs 7 Days, which includes built-in acclimatization time rather than rushing straight up - the extra days matter more than they might seem to on paper.
When is the best season to experience the Everest View Trek?
Autumn and Spring are when most people go, and for good reason - skies are clearest, trails are driest, and the mountain views the trek is built around actually show up.
How high does the Everest View Trek take you?
The Everest View Trek tops out at 3,880m. The itinerary is paced to get you there gradually rather than quickly, which is the difference between a good trip and a miserable one at that height.
What local culture and communities will you experience on the Everest View Trek?
You'll pass through Sherpa villages the whole way, sharing tea-house meals and overnight stops with families who've called these valleys home for generations.
