The Everest View Trek, also known as the Tengboche Trek, is a pleasurable alpine trek that reaches a maximum height of 3860 m. The highlights of this trek are the Sherpa villages, the monastery, the mountain views, and the eco-hiking. The Tengboche trek starts from Lukla (2,840 m) and passes through Namche Bazaar, a beautiful Sherpa village.
Tengboche is a popular place because of its big monastery and viewpoint. Along the way, we will encounter many Yaks and Jopkyos (crossbred cow and yak), which are the major means of transportation in this region. We will find many types of Himalayan trees and wildlife in this region, such as Chir pine, Blue pine, Juniper, different types of rhododendron, and many kinds of herbs and flowers. We may well have sightings of spectacular birds like the Impheyan Pheasant (national bird of Nepal), Crimson-horned Pheasant, Golden Eagle, etc., and animals like musk deer (rare animal in the world) and Himalayan Tahr (a large mountain ungulate), among others.
The Everest region is the home of the Sherpa people and is geographically unique. We will pass through many Sherpa villages, where we will get the opportunity to learn about their daily activities, people, and culture. Along the way, we will also see Buddhist monuments, prayer flags, Stupas, Chortens, Monasteries, temples, prayer wheels, and memorial places. Merging together the natural beauty of the Himalayas and cultural ethos of the local Sherpa community, this trek creates unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
