I recently did the trek to Everest View Trek, and it was the perfect choice for my first time in the mountains. I was nervous at first, but it turned out to be much easier than I thought. The trek is short, taking about 5 to 7 days, and the highest point is Tengboche at 3,867 meters (12,687 feet). That means there’s less risk of altitude sickness compared to longer treks like Everest Base Camp. I walked about 4 to 6 hours a day, which felt just right.

The trail is well-marked and not too steep. I passed through pretty villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar, and Khumjung. The views of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, and other peaks were amazing. I still remember the morning I saw the mountains glowing in the sun from the Everest View Hotel. According to Nepal Tourism Board, this trek is growing in popularity among beginners and families because it’s easy, safe, and still offers amazing views.

I met kind people along the way, ate warm meals in cozy teahouses, and felt peaceful the whole time. If you are healthy, can walk slowly, and enjoy nature, you can do this trek too. The trek to Everest View Trek gave me confidence, joy, and memories I will never forget. It’s a great way to start your journey in the Himalayas.
