Trip Overview

4.1/5 - (41 votes)

The Short Everest Trek is an appropriate journey to the world’s highest national park, Sagarmatha National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 5-Day Everest Short Trek is one of the best options for visitors who want to view Mt. Everest in the least amount of time.

This trek is a good option for short-time travelers. If you want to trek in the Everest region of Nepal but are unsure of time constraints, a short Everest trek is for you! To find people and their lifestyle in the mountainous region of Nepal, follow the trail to reach Namche Bazaar, the popular trade center of the Everest region.

Namche Bazaar is not only the business center of the Everest region but also the gateway to Everest.

When you hike to the Everest View Hotel, you will be rewarded with views of the mountains in the Everest region, such as Mt.Everest (8,848m), Mt.Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Nuptse (7,855m), Mt. Thamserku (6,723m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6,856 m), and many other peaks in the Everest region. Imagine that you are experiencing the wilderness in the mountains with a cup of tea or coffee.

The trek begins with an exciting flight to Lukla. You have an amazing experience flying over a picturesque landscape with a view of parallel mountain views.

Start Short Everest Trek

Landing on a narrow runway in a dramatic area is scary but daring! Upon arriving at Lukla, you descend to the Dudhkoshi River and ascend to Phakding. Heading into the Rhododendron forests, we cross the suspension bridges over the Dudhkoshi River and enter Everest National Park.

We cross villages like Manju and Jorsale to reach Namche. One of the highlights of this trek is the tour of the museum with a photo gallery returning from Samboche Airport, Kunde Hospital, and Namche.

The Short Everest Trek is the easiest in Nepal’s Everest area.

Anyone with low physical endurance can opt out of this trek. Since it is at a low altitude, there is a very low risk of suffering from altitude sickness. It’s an easy trek on Everest with a mix of fun, adventure, and natural glory.

During this trek, you hike to Khumjung, which is considered the Sherpa capital of the Solukhumbu region and is a very large city by mountain parameters.

This can be the best choice if you have a short time and want to trek the Everest region.

Frequently asked questions about this trip

How difficult is the Short Everest Trek ?

The difficulty depends on where and how long you want to trek. The short trek is easy while the long trek requires some physical fitness.

What is altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness is normally known as acute mountain sickness. This can happen when people rapidly climb up to an altitude of more than 3000 meters. We ensure minimal risk by adding rest to our trekking itineraries. Most people will feel some effects of altitude, some shortness of breath and possibly light headache, this is normal enough. Acute mountain sickness patients are quite different and usually have a serious headache, sickness, and lose awareness. In almost all possible cases there are sufficient warning signs to take action properly. Descending to a lower altitude is usually enough to prevent any further problems.

What type of accommodation is available during the trekking?

There are mainly tea houses and lodges available for trekking and they are usually made using local materials and are very comfortable. These accommodations are often family-run and usually provide single and double rooms. The dining room is on the ground floor and is often on fire. All food will be cooked in order in the family kitchen. Toilet facilities are sometimes separate and sometimes outside. Most lodges provide mattresses and blankets. It's a good idea to always have a sleeping bag, which can be useful, and perhaps an inflatable pillow.

How long do we walk every day on trekking?

Trekking programs are classified into three different categories: soft, moderate and hard. Soft treks are only about 7 days to 10 days in duration. They generally do not go above 4000 meters; you can expect to walk about 4-5 hours each day. Moderate treks are challenging enough and long treks that go to the high hill country. Physically exhausting, this involves trekking along the cliffs of the mountains for about 6-8 hours. Harder treks are longer treks that go farther away from the general abode of trekkers and tourists. These physically challenging treks involve walking for 7- 9 hours each day.

How much weight do I need to carry on the Short Everest Trek ?

You carry some of your personal belongings, such as warm clothing, water, snacks, sun block, cameras and more. Generally, these items will be lightweight, from 5 to 10kg (10 to 20 pounds). Our porters are available for other heavy goods and for your information one porter would be sharing by two people. The maximum weight carried by one porter is total 20 kg. this means 10 kg. per person is allowed for the trek. In case if you wish to carry more than this weight then you need to hire additional porters.

What is the best time for trekking in Nepal?

October and November are considered as the best times for trekking in Nepal due to dry season. December and January are also considered good times for trekking but it is extremely cold at high altitudes.
