Most Asked Questions by Travellers
For those who are not feeling it for a long hike or have a limited time and yet want to enjoy the magnificent presence of the Himalayas, the short Everest Base Camp trek is for you. You can accomplish this journey in between 7 and 10 days, depending on whether you want a heli return.
This journey starts and ends at Lukla, which is the gateway to the Everest region. As you are in Lukla, you will pass through the major destinations such as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and finally to the Everest Base Camp.
Altogether, this trip will help you immerse yourself in the Sherpas’ authentic culture and experience their day-to-day life. Alongside it, you will also get to acknowledge the Buddhist and Tibetan traditions and practices.
You will also walk through the World Heritage Site, the Sagarmatha National Park and experience up close to Mount Everest’s highest peak.
If you are thinking of embarking on this journey, the best time of the year is during Spring (March, April, and May) or Autumn (September, October, and November).
That sounds unreal, but you can see Mount Everest from some of Kathmandu’s viewpoints. You will get a tiny top glimpse of the mighty snow-clad peak during the clear days of the spring and autumn seasons.
Now, as we end this debate once and for all, the view of Everest depends on your efforts to drive yourself to the viewpoints. Some popular high places for the view are Chandragiri Hills and Nagarkot. Another good news is that both viewpoints are only a day hike and have road access if you want to drive there.
On the southwest side of the Kathmandu Valley, Chandragiri Hills (at 2,540 meters) is only 16 km away. You can also ride a cable car to reach the viewpoint. From here, you will get a mesmerizing view of Everest alongside the Annapurna ranges. It is one of the most loved day trips for sightseeing.
Moving on, if you travel 30 km to the northern side of the Kathmandu Valley, you will reach Nagarkot (2,195 meters). It is one of the most loved hiking spots and will give views of the Annapurna, Ganesh, Langtang, Jugal, Rolwaling, Manaslu, and Everest ranges.
The best thing about Everest Base Camp is that even a novice traveler can scale it. If you attempt the route in pleasant weather with moderate stamina, it will be an easy journey.
