Mt. Everest is the number one goal of almost every trekker coming to Nepal. But a full trek into the region can often take a long time. The Everest Mini Trek is the ideal trek that takes you into the very heart of the Sherpa community while experiencing the amazing views of Mt. Everest.

This trip is designed for 11 days, with two days assigned for exploring Kathmandu; the capital city with many historical places.

The trek begins on the second day of your trip as you reach Phakding from Lukla. The next day, you will arrive at the cultural and administrative capital of the Sherpa people; the village of Namche Bazar. The village offers good restaurants and wonderful accommodations. Here, you will get an acclimatisation day before heading to Tengboche. All throughout your trek, you will witness the beauty of not only Mt. Everest, but also other incredible snow capped peaks like Ama Dablam and Lhotse.

An extra day is planned in the itinerary because of the unpredictable weather conditions at the Lukla Airport. If the weather cooperates, then we fly back as planned originally and go for a short Kathmandu tour.

The Everest Mini Trek is not a difficult one and is ideal for travellers on a limited time schedule. But your physical condition must not be overlooked.

It will be a trek concerning high altitudes but you can trust Nepal Tibet Tours and Treks as we do not compromise on your safety and comfortability. Make sure to talk to your representative at Nepal Tibet Tours and Treks about this incredible trip. Our experienced and qualified guides will assist you on your excellent adventure.

Note:
The following program can be tailor made as per your request. We can adjust the program as per your time and interest. Activities such as Rafting, visit to Chitwan National Park, Paragliding in Pokhara, Jeep flyer, Mountain flight in Kathmandu, etc can be customised in your trip. We can use the morning 8 am flight to Pokhara, which only takes 30 minutes and we can make a short trip to Pokhara after the Everest Trekking. Please do not hesitate to write to us about your interests and concerns; we will make the itinerary to fit your needs.
