Great alternative for those who don’t have enough time to trek to base camp as Everest View Trek offer incredible view of Everest from Tengboche. As trek end on famous monastery of Tengboche, people also call this trekking as Tengboche Trek or Everest Panorama Trek. Since trek does not last more than eight days it is also known as Everest Short Trek. It is suitable for kind of age group from kids to old aged people because the maximum elevation encountered during Everest View Trek is 3960 m at famous monastery of Tengboche from where we will take simple U turn and retrace back to Lukla, further fly back to Kathmandu.
