As a trekker, you need to be aware of your safety, covid protocols, and the weather conditions of the place you are traveling to. We recommend some of the best times for the Everest View Trek.
The best times for the Everest View Trek are spring and autumn. These are the favorite season of all Nepalese and hikers as well.
The spring season lies in the month of March-May. In these months, the weather is warm; the skies will be apparent, highlighting the picturesque mountain peaks. Unlike the winter and monsoon seasons, you won't face harsh cold weather or rainfall in these seasons.
Next, we suggest the autumn season in September-November. These months can be described as relaxing, clear, and breezy. Hikers can get the most out of these months, as the hike will be cool, and one can enjoy the beautiful weather and the majestic snow-capped mountains.

Trek to Phakding with an arresting, green landscape with the view of Kusum Kangraru. Overnight at Guesthouse, breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
We follow the Dudh Koshi, ascending through Himalayan pine and cedar forests, to the celebrated village of Namche Bazaar. The village of Namche is a historic trading post where Nepalese and Tibetan traders exchange salt, dried meat and textiles.
Besides being a splendid destination to shop for traditional crafts, Namche remains the central trading post in the Khumbu that attracts Himalayan and lowland merchants. You will spend two days at Namche for acclimatization, visit local markets and spend time with your team. On the hike we capture our first glimpses of Everest and neighboring peaks.

The uniform and easy trail leads us towards the view of Mount Everest, descending deep into the Dudh Koshi Valley at Pungki Thanka and from this point, it ascends the right flank of the Dudh Koshi valley to Tengboche Monastery (3860m). It is the spiritual center of the Khumbu. The climb is lengthy, but is more than adequately compensated by gorgeous views of Mount Amadablam and on a clear day, views of Mt. Everest and its surrounding peaks.
Descend Pungki Thanka and complete steep to Kyangjuma, and easier trail to Namche.
