Start datesSee Everest without the high altitude. This week-long trek flies into Lukla and climbs to Namche Bazaar, the Everest View Hotel (3,880 m) and the monastery at Tengboche, with close views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku along the way. Days are shorter and the trek stays below 4,000 m, so it suits first-time trekkers, families with older children and anyone short on time. The trip starts and ends in Kathmandu.
