Everest View Trek will take trekkers through verdant forests, Sherpa localities, Yak Pastures, and farmlands. The Everest View Trek does not take a trekker to significant elevation, maxing at 3,963m/13,000ft (Everest View Hotel), but there is no compromise in adventure, natural wonders, and cultural offerings. This is a very safe trek, with very little chance of anyone getting altitude sickness. Tyangboche is the furthest point this trek will take you on the Everest Base Camp Trek trail.

Mount Everest View Trek also allows a visit to Hotel Everest View (3,963m/13,000ft) which holds the record for the 5-star hotel situated at the highest elevation on the planet.

Everest including Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, Amadablam, and other peaks from its balcony while sipping tea/coffee.

Sherpa people their culture, traditions, and lifestyle

Sherpa, the natives mostly living in higher altitude terrain just beneath the Himalayas of Nepal are one of the toughest people on the planet. They have been surviving and thriving in harsh climates of high altitude and rarefied atmosphere. In places where a regular person would find it difficult just to walk, Sherpa people do steep climbs without rest carrying rucksacks weighing more than 80 kg. It shows their physical endurance and strength. Similarly, their culture, and tradition which are heavily influenced by Tibetan culture are a spectacle to witness.

Their language, scripts, and lifestyle resemble Tibetan people. Most of the Sherpa people indulge in farming and animal husbandry. They cultivate crops like barley, millet, potatoes, etc. which are easier to grow and don’t need much irrigation. They also rear Yak and Chyangra known as mountain goats. The dairy products and fabrics made from animal fur are also the source of their income. Most of the guides and expedition leaders for mountain climbing are Sherpa, it’s one of the major income sources as well. Every household has at least one person who has done mountain climbing expeditions in the tall mountains of the Everest Region.

Conclusively, Sherpa people are fascinating and welcoming people. They are humble and respectful toward trekkers and visitors. There have been many instances when Sherpa guides saved the lives of fellow mountain climbers, indicating their kind hearts. We advise all the trekkers and climbers to respect their belief, faith, and their cultures. We request everyone to not offend them in any way, as they are just humans like us who have lived through adversities of tough geography, but with a heart of gold.
