Everest Sunrise Trek is the short and best trekking to see Mount Everest. The 7 days trek to the Everest region is also widely popular as Everest View Trek too, designed for travelers having limited time and desire to see Mount Everest. The trek goes up to Tengboche- one of the best Everest viewpoints in the Khumbu region. Starting with a scenic flight to Lukla, the trek offers travelers to explore Namche Bazar- The Sherpa Capital and the gateway to EverestExpedition, and then to 16th century-old Tengboche Monastery which is the biggest Buddhist monastery in the Everest region. This monastery offers fascinating views of sunrise and sunset in the Himalayas. Everest View Trekking is a teahouse trekking on Everest. The maximum elevation, you will get during the trek is 3,870 meters (12696.85 ft) above the sea level at Tengboche. The best time for Everest Sunrise Trek is in Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). Trekking on Everest in Winter is relatively fine, but the weather is a big challenge because the cold and cloudy months of the Monsoon are not considered a good time as it rains heavily and disrupts the trail. Because of the heavy clouds, we can't see the beautiful view of the mountains. The walking trail is much muddy and the chances of landslides are high. Lukla flight schedules are disrupted frequently because of low visibility.

With an early morning flight, you will fly to Lukla in a twin-otter plane. The view from the plane is mesmerizing as you will see green hills with terraced farming and the distant Mighty Himalayas. Upon landing, you will meet your porters and the Sherpas. Then your first step toward the mighty Everest begins. On this day, you will trek up to Pkahding passing a small settlement of the Sherpas, Dhaurikharka. Then you will descend towards the Dudhkoshi Ghat. The trail is accompanied by the roaring Dudhkoshi river up to Phakding. Phakding is a small settlement lying on the bank of the Dudhkoshi river. This relatively easy and short trek will take approximately 5 hours. We will spend our night there at Phakding.
Grab an early morning breakfast, then start the hike up to Namche Bazar. The trail to Namche Bazar is mostly uphill. You will encounter many high-suspension bridges while crossing the Dudhkoshi river. From the Hilary suspension bridge, you can see the first glimpse of the mighty Everest. The ever-ascending trail will lead you to Namche Bazar also called the Gateway to Everest. The day is moderately hard which mostly requires an uphill walk. It will take 6 hours to reach Namche Bazar from Phakding. Though being in the remote section of the country, Namche Bazar offers you all the facilities in Kathmandu from modern German and French bakeries to Irish Pub, high-speed internet, etc. Enjoy the night at Namche Bazar. Overnight at Namche.
After breakfast, you will be hiking to Syanboche- The Everest View Point. The hike is of around ninety minutes to the top. The hill offers 360 views of mountains including Mount Everest itself. Spending an amazing moment up the viewpoint you will trek back to Namche for lunch. After lunch, you can explore the amazing city of Namche, enjoy the Sherpa culture, appreciate the moment with Sherpas, pay a visit to Sherpa Museum, etc. You will stay overnight at Namche.
Another amazing day in the trip, you will go by an eastern ridge with views of rhododendron forest and descend through the forest. Take a breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, and many other tall mountains. On your way, you will cross Dudh Koshi River along with spectacular views of Thamserku and Amadablam and after that, you will ascend uphill which will eventually lead you to the Buddhist land. You might see Himalayan Thar and Himalayan Pheasants along the way. After 5 hours of trek, you will reach Tengboche Village lying at an altitude of 3867 m above sea level. If you are lucky, you may encounter the Mani Rimdu festival in the monastery. This festival is held in November every year. This gives the everlasting experience of the dancing of monks wearing masks. The festival is very important in the region. Tengboche Monastery is the largest monastery in the Khumbu region. Enjoy the stunning sunset view from Tengboche. Stay overnight at a local teahouse in Tengboche.
Waking up early, you will be able to see a panoramic picture of sunrise kissing the snow-capped mountains of the Everest region. Retrace further back to Namche Bazar. The way back to Namche is mostly downhill and easy. You will cross Phungitenga. The trail onwards is relatively flat. You can explore The Everest National Park Museum which houses many mountaineering and Himalayan artifacts. Trekking down the same way back offers the same beautiful views of local settlements along with the amazing Himalayan views. Passing through many villages of different ethnic groups of people offers a chance to explore their daily living styles and traditional values. Overnight stay at Namche Bazar.
On the final trekking day, you will follow the same way back via Dudh Koshi Riverbank. In the evening, celebrate the successful trekking with the crews.

Trekking in the Himalayas is never easy. Everest Panorama/Sunrise Trek is not an exception. This trek is categorized as moderately difficult in terms of difficulty grading. But at the same time, it depends on the physical and mental attitude of the trekkers. However, anyone willing to do this trek and who has a normal physical condition can do this trek. The trail is suitable for those who can hike for 4-6 hours a day. Since the trail runs mostly through high altitudes, it is more physically demanding. Though no technical skills are required for this trek as you will be trekking through constructed trails all the time. It is recommended for all the trekkers to involve in some physical activities like jogging, and hiking for a week. Although prior experience in high-altitude hiking is recommended, you don't need to worry if it is your first trek. We will prepare your itinerary according to your choice. Add more stops in between treks, add an extra rest day for acclimatization, etc.
