Unlike the regular tea house trek, this tour offers more comfortable lodges akin to 3-4* category city hotels. The amalgamation of these upscale lodges and the breathtaking Himalayan scenery renders this trek an appealing option for individuals in search of a less strenuous yet fulfilling experience, distinct from the challenging Everest Base Camp Trek. This particular trek strikes a harmonious balance between the serenity of nature and the luxury of comfort. It’s an ideal choice for hikers who prefer a touch of luxury and enhanced comfort during their trekking escapades.

Additionally, this trek maintains a manageable altitude of 3880m, allowing ample time for rest and acclimatization while journeying to Namche Bazaar, minimizing concerns about altitude sickness. Furthermore, this trek doesn’t demand a high fitness level or any prior trekking experience.
The journey begins with an exhilarating flight to Lukla, known for its challenging airstrip and breathtaking views of the Himalayas, which in itself is a lifetime adventure. The trek from Lukla to Namche Bazaar is a remarkable experience. Passing through Sherpa villages allows one to witness the unique culture and hospitality of the Sherpa people. The two-day hike to Namche Bazaar, following the Dudh Koshi Canyon, offers a blend of natural beauty with lush forests of pine and rhododendron, creating a picturesque setting for the hike. Each step offers stunning vistas, encouraging travelers to pause and capture the majestic panoramas.
One of the highlights of this trek is the opportunity to witness iconic Himalayan peaks such as Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Kongde Ri, and Kusum Kanguru from vantage points like the Everest View Hotel in Syangboche and Khumjung village. These panoramic views offer a glimpse into the awe-inspiring majesty of the region and create lasting memories for trekkers from all walks of life.
The appeal of the trip rests not solely in its natural beauty but also in its accessibility.

FAQs
- I am in late 60's, a slow walker and can walk about 4-5hrs a day, is this something I can do?,
Absolutely ! So long as you can walk on uphill and downhill for 3-4hrs on moderate pace and longer on slower pace, you can do it. This trek has two days of steep ascent; one day for 2-4hrs and another for 1-2hrs.
- Do I have to concerned of altitude sickness or acclimatization ?
Generally no ! The trek starts out a relatively low altitude and climbs up slowly, acclimating each day. There is no concern and even if one were to fall sick, there is always oxygen available at all locations
The planning and execution of this trip by Heera and my guide Samjhana was excellent. All accommodations were clean and comfortable with delicious food. My drivers were safe and professional. I was able to see and experience so much of Nepal in just two weeks. They took good care of me as a solo female traveler and filled my time with wonderful experiences and memories. I highly recommend Wind Horse Tours and Treks for travel to Nepal.
