- At 3,870 meters / 12,697 feet, explore the historic Tengboche Monastery.

Overview
A 14-day excursion known as the Everest Base Camp Short Trek brings visitors to the area where the well-known Sherpas reside and follow Buddhism. Namche Bazaar, Sagarmatha National Park, the Kala Patthar viewpoint, and Everest Base Camp are among the places visited on the walk. Hikers will pass by four of the world’s six highest peaks and see Tengboche Monastery, the tallest monastery in the Khumbu region. The journey starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, which includes all required permits and equipment for the trip. If you are on a tight schedule and would want the same amenities as the 16-day trek, this trek is an excellent choice. The 12-day Everest View Trek is easier for novice hikers in excellent health and average physical condition, while the 18-day Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo Lakes is a more challenging option for experienced hikers seeking a greater challenge.
