What is so special about the Everest Easy View Trek?

The Everest Easy View Trek, therefore, can be said to be a fascinating trip designed for individuals who want to explore the nature of the Everest region but are not in a physical condition to undertake a long and strenuous trek. The design of this trek combines the adrenaline rush of climbing the world's highest mountains with the comfort of traveling and sightseeing at a slower pace, with the opportunity to visit other interesting places along the way. What makes it special is that it allows you to get very close to giant mountains like Everest, Ama Dablam, or Lhotse, but at the same time, it is not very physically demanding for ordinary people of any age or physical state. The maximum elevation on the trek is 3,870 at Tengboche, which is famous for the breathtaking views of mountains and the century-old monastery, which gives the passionate trekker a very spiritual feeling.

The Everest Easy View Trek also offers the opportunity to experience the rich culture of the Nepalese people. Trekkers get the opportunity to experience the colorful Sherpa culture, as well as areas like Namche Bazaar, which is famous for being the largest trading hub of the Everest region. The trek passes through the lush vegetation of the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO site, contributing to its overall beauty. The inclusion of a helipad to Lukla and the opportunity to spend a night at the Everest View Hotel, renowned for its breathtaking views, are not mere extras but an integral part of the journey that seamlessly blends luxury, natural beauty, and cultural sights and sounds.

Best season for the Everest View trek

Everest View Trek can be done any time of the year; however, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are said to be the best. There are two periods of the day when the climate is ideal; you get to see clear blue skies and the beautiful terrain of the mountains. Spring, with its rather warm weather and blooming rhododendron forests, and autumn, with its fresh air and stable weather, are ideal for trekking.

The other seasons of the year include the monsoon period, which spans from June to August. During this time, there is a heavy downpour and the possibility of landslides, which can negatively impact trekking conditions. Winter, which lasts from December to February, is the coldest season, and this time can be very chilly, with even chances of snow and icy tracks that are not ideal for this trek. Hence, starting your trek in either spring or autumn will be the most likely to give you the absolute best experience of the Everest region.

Essential Information

Is the Everest Easy View Trek the perfect choice for beginners?

Yes, the Everest Easy View Trek is the best option for new or first-time trekkers. It is less challenging and shorter than other treks, enabling the hikers to explore the wondrous views of the Mount Everest area without the physically intensive/extreme requirements of the EBC trek. The trek goes to only moderately high altitude; the maximum height of Tengboche is 3,870 meters, which means that acclimatization is much easier. Furthermore, the trek is engineered to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience, with good facilities and meals suitable for even novice trekkers to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Khumbu region and learn about their unique culture. Food and accommodation on the Everest Easy View Trek

Throughout the Everest Easy View Trek, clients enjoy well-facilitated, comfortable lodges. You spend your nights at upscale establishments like Yeti Mountain Lodge or similar accommodations, which offer clean, comfortable rooms with basic amenities. These lodges offer warm and comfortable accommodations to travelers, thus offering a relaxed environment after a day of hiking. This trek also allows you to experience luxury at the Hotel Everest View, where you can spend the night gazing at the beautiful view of the Himalayan Ranges.

Lodges along the trekking trail serve palatable and healthy meals. The breakfast menu typically consists of different meals such as eggs, toast, and other foods unique to the region where you are staying. For lunch and dinner, a various range of Nepali, Asian, and Western meals, including vegetarian, non-vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-fat options, are available. The lodges prepare meals using fresh produce, ensuring they provide the necessary energy for the treks. For instance, the Hotel Everest View serves food with breathtaking views of the scenery, enhancing the dining experience.

Difficulty level of the Everest Easy View Trek

The Everest Easy View Trek falls under the moderate category, making it accessible to those without prior experience. However, the trail is quite cruisy; trekkers may expect to walk 5-6 hours daily over rough terrain such as steep slopes, ridges, and rocks. Ordinary walking, aerobics, and other moderate exercise can help the trekker build the necessary endurance for this trek, while cardiovascular exercises and high-altitude training help him/her prepare for the high altitudes.

Despite the moderate difficulty, one should take the effects of high altitude, most commonly manifested by acute mountain sickness (AMS), seriously. It is critical to adhere to altitude safety measures, which include ascending to Namche Bazaar on the first day and ascents of more than 1000 m per day. Though there is a possibility to use medications like Diamox to prevent AMS, it is critical to be aware of that and act carefully. Most trekkers may only feel slightly affected by the high altitudes, but one must be ready for anything that may come with high-altitude trekking in an attempt to ensure a safe and fun-filled trek.

Altitude sickness

Acute mountain sickness (AMS), also known as altitude sickness, is a condition that arises when a person travels to high altitudes for a short period of time and their body fails to adapt to the low oxygen levels. They may consist of chronotropic changes: headache, dizziness, nausea, and pathologic reactions: HAPE, and HACE, which entail hospitalization.

Preventing altitude sickness:

  • Gradual Ascent: The most effective way to control altitude sickness is to ascend slowly, letting your body time to acclimatize. It's important to include rest days in your itinerary, especially when reaching higher altitudes.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the entire trek. Proper hydration helps your body adjust to high altitudes and reduces the risk of dehydration, which can exacerbate symptoms of altitude sickness.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Both alcohol and caffeine can contribute to dehydration, making it harder for your body to adjust to altitude. It's best to limit or avoid these substances during your trek.
  • Acclimatization Days: Integrating acclimatization days into your trek, such as spending a day at a higher altitude without further ascent, lets your body to acclimate more effectively.
  • Medication: Some trekkers use medications like acetazolamide (Diamox) to help prevent altitude sickness. Before embarking on the journey, confer your doctor to determine if this is a good option for you.
  • Listen to Your Body: Pay close attention to how you feel as you climb. If you experience symptoms of altitude sickness, it's important to stop ascending and rest. In more intense cases, descending to a lower altitude is necessary.

By following these preventive measures, you can decrease the risk of altitude sickness and enjoy a safer, more comfortable trekking experience.
