Himalayan Friends’ Everest Buddhist trek to others also known as the Everest View Trek or the Everest Panorama View Trek, is one of the most famous short trek in Nepal. As the name states, one of the best ways to see Mt Everest up close in a short amount of time and seeing the Himalayan Buddhist culture first hand. Trekking to Everest is one of the most sought after treks in the world and who wouldn’t want to see the biggest mountain in the world? Heading up to the Nepalese Himalayas will take up a lot of time that is why Himalayan Friends organizes various treks that only take up a short amount of your time. The Everest Buddhist trek of 9 days can also be made shorter depending on your travel time.

How to get there?

Himalayan Friends starts the Everest Buddhist trek from Kathmandu. It all begins with a scenic flight to Lukla airport. Flights to and from Lukla are often delayed due to the weather conditions, that is why travelers should book an extra day just in case! During the flight the views are just amazing. Seeing the landscape below and the snowcapped mountain peaks peeking over the clouds makes you truly feel on the top of the world. When we reach Lukla the Everest Buddisht Trek officially begins. We don’t want to waste too much time so after a meet and greet with the team we head out to Phakding for our first day of trekking in the Everest region. Heading downwards it’s an easy going first day and seeing the Dudh Khosi River giving life to the environment gives a pure nature feeling. The next day we head up to the biggest Sherpa town in the region Namche Bazaar.

In Namche we get to spend a whole day enjoying the views, exploring around and hiking up to Khumjung village. The route to the villages takes us to the Khumjung ridge from where the best views of Mt. Everest can be seen! Our journey takes now to the Khumjung Monastery. Here in this ancient Buddhist monastery a mythical yeti skull can be seen. The last place to visit on our Buddhist trek is the Tengboche Monastery. Laying peaceful on a hillside with incredible valley views, this monastery is a famous pilgrimage site. Witness the evening prayers and become one with the Himalayas!

Great experience, beyond the ordinary

We had only limited time for trekking and Himalayan Friends Trekking (HFK) had the perfect solution for us. We did an 8 day Buddhist Highlight Trek in the Everest Region. We are two Buddhists, so we were thrilled to experience the ages old Buddhist Sherpa culture. The peak experience was Tengboche Monastery in the Heart of the Everest Region. HFK did not just provide flights to/from Lukla in a matter of days, also they made possible the most amazing Trek with qualified guide (an Everest summitter !) and porter. Good acclimatization was a priority which we appreciated. Service was spotless, personnel highly experienced and fulfilling our every wish. But Phuri‘s company will not just do what every other company does. When the going gets rough HFK gets going ! We had a very bad weather Periode in Lukla at the end of our Trek. HFK facilitated an airlift to KTM by helicopter for a moderate surcharge. That flight was definitely a lifetime experience! A company that is by your side not only on Sunny days (and till you paid their invoice) but which will go a long way to guarantee satisfaction, safety and joy. 5 stars for a HFK. start as Partners and we all end as Friends. Coming back to Nepal soon! Andreas, Berlin / Germany

Best time in Khumbu on the Buddhist Monastery Trek

We knew Himalayan Friends already but this 8 days Buddhist Monastery Trek in the Khumbu Area was one of my best. Phuri took well care from the first to the last moment, we felt highly supported from the Team who organised the Trip from Kathmandu and also from our Guide Pasang and our Porter Dawa, who never lost his fresh smile. Pasang realised our physical capacity and considers it in every moment. It was a very private and familiar Trek where we became deeper friends with Phuris Sherpa Family in the Khumbu Area. Every Step was organised so well and flexible and warmhearted they took care of us. We had been blessed with the best weather conditions and the last days, where it was to rainy to fly back from Luka with a plane, Phuri organised us a Helikopter Flight which was spectacular.
