Lower Everest Trek
The Lower Everest Trek is a great way to experience the Everest region without having to go all the way to Everest Base Camp. This moderate trek takes you through some of the most beautiful and scenic parts of the Khumbu Valley, including Tengboche Monastery, Hilleri View Point, and several picturesque Sherpa villages.
The trek starts in Lukla, a small town at the foot of the Himalayas. From there, you'll hike up to Namche Bazaar, the main trekking hub in the Everest region. Namche is a great place to acclimatize to the altitude and to get a taste of Sherpa culture. After Namche, you'll continue the journey to Khumjung and Khunde Villages, some of the largest villages in the Everest region. From there, you can hike to Hilleri View Point, which offers the greatest panoramic vista of the Himalayas.
The ultimate destination of the trek is Tengboche Monastery, one of the most important monasteries in the entire Khumbu Valley. Tengboche is a beautiful place to visit, and the views from the monastery are simply stunning. The Lower Everest Trek is a great way to experience the beauty of the Everest region and learn about Sherpa culture. It's also a relatively easy trek, making it a good option for people who are new to trekking.
