This Glimpse of Everest Trek is comparatively easy one to some of other treks in Everest Region. The trek takes you up to Tengboche Monastery (3850m) through Namche Bazar; the gateway to Everest Base Camp. Although, it is a short trek, offers very scenic trek giving you a really superb view of the world’s highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Amadablam and other many snowy peaks.
This trek definitely gives a great introduction to Sherpa country and its culture along with fine mountain views. During trekking, you really find the area as a very popular destination for first time trekkers in Nepal. The trek is best suited especially for those people who haven’t enough time for longer treks into the high mountains.

Dear Tilak,
I just returned home from my trek to Tengboche.
It was absolutely AMAZING, a magical experience!
Narayan is a wonderful, knowledgeable and trustworthy guide. During the whole trek, he made sure I was happy, comfortable, warm, well-fed and, most of all, safe. Anything I could want, he made sure it happened. He even took me to a bakery in Namche on my birthday and had a cake with candles and a birthday present for me. I’ll never forget my birthday and the time I spent on the Everest trail, all thanks to Narayan!
You are lucky to have a guide like Narayan under your employ.
Thank you for arranging such an enjoyable trek!
All the best,
