The Mount Everest view trek or tours become a lifetime trip for people all around the world. Some people take a moderately challenging journey to Everest Base Camp for 14 days, others just take an hour's flight or by helicopter to Everest Base Camp. Following in the footsteps of the Everest Summiteers from Lukla is always the best choice for adventure lovers.

Many people got confused about the Everest view from Annapurna Region. Annapurna Region's views are totally different, and Everest is another part of the world. The clear answer, is that from Pokhara or during the Annapurna Region Trek, we can't see Mt. Everest!
