Slow and Easy Trekking in Everest-14 Days

Trip Introduction: Slow and Easy Trekking in Everest 2024/2025

Slow and Easy Trekking in Everest is a perfect way to enjoy the local immense Sherpa culture against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes and high snow-capped peaks. It allows visitors more opportunities to explore and soak into Buddhist culture of great interest, as it has been for thousands of years.

This is wonderful because one can solo trek in and around the Everest Region, spend much time with oneself, and enjoy interacting with native Sherpa, the highlanders of Nepal's Himalayas and Everest.

A great Slow and Easy trek in Everest with excellent scenery along the walk, walking from one village to another. Besides beautiful views of surrounding mountains and landscapes, you will trek within one of the world’s highest Sagarmatha National Park.

The park was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1979. It is located to the northeast of Kathmandu within the high and scenic Khumbu region, which includes the tallest peaks in the world.

Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, and Mt. Cho-Oyu are among the famous lesser 8,000-meter mountains, along with Ama Dablam, Pumori, Thermasarkhu, Kwangde, Khangtiaga, and Gyachung Kang.

The adventure takes you into the beautiful, cool shade of a coniferous forest lined with tall rhododendrons, blue pines, and silver fir. As you reach higher up, you walk into juniper and birch trees and short bushes.

Indeed, it is a leisurely and pleasant high-altitude walk in the harmony of a lovely mountain environment with the warm hospitality of Sherpa villagers, which adds more charm to this Slow and Easy Trek to Everest.

The Sherpa, who migrated from southeast Tibet, hence the name ‘Sher’ for east and ‘pa’ as people of the East, follow almost the same traditions and age-old heritage as Tibetans of the Mahayana type of Buddhism religion, which you can witness in Slow and Easy Trekking in the Everest Region of scenic Khumbu.

The name for Everest in Nepal is Sagarmatha, and the Sherpa calls it Chomolungma, which in both languages translates as ‘Great Mother’. On this scenic and pleasant walk, visit lovely villages adorned with Buddhist monuments.

The main settlements are Lukla, Phakding, Chowri Kharka, and Monjo higher up Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Khunde, Thame, Thyangboche, Pangboche, and Phortse.

The economy of the Khumbu Sherpa community has traditionally been heavily based on trade and livestock herding. However, with the arrival of international mountaineering expeditions since 1950 and the influx of foreign trekkers, the Sherpa economy today is becoming increasingly dependent on tourism. The higher Khumbu area is populated by approximately 3,000 of the famed Sherpa people whose lives are interwoven with the teachings of Buddhism.

Slow and Easy Trekking in Everest starts with a sweeping panoramic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the gateway town to higher Everest Areas. Most adventure is completed in this busy town, where the airport is named after famous legendary mountaineers Tenzing and Hillary, who were the first to conquer Mt. Everest on May 29th, 1953.
