Trek Everest View with a local guide

A licensed guide isn't mandatory on Everest View, and the rule isn't enforced on most of Nepal's trails, but we still recommend trekking with a local guide.

An experienced guide isn't only there to show you the way. They know the families who run the teahouses and homestays, explain the villages, monasteries, festivals and food you'd otherwise walk straight past, help you talk with local people, watch for altitude sickness and changing weather, and handle rooms, permits and transport so you can simply enjoy the walk. Many trekkers say their guide was the best part of the trip.
