People who plan a trek to the Everest Region or visit Nepal want to see the world's highest mountain, Everest. There are several remarkable places to see Everest. Hill stations are the best spots to see Mt. Everest from a trek, but you may see it from the flight tours. The Everest base camp helicopter tour is one of the best, easiest, and fastest options to see Everest. And the cheapest and quickest way to see Everest is by scenic mountain flight, which flies with different people from the Kathmandu airport and lands back at the same airport after a dramatic flight.

The Everest region, including Mount Everest (8848 M.), has the three highest mountains above eight thousand meters. Visitors can also see the fifth-highest mountain in the world, Makalu. Here are some of the top viewpoints, with information on how to visit and which ones.

    Several stunning viewpoints in the Everest Region offer the Best View of the World's highest Mountain (Everest) and its range. Everest Base Camp Trekkers can see Mount Everest's Best Views from Hotel Everest View, Tengboche Hill, and Kala Pathar. Gokyo Ri will be added to other viewpoints if you are on the 'Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek' or the Gokyo Lakes Trek. Similarly, the 5th Lake and Renjo La Top also offer magnificent views of Everest.

    You can also see Everest from Jhule and Nagarkot, near Kathmandu, but the weather must be clear. The weather in a few days in November and December stays crystal clear. If you visit these lower viewpoints near Kathmandu Valley in these months, you can see a long-distance view of Everest, including many other high mountains. Here, you can see information about those vantage viewpoints in the Everest Region from where you can see a Magnificent View of Everest below:

    Kala Patthar (5,545m) - Best Place for the Nearest View


    View of Everest from Kala Patthar

    Kala Patthar (also known as Kala Pattar or Kalapatar). The meaning of Kala Patthar is the black rock from which you can see the highest mountain in the World very close. The hill Kala Patthar is standing near Gorakshep. The Gorakshep is the last lodge camp of the Everest Base Camp Trek. Regular hikers take about two hours to climb to reach the top of Gorakshep. There will be windy and freezing cold, so warm clothes and a wind stopper are recommended for this hill. The severe climbing technique is not compulsory for the Kalapatthar.

    Visiting Kala Patthar needs at least 11-12 days for the Everest base camp Trek round trip from Kathmandu to Kathmandu; this leads the trail from Lukla after flying by small plane every morning. An alternative way of quickly and efficiently visiting Kala Patthar is by taking a helicopter directly from Kathmandu.
