The Everest Region Short Trek with Vyas Treks Nepal was perfect for my limited travel time. In just a few days, I got to experience the magic of the Khumbu region—amazing mountain views, Sherpa culture, and peaceful trails. The guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and everything was well-organized. This is the ideal trek for anyone wanting a taste of Everest without going to base camp!
