Jugal Everest View Point: Nepal’s Nearest High-Altitude Trekking Gem to Kathmandu
Nepal is famous for its iconic treks, but a new high-altitude adventure is opening doors to breathtaking Himalayan experiences closer to the capital. Jugal Everest View Point, located in the Jugal Himal of Sindhupalchok district, offers panoramic views of Mount Everest and four other 8,000-metre peaks: Cho Oyu, Makalu, Lhotse, and Shishapangma. This newly identified trekking destination promises adventure, accessibility, and awe-inspiring vistas all within easy reach of Kathmandu.
For trekkers looking for a reliable operator, All Nepal Hiking is now offering guided treks to this incredible new viewpoint, ensuring a safe, well-organized, and unforgettable experience.
The Historic First Ascent
On April 16, 2026, a four-member team led by Milan Tamang, along with record-setting Everest climber Lakpa Dendi Sherpa, young talent Ngima Wangchhu Sherpa (15 years old), and local resident Pema Sherpa, successfully reached the 5,570-metre Jugal Everest View Point. The achievement was formally announced at the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu, marking a milestone for both Sindhupalchok’s tourism economy and Nepal’s adventure tourism sector.
Why Jugal Everest View Point Stands Out
Panoramic Himalayan Views
From the viewpoint, trekkers can enjoy an uninterrupted view of five 8,000-metre peaks, a rare spectacle in Nepal. Sunrise and sunset here offer breathtaking photo opportunities for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Accessible Trekking for Everyone
Unlike many high-altitude treks, this trail is non-technical and suitable for trekkers of average fitness levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trekker, All Nepal Hiking ensures the route is safe, enjoyable, and guided by experts familiar with the region.
Short, Affordable, and Rewarding
The Kathmandu–Jugal–Nepemasal–View Point–Kathmandu trek takes five days, making it a compact adventure for those with limited time. Costs are Rs 40,000 for Nepali trekkers and approximately USD 1,000 for international visitors, making it a budget-friendly high-altitude adventure.
Boost for Local Economy
The Everest view from Jugal Himal is facilitated by Jugal Rural Municipality and its Tourism Development Committee, and operated professionally by All Nepal Hiking, ensuring support for local communities and sustainable tourism.

The Future of Jugal Tourism
The Jugal Himalayan range, officially opened for trekking in 2019 (Chaitra 2075), is gradually gaining recognition. The discovery of Jugal Everest View Point 5570M (18,274 Ft) provides an alternative Himalayan experience for those who want breathtaking views without the long journey of other treks.
Local authorities and tourism experts believe the trek will become a major destination for domestic and international visitors, promoting Sindhupalchok as a key hub for adventure tourism. With All Nepal Hiking operating the trek, visitors are guaranteed a professional and memorable experience.
