Highlights
Overview
Very evident to its popularity, the ‘Everest Panorama trek’ also well known as the ‘Everest View Trek’ gives you grandstand views of the world’s highest mountain, Everest. Our 10-day journey kick starts in Kathmandu with visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites before hitting the road to the most desirable Everest region. The trek highlights a wide range of fantastic mountain scenery combined with exclusive cultural interactions with the Sherpa people and the highest Buddhist monastery in the world. The Everest Panorama Trek is ideal for anyone who wishes to enjoy the dreamlike beauty of the Himalayas and Everest in particular while also relishing a trek that doesn’t go too high.
Everest Panorama trek begins with an early morning scenic flight from Kathmandu city to Lukla. On the first day we trek to Phakding and bunk out overnight at a lodge. The next day, we head up to Namche Bazaar which is the capital of the Khumbu region, home to Mount Everest. After chilling out for a day in Namche Bazaar, we head to Tengboche. Tengboche is famous for its ancient Buddhist monastery. After Tengboche, we make our own way back to Lukla via Khumjung and Phakding village.
This trek is ideal for those cramped with time, but don’t want to miss the chance of a meeting the biggest mountains in the world. This trek can even be shortened further by just going up to Namche Bazaar & right to the Everest View Hotel. This hotel is a great viewpoint for some of the greatest peaks on the earth, & you can enjoy all this right from your bedroom & balcony while enjoying breakfast, lunch & dinner. You can see the famous peaks of Mt. Kusum Kangaru 6370m, Thamserku 6618m, Kantega 6783m, Ama Dablam 6814m, Island peak 6165m, Lhotse 8516m, The Everest 8848m, Nuptse 7864m, Taboche peak 6495m and Kwangde 6187m and a number of other well-known peaks.
For some added information, just Above Namche bazaar is an airport. This is said to be the world’s highest airport called ‘Syangboche airport’, situated at 3,820 meters above sea level. This trek also introduces you to the largest Sherpa villages of Khumbu. They are Khumjung and Khunde. In Khumjung, there is a monastery where you can see the Yeti’s skull as well as a hospital, which is the first hospital in the Khumbu region built by the Himalayan trust in 1966 and established by Sir Edmund Hillary.

Best Season for this Trek

June, July and August are the low months to visit the Everest region as the trail remains slippery and muddy due to the monsoon.

Our trek follows on the gradual trail with few ups and downs overlooking magnificent view of the great Himalaya. Along the way we can spot wild lives like pheasant, musk deer, or a herd of Himalayan Thar. The trail goes gradually down up to Kyangjuma. The path eventually reaches Sanasa which is the major trail junction to Gokyo valley and Everest Base Camp. The track then follows through the pine forests and after we cross the prayer flags festooned bridge over Dudh Kosi River, we reach Phunki Tenga, a small settlement with a couple of teahouses and a small army post amidst the alpine woods. After having a relaxed lunch at Phunki Tenga we then have a little tough climb steep up through the pine forests while before we reach Tengboche.
