Everest Panorama View Trek

The Everest Panoramic Trek follows a scenic route through the heart of the Khumbu region in Nepal. Starting from Lukla, a small mountain airstrip, the trek winds through Sherpa villages and lush forests. The trail ascends gradually, passing by the Dudh Koshi River and crossing several suspension bridges.

Our pleasant walk reaches you to the colorful village at the famous Namche Bazaar, the main hub of Sherpa people, the highlanders of the Himalayas, and then a scenic trail takes you to Thyangboche Monastery, a great spot surrounded by pristine woodland and mountains.

At Thyangboche, we will cherish moments of joy while soaking in mountain views and embarking on an insightful monastery tour. Finally, our wonderful Thyangboche Monastery & Everest View Trek will conclude with a leisurely descent back to Lukla. From Lukla, we will embark on a scenic flight back to Kathmandu, marking the end of an exciting and memorable journey through the high hills of Khumbu and Everest with Nepal Base Camp Treks.

Wildlife and Nature: Passing through Sagarmatha National Park, the area teems with diverse wildlife. Watch for rare animals like the Red Panda and Himalayan Thar.

Moderate Difficulty: Rated as moderately tough, this trek suits trekkers of various skill levels. With good fitness and stamina, even beginners can enjoy this trek.

The best times for the Everest Panorama Trek are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). If you’re planning a trek in Nepal, these two seasons offer clear skies and stable temperatures, which are advantageous for trekking. Summer and winter are generally not favorable for this trek.

The trail is complete of lush forests and blooming flowers in spring, enhancing its scenic beauty. Autumn, on the other hand, brings vibrant colors to the Everest Region’s landscapes. Spring is a good choice for those seeking fewer crowds, although it can come with mild rainfall. Autumn coincides with festivals and holidays in Nepal, making the trails busier but offering a richer cultural experience.

While the choice ultimately depends on your preferences, avoiding trekking in the summer and winter is advisable. Summer can bring heavy rainfall, making the trails muddy and hazardous, while winter’s snowfall can make the paths slippery and risky.

The Everest Panorama Trek is moderately complex but considered one of the easier treks in the Everest Region. Unlike the Everest Base Camp trek, it doesn’t involve climbing to very high altitudes, but it still requires physical effort because of the varied terrain and heights. Trekkers should be ready to walk about 7 hours each day on rough paths.

Since the trek goes above 3500 meters, there’s a risk of altitude sickness. Adding a day for acclimatization to your schedule can help reduce this risk. It’s essential to be aware of the symptoms of altitude sickness and how your body feels throughout the trek.

With good preparation and acclimatization, most reasonably fit people can complete the Everest Panorama Trek. However, consulting a healthcare professional before starting the trek is crucial. You can also improve your safety by hiring an experienced guide from a trusted company like ours.

The Panorama trek follows the same route as Everest Base Camp, so you need two permits: the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. You can get these permits in Kathmandu from the Tourism Board or at the entry gate of Sagarmatha National Park in Monjo.

Sagarmatha National Park Permit:

Since the trek goes through Sagarmatha National Park, you must have this permit. It ensures safe travel without harming the environment. The cost is NPR 1500 for SAARC nationals, NPR 3000 for foreigners, and NPR 200 for Nepali locals.

Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit:

This permit is necessary to explore the restricted places in surrounding areas. You cannot enter the restricted places listed below without getting this permit. You cannot get these permits, but you will need an experienced trek guide from a registered travel agency. The cost of these permits is identical for each individual, i.e., NPR 2000 per person.

When trekking in the Everest region, teahouses are the most common accommodation. They offer basic facilities with dormitory rooms, shared bathrooms, and communal dining spaces where you can interact with other trekkers. Camping is also an option for those seeking a more adventurous experience. You can bring your camping gear or have your travel agency arrange it.

Meals typically include traditional Nepali cuisine such as Dal Bhat, vegetables, soups, and momo for lunch and dinner. Breakfast options often include bread, omelets, pancakes, tea, and coffee. If you are diet-conscious, you must make it clear to your agency before your trekking journey. When you book with us, we provide accommodation in teahouses and include three meals daily as part of our service.

The 16-day Everest Base Camp Trek is moderate. It is well-suited for travelers capable of walking 6-7 hours (10-15 km) daily on both uphill and downhill trails. Preparing for this trek involves regular morning jogging and an hour of exercise daily. We recommend you start it at least a month before the trek. Having prior high-altitude trekking experience can make the journey easier; no technical skills are necessary.

It is essential to consult with a doctor before embarking on the trek. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions, such as heart, lung, or blood diseases, should inform Himalayan Glacier before booking. Past hiking experience is beneficial but not mandatory for this adventure.

• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially at higher altitudes where dehydration can occur more rapidly.
