Trip Overview

Everest panorama trekking is a short hiking trip to Nepal. It leads halfway to the Everest base camp which gives a stunning view of Himalayan peaks. The treks will start from Lukla in the Everest region, hiking Phakding, and Monjo along the Dudh Koshi River; to Namche Bazaar which is the homeland of Sherpa. After rest and acclimatization at Namche, we move to explore Khumjung and Tengboche monasteries.

The oldest monasteries at Cho Oyu and Pangboche villages will add value to our trek. Tengboche gives a rewarding view of Mt. Everest behind Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Kang tanga, and Tawache. You can take time to explore Buddhist monasteries in the Everest region.

The Everest panorama trek is suitable for those who don’t have much time or want to walk for days in the Mountains. On the trail, you come across the small but picturesque village, pine forest, rhododendron-covered settlement, and wildlife of this region. This is a great start for first-time trekkers.
