    Overview And Highlights

    Everest Panorama Trek: A Short and Easy Adventure to See Mount Everest
    Perfect for Travelers with Limited Time

    The Everest Panorama Trek is an ideal choice for those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas and catch a glimpse of Mount Everest without committing to a long and strenuous trek. This short and relatively easy trek takes you through the picturesque Khumbu region, offering stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Along the way, you'll visit traditional Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar, and enjoy the rich culture and hospitality of the locals. The Everest Panorama Trek is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to witness the majesty of the world's highest peak.

    Everest Panorama View Trekking Route

    The Everest Panorama View trekking starts by taking a morning flight to Lukla. Lukla is a small airport that is the most common starting point for trekkers heading to the Everest region. The trekking route follows the half route of the Everest Base Camp trek up to Tengboche Monastery.

    From Lukla, a leisurely walk through several villages and suspension bridges will take you to Phakding. After spending a night in Phakding, you’ll head to Namche and follow a trail that climbs gently up, before ascending a very steep final stretch, to reach Namche Bazaar.

    Namche, the trading capital of the Everest region, was once the trading grounds of the “Saltmen of Tibet”. Even today we can see Tibetans selling rugs, clothing, salt, and dried meat in the region.

    With karaoke bars, internet cafés, bakeries, shops, even pizzerias, the modern Namche has now become a “tourist ghetto”. It’s very likely that you’ll hear half a dozen languages being spoken around you during your two-day stay in Namche.

    Two nights in Namche Bazaar should acclimatize you for a further ascent to Tengboche, which, at 3,867 meters is the highest altitude you’ll be reaching. From Tengboche, you’ll see a wonderful panorama of Mount Everest and it’ll certainly be one of the best experiences of your life.

    In Tengboche, you’ll also visit the grand Tengboche monastery, the highest-ever place of worship that basks in the solitude of a beautifully scenic valley. The next day, you’ll return to Namche Bazaar and the following day you’ll return to Lukla. The same scenic flight that brought you to Lukla from Kathmandu, awaits you in the tiny airstrip there. The return flight to Kathmandu marks the end of your 7-day Everest Panorama view trekking adventure in Nepal.

    Namche, the trading capital of the Khumbu region, was once the trading grounds of the “Saltmen of Tibet”. Even today we can see Tibetans selling rugs, clothing, salt, and dried meat in the region.

    Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary airport 2,840m), is a small airport town is the most common starting point for trekkers heading to the Everest region.

    When you arrive at the airport, our staff will be waiting for you. They'll be holding a sign with your name and our company name, Peace Nepal Treks. Just look for your name on that sign when you come out of the airport.

    Then, we'll take you to your hotel, which is about a 30-minute drive away. You'll check in and get settled.

    After that, our guide will meet you at the airport and give you some information about your trip.

    The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is a short but exciting 40-minute journey through the mountains until we reach Tenzing-Hillary Airport. That's where our trek begins. We start by walking down to the Dudh Koshi River and then follow the path to Namche Bazaar.

    During the busy months of April/May and October/November, there's another option. We can take a flight from a different airport called Manthali to Lukla, which only takes about 20 minutes. But to catch that flight, we need to leave Kathmandu very early in the morning, around 2 AM, and drive for about 4 hours to reach Manthali airport. This is because there are a lot of people traveling during these months, and the airports can be very busy.

    Two days of rest in Namche Bazaar helps us in acclimatization and prepares us for our journey ahead. Namche, the trading capital of the Khumbu region was once the trading grounds of Tibetan Salt. Even today we can see Tibetans selling rugs, clothing, salt and dried meat in the region. Namche is believed to be one of the best places on earth to see the sun rise and set between the snow-clad Himalayas.

    The flight from Lukla to Kathmandu lasts about 40 minutes. But if we're flying from Lukla to Manthali airport, it's much shorter, only about 20 minutes.

    When things get busy, flights might change from Lukla to Manthali airport. So if we're taking that route, we'll have to fly from Lukla to Manthali and then drive from Manthali to Kathmandu. That drive takes about 4 to 5 hours, covering a distance of around 130 kilometers.

    Backpack: Bring a lightweight daypack with a capacity of around 20-30 liters to carry your essentials like water, snacks, extra layers, and camera gear.

    Clothing: Pack layers suitable for varying temperatures. Include breathable and moisture-wicking base layers, a fleece or insulated jacket for cooler evenings, and a waterproof and windproof jacket in case of rain or strong winds. Quick-drying trekking pants and moisture-wicking socks are also essential.

    What a great trekking experience we had with Peace Nepal Treks!

    We had the pleasure of doing a 5-day Panoramic of the Everest trek with Peace Nepal Trek and it was amazing.
    The hotel in Kathmandu was great, we had a lovely welcome in Buddhist fashion with a beautiful scarf. The food in Nepal is AMAZING lots of vegetarian choices :)
    Our guide Bil Tamang was very nice and helped us a lot during the trek, especially in the more difficult descents.
    Seeing Everest from afar was a wonderful experience and also heard stories from the trekkers that actually went to the base camp.
    We did not do the base camp because we had only a week but we would definitely consider doing the full trek in the future.
    Overall a wonderful experience and Nepalese people are some of the nicest, warmest, and most welcoming people on the planet :)
    Thank you Peace Nepal Treks for organizing the whole tour!!!

    Highly recommended!!!
