EVEREST PANORAMA TREK

​​Everest Panorama Trek of Everest Region is relatively easy compared to some of the other treks, takes you up high along trails to Tengboche Monastery (3850m).

Everest Panorama Trek is a short but very scenic trek that offers a really magnificent view of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and other many snowy peaks.

We fly from Kathmandu to Lukla airstrip in the Khumbu region and trek up to Namche Bazar, Tyangboche (famous for its monastery) and into the Khumjung village, a very nice settlement of Sherpas people. Everest Panorama Trek is a great introduction to Sherpa country and its culture with mountain views standing beautifully, it is a very popular destination for first-time trekkers in Nepal. Everest Panorama Trek is suitable for trekkers who do not have enough time for longer treks into the high mountains.

Highlights of Everest Panorama Trek 

  • Equally mind-blowing trip loaded with the breathtaking panoramas, including the highest peak of the world.
  • Everest Panorama Trek to view a Glimpse Mt. Everest and more mountains peak.
  • The treks offer a really stunning view of the world's heights peaks.
  • Tengboche (famous for its monastery), a very nice settlement of Sherpas people.
  • The prosperity of Sherpa people; explore the tiny Himalayan settlements and enjoy the color festivals.
  • Everest Panorama Trekking is a perfect lower altitude trekking in a short and limited time.

Alert: There will be a slight change in the itinerary, especially the days when you take the domestic flights. In April & May and October & November of 2019, the government shifted the operation base for flights to and from Lukla (This is the actual starting point of the trek) from Kathmandu to Manthali, a town 4 to 5 hours drive away from Kathmandu. As a result, anyone who signed up for any Everest trek or climb had to go to Manthali to catch their flight. They moved the base because of renovation and high air traffic for Kathmandu's airport which is also the only international airport in Nepal. This change in the airport will continue in 2020 as well. Though right now there have been direct flights, we expect from March the airport will be shifted.

Once you reach Lukla, have breakfast. Your guide will make an arrangement of porters. We assign one porter to every two clients. Begin the trek by descending towards the Dudh Kosi River where you join the main trail to Namche Bazaar, located just above Chaunikharka (2,713 m).

Trekkers and climbers who have arrived in Khumbu region spend time in Namche Bazaar to acclimatize to thinning air of the mountains.

The group will be taken to observe a prayer ceremony either in the evening or in the morning depending on how the trekking goes this day.

GOOD TO KNOW

Accommodation

Accommodation in Kathmandu will be in a 3-star category hotel. This short days trek offers you well developed and comfortable accommodation with attached bathroom during your stay. You are likely to have no complaints regarding the accommodation but do not expect it to be a high standard especially in mountains. All accommodation is on a twin sharing basis.

Meals and drinks during the trek

In Kathmandu, breakfast will be served and a wide range of meals is provided during the trek. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included in your package. Various meals like noodles, soups, spaghetti, bread items, and local cuisines are readily available. Normally, breakfast and dinner are served in a lodge and lunch is served during the walk/daytime. We highly recommend you to buy water purifying pills as you get to have stream water; however, you have the option of buying mineral water and boiled water at an additional cost. Note that, purchasing plastic bottled water is not eco-friendly.

Best time to travel

Autumn (Sept. to November) and spring (March to May) are the best seasons to do an Everest Panorama Trek. This trek can be done throughout the year however, we do not suggest monsoon season, as it is not considered good season both for views and trails.

Physical fitness

Everest Panorama is a short and moderate trek suitable for all passionate walkers who can walk 4-5 hours a day; it is perfect for the beginners or the traveler who are short in time but want to have a glimpse of Mount Everest. Although the trail itself is not difficult, some novice walkers may find it difficult so we recommend you to do regular exercises or outdoor activities like swimming, cycling, jogging, etc before embarking.

We also suggest you to prior to the excursion though we suggest you to please see your doctor and obtain necessary permission and advice, as well as medications for traveling in extreme altitude prior to the excursion.
During trekking, you will be served meals in the teahouses. Typical meals are noodles, rice, pasta or potato dishes along with vegetables and egg/chicken/meat dishes.

This form of arrangement also allows you to carry less baggage; you can trek at your own pace and enjoy the Everest panorama on your own schedule. It is also an eco-friendly way of trekking whereby trekkers can have more contact with the local's sherpa peoples.
Most of the teahouses on the Everest panorama trail have squat toilet facilities but recently built lodges have western-style toilets as well. Nowadays, flush toilets are also being introduced with number of increasing foreign mountaineers each year. It is highly recommended to carry your own toilet paper and other required toiletries. Hot shower facilities are available till Gorakshep. The most common type is a bucket shower, usual buckets with tap filled with hot water and placed in a shower room. Hot shower costs from US$ 4 to 15 per use and the price increases along with the elevation. Attached bathrooms and toilets are not available unless you book for a luxury lodge during the EBC trek.
What you want to wear depends on you but we suggest you wear warm clothes during the Everest panorama trekking. A down jacket, thermal longs and top, comfortable trekking trousers, t-shirts, fleece, windproof jacket, hat, scarf, and gloves might be useful. There are numerous trekking shops in the Thamel area of Kathmandu where you can get all of these items in both local and branded stores alike. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking may also accompany and assist you if required.
During the Everest panorama trekking, you will be on a long journey for which you will need two bags to keep your belongings. A rucksack/duffle bag and a day bag for personal items. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking will provide you with a duffle bag (which is need to refund after the trek) that you can use throughout your entire journey and even afterward. These bags are durable and hence perfect for any kind of trekking journey. While the duffle bag will be carried by the potters, you will have to carry a day bag on your own. A day bag is a small backpack that has enough room for everything you will need on a day hike such as lunch, water, extra clothing and perhaps a few personnel items like camera, battery chargers, etc.
If possible, we suggest you bring your own equipment. However, sleeping bags and down jackets will be provided to you by Sherpa Expedition and Trekking. With regards to trekking poles, if you are used to walking with it then take them with you, as you will probably find them useful especially on the way down. They are not essential though and the walk is manageable without them. It is mostly a personal preference. If you prefer to take the trekking poles with you on the trekking then you can either bring your own pole or buy it from numerous options available in Kathmandu itself.
Yes, if you have a bag of extra clothing for when you return from the trekking, you will be able to store it safely in Kathmandu Sherpa Expedition and Trekking office.

You will be trekking at a relatively slow and gradual pace as part of the acclimatization process. Cut off caffeinated, alcoholic and smoking items. Drink at least 4 liters of water a day. Trek slow. Don't skip the acclimatization days. Better to continue with Diamox (if any symptoms show up). Drink Garlic Soup. In the higher elevation, there is less oxygen in the air and this is more so while crossing high passes. Our expert guides will advise you on how to avoid AMS and treat it when/ if required.

Please be sure your porters are not overloaded because they do not carry only your equipment but also lift your spirit to reach new heights, and your love, affection, and generosity can be the reason for them to work hard to take you to your destination. However, the weight limit on flights to the Everest region, basically to Lukla is a total of 10 kgs and you need to pay an extra amount per kg for the excess baggage. Sherpa Expedition and Trekking pays up to 5 kgs of extra baggage making your total to 15 kgs with your hand bag.
