Everest Panorama Trek

The Everest panorama trek is also known as the Everest view trek. This trek is a perfect introduction to trekking in the Himalayas, especially in the iconic Khumbu region.

Immerse yourself in the gorgeous natural beauty of the Khumbu landscape and Sherpa culture. Not having to race to a high-altitude destination like Everest Base Camp or Gokyo means you can hike leisurely without worrying over issues related to high altitude. Khumbu region is home to Mt. Everest (8,848 m), the highest mountain in the world & the famous Sherpas.

Everest Panorama Trekking is a short 10 days trek designed to let travelers enjoy the wonder of the Himalayas without going on a long, and strenuous trek.

Even though this trek takes you to one of the highest trekking destinations in the world, altitude sickness is not much of an issue as you will remain well below the tree line (below 4000 meters). The highest place you will sleep is Tengboche which lies at an elevation of 3860 meters. However, you should take care and follow precautionary measures so as not to fall sick on the trail.
