The Everest Panorama View trek is literally one of the most rewarding trekking destinations in the Khumbu region (Everest region), in Nepal. It starts from the busy city of Kathmandu with a short and majestic mountain flight to Lukla. Lukla is the gateway to the Everest region. The Everest Panorama View trek follows the Dudkosi River valley into the Sagarmatha National park, passing gorgeous rhododendron flowers, Buddhist monasteries, mani walls and an array of pine forests with diverse flora and fauna. Furthermore, our trekking towards the gorgeous Sherpa village of Namche Bazar is outstanding. Namche Bazaar itself one of the most important towns of the Khumbu region. It's a small beautiful village with awe-inspiring mountain views of the Himalayas, where you will be enjoying the unique culture and traditions of the native Sherpa people. Namche is well known as the capital of the Everest region, since you find all kinds of products. Namche has many facilities providing banking services and quality trekking and climbing equipment.

In Namche Bazaar we basically take an acclimatization day for our trip. After resting a day in Namche, we hike towards our destination for next few days. On the way we visit Tengboche, whith its well-renowned monastery, located at 4035m, the highest monastery in the Khumbu region. We also visit Khumjung and Khunde, villages which are known as the twin Sherpa villages of Khumbu region. From here we will have amazing views of the Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Nuptse (7861m), Ama Dablam (6812m) Thamserku (6623m) and many more.

The Everest Panorama View trek is one of the thrilling, short adventure trekking expeditions which can be completed by everyone; this trek is emotionally designed for travelers who wish to have a delightful experience of the mighty mountain while trekking in the Himalayas in a short period of time, without any challenges.
