Overview
Don’t have too much time in Nepal? Don’t feel like you could manage the full base camp trek, but don’t want to miss out on the views? The Everest Panorama Trek will take you into the heart of the Khumbu Region, giving you the opportunity to experience spectacular mountain views and alpine scenery. There are still challenging tracks and steep inclines, but this is a shorter trek reaching an altitude of 3860 meters. The trail takes you up as high as Tyanboche, home to the ornate Tyangboche Monastery, and an idyllic place that offers breathtaking panoramic vistas of some of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. Much of the trek follows the fast-flowing, milky waters of the Dudh Kosi river, passing over many impressive suspension bridges loaded with Buddhist prayer flags and through thick rhododendron forests.
The views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku will blow you away as you trek through Sherpa land, meeting the local people in traditional villages. You will pass through the hillside town of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital and gateway to the high Himalaya, soaking up its vibrant atmosphere and colorful culture.
