Overview
The Everest Panorama Trek is an incredible adventure that captures the essence of the Khumbu region in Nepal. This relatively short trek, as its name suggests, offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest (8848m) and its surrounding peaks.
The trekking route traverses through the Himalayan villages of Khumbu, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the ethnic Sherpa culture. The journey begins with a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu city, followed by a short flight to Lukla. As trekkers walk under the lush canopy of rhododendron blooms, they are treated to stunning views of Everest adorning the skyline.
The trek seamlessly blends the rich Sherpa traditions of Khumbu, featuring mani walls carved with prayers and vibrant prayer flags that embellish the trans-Himalayan landscape. The trail passes through renowned mountain towns and villages, including Namche Bazaar, and culminates at Tengboche. Here, trekkers are rewarded with awe-inspiring vistas of peaks like Everest (8848m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Taboche (6367m), Lhotse (8414m), and Thamserku (6608m), all standing majestically behind the sacred Tengboche Monastery.

Best Time to Everest Panorama Trek
The ideal times to undertake the Mount Everest Panorama trek are during the spring season from March to May and the autumn season from September to November. These months offer clear skies, stable weather conditions, and moderate temperatures, ensuring optimal visibility of the stunning mountain vistas.
Spring is particularly favorable, with moderate weather, clear skies, and long days creating an excellent environment for trekking. Additionally, the trail is adorned with blooming flowers, enhancing the experience.
Similarly, autumn is an excellent time for the trek, offering moderate weather and temperatures that make the journey pleasant.
In contrast, trekking during the monsoon and winter seasons is not recommended due to potential hassles such as heavy rainfall, trail blockages, landslides, and obstructed mountain views.
Food to Everest Panorama Trek
During the trek, you’ll be provided with three meals a day, featuring a blend of local and international cuisines. Enjoy traditional Nepali dishes like Dal Bhat, momo, and thukpa for lunch and dinner.
In addition, you can savor international flavors such as pasta and pancakes, which are readily available in the lower regions. Teahouses also offer beverages like tea, coffee, and soft drinks, along with snacks. We suggest bringing your own snacks to enjoy on the trail.
For drinking water, since tap water is not safe to drink, bottled water is available for purchase. To reduce plastic waste and ensure safe drinking water, it’s recommended to carry water purification methods or reusable water bottles with built-in filters.
Accommodation Facility on Everest Panorama Trek
The rooms will be available on a two-person sharing basis, with each hotel in Everest featuring two single beds. The beds will be comfortable, and the blankets will be cozy. For this Everest Panorama View Trek, a sleeping bag is not necessary as the guesthouse proprietors often provide an extra blanket. The main dining area will also be included in the Everest guest homes. Private restrooms are uncommon in such remote areas, so bathrooms are usually shared. However, hot showers and Wi-Fi are available at tea houses, though at an additional cost. Unlike other trekking routes, accommodations in Everest have power outlets, so charging is free. In Kathmandu, you’ll stay at a 3-star hotel with a private bathroom and bath, where Wi-Fi and all other fees are included.
