Everest Panorama Trek

Proceed with the UNESCO Heritage Sightseeing Tour after breakfast. After visiting Swyambhunath Temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan city, and Khokana Village, you will be transferred back to your accommodation. Spend the night in Kathmandu.

In the morning you travel for a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla – a gateway from where the trip begins. The approximately 35-minute mountain flight provides a breathtaking view of the Himalayan Range. From Lukla, the trip begins along stone-paved trails leading to Bhaisekharka, and eventually reaches Phakding. On the route, there are numerous prayer rocks. Stay the night in Phakding.

The walk passes through a pine forest and along the Dudh Koshi River. Along the route, there is a magnificent view of the shimmering Mount Thamserku (6618m). Passing via the settlements of Benkar, Chumoa, and Monjo, the entry to Sagarmatha National Park is reached. The trail then ascends through trees and over bridges to the confluence of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers. Prior to reaching Namche Bazaar, the trail passes past Jorsale Village, where you will catch your first glimpse of Mount Everest. Overnight in Namche.

You will stay three nights in Namche Bazaar to acclimatize gradually. During this period you trek to the Everest View Hotel (3,900m) and to Thame (3,844m), where Tenzing Norgay grew up. The majority of trekkers only spend two nights in Namche before continuing up the mountain, however based on our experience, this extra night considerably improves your odds of reaching base camp without a headache!

Our route of today to Tengboche weaves in and out of side valleys, making small ups and downs, to the teashops of Kenjoma, and joins the trail from Khumjung just before a collection of mani stones. The views of Everest and Ama Dablam are excellent from this part of the trek. We pass the small settlement of Sanasa from where the trail drops towards Phunki Thanga (3250m). From here the trail climbs steeply through forests and around mani stones as it follows the side of a hill to the saddle on whichh the monestary of Tengboche sits at 3870m. The view from here is rightly deemed to be one of the worlds most magnificent. Kwangde (6187m), Tawachee (6542m), Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse (8501m), Ama Dablan, Kantega and Thamserku provide an inspiring panorama of Himalayan giants. We will spend the night in Tengboche village (5 hrs).

Today we return halfway back to Namche Bazaar befor starting our hike up to the largest Khumbu settlement of the valley, Khumjung village. From Khumjung village a great view from Mt. Everest can be seen (4-5 hrs).

Today we descent first to Namche Bazaar and then continue our way back down the valley and descent steeply back to the Dudh Kosi river and continue our way past the national park checkpoint at Monjo. From Monjo we will go through forests of magnolia, giant firs and rhododendrons to Chomoa, the site of an agricultural project. We cross the Dudh Kosi river to its west-bank and continue our way down to Phakding (5 hrs).

Today we retrace our route from day 01 back to the transit village of Lukla, where we have to reconfirm our flight tickets for the next day. Overnight in Lukla (3 hrs).

Today we fly back to Kathmandu. This early morning flight is because of the location of the airstrip, and the often clear morning views from the plane one of the most interesting flights you’ll ever experience. Overnight stay at hotel.

Morning, you will be free. Afternoon we will drop you to the Kathmandu International Airport for the departure flight to home.
