Also known as the Everest Panorama trek, this is a focused trip to observe the world’s highest peak. You fly from Kathmandu to Lukla by having an aerial view of Mt. Everest.

While walking along the rugged trails, Mt. Everest is seen at first. Whether you stay at Namche Bazar or Thame or Kongde, Mount Everest and the nearby peaks are the rewards of Everest Luxury Panorama Trek.

Farak Ri is the place above Kongde Village from where you can see four of the eight thousanders of Nepal. You can see Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Mt. Makalu (8,485 m) and Mt. Cho Oyo (8,201 m) from here.

In addition, the flora and fauna of Sagarmatha National Park are equally beautiful. Sagarmatha National park is the world’ highest conservation area, so it is recorded in the World Heritage List.

The 300-year-old monastery of Namche Bazar and Thame Monastery are the evidence of the Tibetan Buddhist practice in this region. You can also visit the Sherpa Museum to know about the Sherpa lifestyle, culture and tradition.

In this way, Everest Luxury Panorama Trek is a lifelong memory of nature and culture of the Khumbu region.

Everest Luxury Panorama Trek Itinerary

Everest Panorama Trek Difficulty

Altitude, the number of days, remoteness, landscapes, condition of the trails as well as the food and accommodation services determine the trek difficulty. Regarding Everest Luxury Panorama Trek difficulty, it is a moderate type of trekking in Nepal.
