Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens is a specially designed package of Everest Trek. In many cases, the age hinders the desire to reach the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest (8,848m). This trek facilitates those willing hearts for adventurous journeys even after their retirement.

What we believe is that growing age shouldn’t be a hindrance to lifelong experiences! Trekking above 4,000m may not be possible for all the respectable senior citizens all the time. Nevertheless, you can fulfill the Everest Dream’ if not the Summit or the base camp.

Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens rewards you with the wonderful combination of the culture and nature of the concerned region. Amazing vistas of the Great Himalayas including Mount Everest are awaiting you all the time! The sunrise and sunset views of Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,188m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812m), Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Khumbila and many more will provide you with invaluable experiences.

The biodiversity of Sagarmatha National Park, a World Heritage Site of Nepal, pleases you more. The pine, oak, cypress, and rhododendron forests; and the birds and animals inhabiting them are other attractions of the region.

You will explore all the major Sherpa settlement areas of the Khumbu region trek. This not only gives you joy but also the firsthand experience of their lifestyle, culture, and tradition. The major monasteries, chortens, and mani walls of the region further welcome you. Thame Monastery, Khumjung Monastery, Pangboche Monastery, and Tengboche Monastery are the masterpieces of Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Moreover, the seasonal feasts and festivals of the Sherpa communities make the Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens more meaningful. The Yeti Scalp of Khumjung Monastery is the most unique experience in a lifetime.

Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens Difficulty

While designing the package, we have tried to minimize the Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens difficulty at best. The trail condition, altitude, availability of services, and Nepal trekking duration per day determine any trek difficulty.

The trials of Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens are well maintained as they are mostly frequented all year around. There won’t be any difficulty caused by the food and accommodation facilities. You find good quality hotels and lodges providing you best quality of food and accommodation. You get to choose the food of your appetite from a large variety of menus.

Yes, this trek starts from the place above 2,500m. Therefore, there is a chance for altitude sickness during this trek. However, the trekking hours per day is not much longer to minimize the threat of this physical health. You have to walk for about 6 hours along the slightly steep up-and-down trail every day.

Moreover, our trekking guide takes very good care of you during the trek. The short trekking hours mean you have enough time for rest in the middle of the journey. We manage the first aid box to take the initial treatment for Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). If the situation of our customers seems out of reach, we prompt for emergency evacuation from the high altitude to the lower region.

We promise you won’t have any chance of regret for booking Everest View Trek for Senior Citizens with Nepal Trekking Routes. Just be frank with us as soon as you have some difficulty!

Everest Panorama View Trek for Senior Citizens Cost
