Do you want to see Mount Everest with your own eyes? Do you want to spend nights in picturesque Sherpa villages? Are you looking for a short and adventurous trek in the Everest region? Is high altitude and altitude sickness your biggest concern? If so, then the Everest Panorama trek is for you.
The Everest Panorama trek is the easiest trek one can do in the Everest region. Our Everest Panorama trek 9 days ascends only up to Tengboche village, so the altitude sickness risk is low.
If high altitude is something that has been holding you back from exploring the beauty and tranquility of the Everest region, then the Everest Panorama trek is the perfect option for you.
You will take the same Lukla flights and follow the same EBC trek route. However, instead of hiking all the way to the Everest Base Camp, you will return from Tengboche village.
Our Everest Panorama trek itinerary has night stops in Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Lukla. These are some of the finest Sherpa villages where you will see their daily lifestyle and culture.
The journey is adventurous, exciting, and scenic. You will have a wholesome time with the locals and witness jaw-dropping views of mountains like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Kongde Ri, etc.
We, Base Camp Trip, specialize in Everest treks. We offer both standard trekking and climbing packages in the Everest region and curate customer trekking programs to fit our trekker's fitness, condensers, and budget.
