What to Expect on the Everest Panorama Trek
Your adventure begins with a scenic flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, one of the world’s most thrilling mountain airstrips. From Lukla, the journey follows the Dudh Koshi River Valley, passing through charming Sherpa villages such as Phakding, Monjo, and Jorsale.
Reaching Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa capital, you’ll find cozy lodges, bakeries, cafes, and markets. An extra day here allows you to acclimatize and explore highlights like:
-
A hike to the world-famous Hotel Everest View, offering spectacular panoramas of Everest, Ama Dablam, and surrounding peaks.
-
Visits to local museums and galleries, showcasing Sherpa history and the first Everest expeditions.
The trail continues to Tengboche, home to the sacred Tengboche Monastery (Gompa), the largest in the Khumbu region. With a backdrop of majestic peaks, prayer flags, and Buddhist chortens, this spiritual site offers a unique cultural and scenic experience. Keep an eye out for rare Himalayan wildlife, including musk deer, Himalayan Tahr, and colorful monals.
On the return journey, you’ll pass through the historic Sherpa villages of Khumjung and Kunde, where Sir Edmund Hillary established schools and health centers. Khumjung Monastery even houses the legendary “Yeti scalp,” adding a mystical touch to your adventure.
Finally, retrace your steps back to Lukla for the flight to Kathmandu, completing your unforgettable Himalayan journey.
