Everest Panorama View Trek

After early morning breakfast, we head to Tribhuvan International Airport for a flight to Lukla. The flight is very scenic and provides stunning views of Langtang and the Annapurna Himalayan range. Upon arriving at the Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla, our trek begins. At first, we will trek 200m downhill to Thado Koshi River and cross a suspension bridge. From the bridge, the views of Mt. Kusum Kanguru look impressive. Soon after, you will be passing a small Buddhist village Ghat, before reaching Phakding. This day’s trek will be short and enjoyable as we will be acclimatizing as well. After reaching Phakding, we will visit the local monasteries.

A long trekking day awaits us. We begin our trek early morning along the northern Dudh Koshi River banks crossing several suspension bridges over Dudh Koshi, including the Hillary suspension bridge. We will be trekking through forested trails to reach a small Sherpa village, known as Monjo. As you hike ahead, you will come to the Sagarmatha National Park Check Post where we register our permits before climbing through a thick, dense forest. From this forest, you will catch the first sight of Mt. Everest. However, we continue our trek further to reach Namche Bazaar – a famous Sherpa town, which is also known as the gateway to Everest. 

You will have gained substantial elevation by reaching Namche Bazaar. So it is a perfect time to acclimatize. The town is full of places that you can explore – including numerous Wi-Fi-linked cafes and restaurants, souvenirs, gear shops, pubs, etc. You can choose to visit the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Center or hike to the Sherpa towns of Khumjung and Khunde. To catch amazing views of Mt. Everest, we will also hike up to the Everest Hotel. After acclimatizing for a day, we will head back to our lodges and prepare ourselves for the next day.

After early morning breakfast, we start our trek to Tengboche following the Dudh Koshi River. From the route on clear days, you will get spectacular views of Everest and other surrounding peaks. Trekkers often spot local wildlife like musk deer, Himalayan Thars, and pheasants while they trek. The trail drops down as we cross the Dudh Koshi River and passes through rigorous pine forests to Tengboche monastery, then to a meadow with surrounding lodges. From Tengboche, you get stunning views of Ama Dablam.

We leave Tengboche in the morning and head to Namche Bazaar through a path that passes through dense forests, where you might get views of wildlife like pheasants, musk deer, mountain goats, or even snow leopard. As we proceed, we will be climbing down some steep winding slopes. The trail will pass through regions with prayer flags and chortens by the side. As we head back, you can click pictures as you enjoy the views of Everest peak and the backside of Lhotse. After arriving at Namche Bazaar, we head to our lodges for rest.

After breakfast, we will be hiking down a steep trail descending to the Hillary Suspension Bridge and then continue our trek through several local villages in and around Dudh Koshi River valley. Upon reaching Lukla, we will freshen up at our hotel and relax. In the evening you can celebrate your successful trek, after all, you have viewed the tallest peak in the world.

If all goes according to the schedule, we will be flying back to Kathmandu in the early morning after breakfast. After arriving in Kathmandu, you can choose how to spend your time in Kathmandu. You have several options – like exploring Kathmandu city and its UNESCO world heritage sites. If you want, we can provide experienced guides for the Kathmandu city tour so that you will not miss the main attractions.
