Everest Panorama View Trek Overview
If you’ve been thinking about trekking in the Nepal Himalaya, you’ll likely have Mount Everest – the highest mountain in the world on your mind! At a staggering 8,848m/29,029ft, Mount Everest conquers them all. Yet it’s not as inaccessible as you might think! On our Everest Panorama View Trek, you can enjoy amazing views of Mount Everest, without trekking as far as Everest Base Camp.
On this awe-inspiring trek, we walk to the village of Tengboche (3,867m/12,687ft). Home to an impressive Tibetan Buddhist monastery of the Sherpa community – Dawa Choling Gompa. From Tengboche, lose yourself in the incredible panoramic beauty of the Himalayan giants. You’ll have great views of Mount Everest, but that’s not all! You’ll see the fourth highest mountain Lhotse (8,516m/27,940ft)! Also Nuptse (7,861m/25,791ft), Taboche (6,495m/21,309ft), Thamserku (6,623m/21,729ft) and beautiful Ama Dablam (6,812m/22,349ft).
Most of the trek is moderate, with two quite challenging climbs to reach Namche Bazaar and Tengboche.
Trekking to Tengboche (3,867m/12,687ft)
Our adventure begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu into the small mountain airport in Lukla, named after Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary – the first men to summit Everest. We start our trek at 2,860m/9,383ft, well away from the buzz of daily life. Entering Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) National Park, you’ll feel privileged and excited to see the wild beauty within.
On our way to Tengboche, we pass through colourful Sherpa villages. You’ll find everything and more in the wonderful mountain city of Namche Bazaar. We cross swinging suspension bridges covered with Tibetan Prayer flags. You’ll see nothing greener than the beautiful terraced farmlands, and in Spring, walk through forests of bright rhododendrons.
Hold Your Breath for the Amazing Views at Tengboche!
You won’t be seeing the amazing line up of mountains for the first time, as they’ll regularly make an appearance throughout our trek. But you’ll find the view from Tengboche is superb. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the views during late afternoon. The next morning promises to be even more spectacular! We wake in time for sunrise and watch the sun turn our beloved mountains pink, orange and gold. Now that’s an Everest View!
Kathmandu
We return to Kathmandu the same way, taking a flight from Lukla and experiencing the adrenaline rush as the plane takes off downhill! After your fabulous adventure, you’ll want some time to relax in the capital.
Kathmandu is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so you’ll want to see some! Get more ideas about what to do in this Kathmandu Travel Guide.

Tour Reviews
I set up to do the Everest Panoramic Trek with Nepalorama in September 2022. Unfortunately, Lukla was cloudy and closed for air traffic for 4 consecutive days. Without wasting any more time on the second day I changed plans and decided to fly to Pokhara and do some trekking in the Anapurna area. My experience with Napalorama was fabulous. Had no problem about the change of plans and they made the changes – flights, hotels etc. Within minutes and I was off on the next flight. The late monsoons were not ideal for trekking, but I was able best use my limited time in Nepal. My guide Buddhi was superb. He is very knowledgeable in all the treks in this region and was always on the lookout for my best interest. On the first day I was held up at KTM airport for several hours waiting to see if Lukla would open up and was unable to contact my wife with an update (didn’t get a SIM card – my fault). My wife emailed Anna and she promptly kept her informed of my whereabouts. Appreciate that extra step Anna. This was a solo trip. I am planning to do the EBC in April and no doubt will go with Nepalorama. I would highly recommend them without any hesitation. Thanks Anna and Krishna for setting up my trek and looking forward to the next one.
Namaste Nepal!
My friend and I decided to make the first trek in Nepal and so we booked the Everest View Trek in last December. The view was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. We celebrated our New Year Eve at “Tengboche” (3,860 msl) with an awesome view of the Mt. Everest. We were lucky that our Guide understands the sea level people who had to deal with high altitude and coldness. It was indeed an unforgettable trip for us with professional support from our guide and porter. We have already booked our next trip with them and looking forward to it.
