Everest Panorama Trek

Everest Panorama Trek, also known as the Everest View Trek lets you experience the full excitement of being close to the Everest region's mountains. While fairly simple compared to some other treks, Everest Panorama View Trek takes you up high along the trails to Tengboche Monastery (3,850m). In such a quiet and exciting environment, the artistic monastery will uplift the belief in God. The trek offers a great view of the prominent peaks of Mt. Kusum Kangaru (6,370m), Thamserku (6,618m), Kantega (6,783m), Ama Dablam (6,814m), Island peak (6,165m), Lhotse (8,516m), Everest (8,848.86m), Nuptse (7,864m), Taboche Peak (6,495m) and Kwangde (6,187m) and several other well-known peaks. Everest Panorama Trekking is best suited for those who don't have enough time to get into the high mountains for longer treks. Our 11 days journey starts with a visit to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu, before moving to the most desirable Everest area. We trek to Phakding and head to Namche Bazaar - the capital of the Khumbu zone. Our journey includes a drive to Tengboche, famous for its historic temple of Buddhism. We find our own way back to Lukla via Khumjung and the village of Phakding following Tengboche. The trek highlights a wide array of beautiful mountain scenery coupled with exclusive cultural experiences with the residents of Sherpa and the world's highest Buddhist monastery. Everest Panorama Trek can be a wonderful journey to witness the magic that exists in the Everest region of Nepal.

For sure my Mt. Everest panorama trek (from Lukla north to Tengboche), transition via helicopter, and Wongchhu Sherpa Memorial Hospital site and trek (Chyangba to Phaplu) exceeded all of my expectations. I signed up for this particular trek because, in addition to awesome outdoor experiences, part of the money goes toward completion of the hospital that will serve the people of Chyangba village and the lower Solukhumbu region.

I've been to Nepal a number of times Wongchhu Peak Promotions gave by far the best trekking experience I've ever been on. Great communications and pre-trek information, friendly and knowledgeable staff, meals were always great. I will only use WPP on my future trips.

Gary Mclean, USA

We recently returned from Nepal where we trekked part of the way to Everest base camp, then took part in an amazing cultural experience and trekked in a less-traveled area. I cannot say enough about the professionalism demonstrated by Wongchhu Peak and its outstanding service. We always felt secure, informed and knew we were getting the insider view of Nepal from our very knowledgeable guides!!

Maria McGrane, Mexico

Wongchu Peak Promotion staff took care of every detail from our arrival at the Kathmandu Airport to departure. Anxiety-NONE! How does WPP’s do it? They treat each and every guest as family and their staff truly walks the talk!! Read More...

Rick Allen, Mexico

Thank you so much for everything. Under your watchful eyes I have been able to enjoy one of the most memorable and rewarding experience of my life . Chyangba and Khamding are both beautiful, and I truly appreciate the hospitality we were shown there by you all, your families and your community at large. Take care and perhaps we will cross paths once again.

Joseph Hernandez, USA

Despite being the first time outside the U.S.A. I felt very welcome here in Nepal by everyone and the team at the Wongchhu Peak Promotion made me feel very taken care of even when things got very rough during our trekking with nearly monsoon rainfall and slippery paths. That dinner at Phaplu with fried chicken and cake will always be memorable to me. Thank you Wongchhu Peak Promotion for making my first experience in Nepal a pleasurable one. I hope that there are many future treks and trips to Nepal to come.
