Ture to its name, this trek is all about the view of Everest & its companion peaks along with culture & norms of Khumbu region. Beside the views and cultural insights, the experiences that you will collect in course of trekking are simply magical. Walking through pristine forest with chanting of birds, encounter of wildlife and thunder sound of streams make the trek really wild and appealing.

Everest view trek journey starts with a short scenic flight to Lukla town – the door to Everest region. The actual trek starts from Lukla. You will follow the glacial river Dudh Koshi most of time and pass several traditional Sherpa villages enriched with old culture and custom and backed-up with awe inspiring sceneries. You will continue following the glacial Dudh Koshi River upstream and finally reach the famous Sherpa’s capital at Namche Bazaar, with all kinds of modern facilities, hotels, lodge, restaurants, bakery, Cyber café, post office and banks.
From Namche heading higher through beautiful serene woodlands of rhododendron, birch, pines and firs tree lines with tremendous views of high snow-capped mountain, you will reach the famous Tengboche monastery surrounded by high mountains. Tengboche is the largest and most significant monastery in the entire Khumbu region,
You will then slowly head back to quaint villages of Khunde and Khumjung on the glacial wide valley located beneath the holy Khumbi-la Mountain “The Patron God” of Khumbu region. At Khumjung, you will visit the local museum which houses the skull of Yeti and also explore the Hillary School & interact with students.

Everest view trek is the shortened form of Great Everest Base Camp Trek. In Everest Base Camp Trek, the actual difficulty starts beyond Tengboche. As you will not be visiting areas beyond Tengboche, this trek would be relatively easy.
Add to this, the trail does not cross 4,000m elevation – meaning – there is little chance of altitude sickness and the air you will be inhaling won’t bother you.
Well, being said that, there are definitely some sections that do test your strength and endurance. The series of ups and downs, uneven terrain and long walking hours will challenge the average hikers. However, this trek might be a piece of cake for intrepid hikers.
Despite the thin chance of altitude sickness, there is still room for it. The key to altitude sickness is walk slow, stay hydrated and schedule at least one acclimatization day at high altitude.
Taking care of altitude and fitness, we have seen many young & elder, oversized & undersized people completing the trek successfully with a smile on their face. Even the children above 12 are welcome but make sure that you keep eye on them.
The best time for Everest view trek depends on how you wish to trek and what you wish to see.
If you are after the views and local festivals, autumn (September – November) and spring (March – May) are the best season for this trek. The weather during these months tend to remain stable and views are astonishingly clear. Likewise, many local festivals are celebrated in autumn and spring.
If you wish to avoid crowd and want solitary experience, Monsoon and winter would be the great season for Everest view trek.

The Tengboche & Everest Panorama Trek is considered a moderate trek and requires a moderate level of physical fitness and endurance. The trek involves some steep ascents and descents, but is generally less challenging than other treks in the region. However, proper acclimatization and preparation are still crucial to completing this trek safely.
The best time to do the Tengboche & Everest Panorama Trek is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) seasons. These seasons offer clear skies, mild temperatures, and stable weather conditions, making it easier to trek in the high-altitude terrain. However, be prepared for colder temperatures and occasional snowfall at higher altitudes.
Yes, you will need several permits to trek in the Everest region, including the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entry Permit, and the Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) card. These permits can be obtained in Kathmandu or at the entrance of the national park.
Accommodation during the Tengboche & Everest Panorama Trek ranges from basic teahouses to more luxurious lodges, depending on the location and altitude. Teahouses are small guesthouses that offer basic facilities such as a bed, shared bathroom, and simple meals. Lodges provide more amenities such as private rooms, hot showers, and a wider selection of meals. However, at higher altitudes, the facilities become more basic due to the remote location and harsh climate.
To prepare for the Tengboche & Everest Panorama Trek, it is important to focus on building your physical fitness and endurance through regular exercise and hiking. You should also acclimate to higher altitudes gradually and take necessary precautions such as staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet, and getting adequate rest. It is also recommended to pack appropriate gear and clothing for the trek, such as a warm jacket, waterproof boots, and a high-quality sleeping bag
