Travel safe, fun, meaningful and unforgettable
Everest Region, the region of four Eight-thousanders, is always on the bucket list of every mountain and trekking lover. But not everyone can experience the area; high altitude and strenuous uphill climbs are enemies for some people. However, there are several easy treks to do in the Everest Region for such trekkers.
One of them is the Everest Panorama Trek, an easy and short way to be in the lap of Mt Everest. The program is specifically made for those who cannot trek long uphill hours and cannot stand high altitudes. The one who does this trek will experience the same beauty and glory of the region without taking too many chances.
You will begin this adventure with a flight to Lukla, the doorway to Everest. Upon the landing, you will catch the trail of Everest Base Camp Trek. You will trek through the classical Sherpa villages like Phakding, Monjo, and Namche Bazaar, and ultimately end up in Tengboche. The village of the largest monastery in the region and its incredible mountain views, Tengboche(3,860m), will be the highest point of the trek.
On this journey up to Tengboche, you will witness the lifestyle of Sherpas, the richness of vegetation of the region, the breathtaking terrains, the rivers and the suspension bridges over them, monasteries, and more. Yet, the most relaxing part will be the mountain views that you will see throughout the trek. The likes of Mt Everest, Mt Ama Dablam, Mt Lhotse, Mt Pumori, and others will greet you with excellent mountain displays.
As said earlier, this trek is highly recommended to those who cannot afford any risks of high altitudes and exhausting trek. Besides, trekkers with short travel schedules can also be part of this adventure. You will experience the home of Mt Everest without taking any chances in quite a short time.

Our greeting will be in your hands as you land at Kathmandu Airport., The team will pick you up from there to transfer you to the hotel. In the hotel, you will get over the flight by taking a bath and resting. As you freshen up, we will have an evening exploration of the city, followed by a welcome dinner with the entire trekking team. Later, you will return to your hotel for the night.
On the second day, we will have a short tour of the city's heritage sites. It will give you a look at the Nepalese rich art, culture, and traditions. Places like Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath Temple, and Basantapur Durbar Square will be on our list. While we ramble around the alleys of Kathmandu, our team from Sabbatical Explore Nepal will arrange all the trek permits and tickets for us. A well-spent day in Kathmandu will end as you reach your hotel for the nighttime.
In the morning, we will transfer to the Kathmandu Domestic Airport for a flight to Lukla, the starting place of the trek. It will be a 35 to 40-minute flight over the breathtaking landscapes of Nepal. As we land in Lukla, we will sit for breakfast while other trek arrangements are made. After, we will set off from Lukla through a downhill trail to the river bed of Dudh Koshi River. Crossing several suspension bridges, and villages and having walked for several hours, we will end up in Phakding, the first stop of every Everest Region Trek. We will settle for a comfortable night in a teahouse in Phakding.
The breakfast in Phakding will fuel us on the trail towards Namche Bazaar. We will be walking on the sides of the Dudh Koshi River and cross several suspension bridges. Soon we will end up in Monjo, the starting point of Sagarmatha National Park. Then our trek becomes more and more scenic as we see mountains for the first time on the trek. However, there will be several uphills that will take us to Namche Bazaar. We will finally arrive in Namche, the beautiful Himalayan town, after walking for 5-6 hrs. Overnight in Namche.
It will be a free day in Namche Bazaar, where we will perform hikes around to get comfortable with the altitudes. Namche is a great place to spend a whole day. It is full of the life of Sherpas, and if you go a little away from here, we will find the authentic Sherpa villages too. Therefore, after a short walk around the town's alleys, we will head towards Khumjung and Khumde, the two biggest Sherpa settlements of the region. We will have alternative hiking places like Syangboche Airport Sherpa Culture Museum or Everest View Hotel. Following the hike, we will get back to Namche Bazaar.
Next to the acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar, we will continue our trek to Tengboche. It will be done by following an uphill trail from Namche Bazaar. A little away from the town while on the trail, we will start viewing the majestic Ama Dablam and other mountains. As the day goes on, we will trek through a dense wood where we may see several wild animals. In this way, we will reach Tengboche, the village of Tengboche Monastery. We will spend a beautiful evening there by watching the visions of Ama Dablam.
Tengboche is the ultimate stop of the Everest Panorama Trek. Keeping that in mind, we will explore the village and monastery area before leaving it for Namche Bazaar. We will have a retracing trek on the same trail which will end us in Namche's busy streets. Walking through the same forested trail, Dudh Koshi's banks, and the suspension bridges, and enjoying the picturesque mountains, we will be back in the town to have the night's rest.
We will have a farewell breakfast in Namche before we join the trail to Lukla. The trek will start with a downhill descent to the riverbed of Dudh Koshi River and Hillary Suspension Bridge. Following the river through Monjo and Phakding, we will arrive back in Lukla. It will be a long trekking day when we will switch straight from Namche to Lukla. Overnight in Lukla.
As per the weather conditions, we will join a flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. There can be some delay if the clouds are not open up. If everything seems okay, it will take only 40 minutes to touch Kathmandu. We will get to the hotel in Kathmandu from the airport. After freshening up, we can have an evening time around the happening places in Kathmandu.
As we have already completed Everest Panorama Trek, we will leave you at the Airport for your departure from Kathmandu. Farewell!

After Bhaktapur, we went to trekking to Kalo and Seto kunda. It was major with two holy lakes of Nepal which helps to shows the Himalayan beauty of Ganesh Himal. The one who offers for trekking in Kalo and Seto Kunda got a great opportunity to learn and experience typical Tamang and Gurung culture.
The trek of Kalo and Seto Kunda was with the guide and he had arranged of vehicles from Kathmandu to Syabrubeshi which takes 8 to 9 hours to reach Syabrubeshi. Syabrubeshi is taken as the gateway to Langtang valley which is situated at the confluence of Bhotekosi River and Langtang Khola. i and my friend will defenately visit again to Kathmandu and we are sure for Social Tourism & Sabbatical Explore Nepal are the best career break trip planner in Nepal.

The trip was well worth it! I was in Nepal last Autumn with the team of Shiva and Kiran, whom I knew from my colleagues. I was confused about where to go. But my expert friends, Shiva and Kiran, suggested I do their best-selling Nepal Panorama Tour. I'm glad they suggested it. I am not a hiking person, my body does not let me be. So I went on a tour of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. In Kathmandu, I saw a lot of historical and time-traveling sites. Pokhara was so much vivid by Fewa Lake; I enjoyed the boat riding there. And Chitwan was unimaginably full of nature. I saw rhinos, elephants, birds, crocodiles. I was expecting the Bengal Tiger, but luck did not favor me. Except for that, Chitwan treated me quite well. Overall, the trip felt so smooth and rewarding. I traveled around Nepal panoramically. Thanks!

“I had a lot of fun on this trek. We had a seven days trek to Langtang from Kathmandu. My guide Sabin karki was super awesome. He was motivating, fun, and the perfect companion for the given situation. I am more than happy with the service provided on this trip. They organized the whole trek in a way that allowed me to both acclimatize progressively and enjoy the Langtang valley beauty. I had a blast and had the time of my life. Thank you so much, Sabbatical Explore Nepal, and Sabin karki for making this trip possible :).”
