There are few reasons why people choose this trek instead of Everest Base Camp Trek. The first time trekkers in Nepal, those with old age, people having the fear of altitude sickness and those having just few days travel time put this trek as their priority over Everest Base Camp Trek or any other treks.
Everest Panorama Trek, a part of Everest Trekking begins after a 35 minutes scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the unique Sherpa Town in Khumbu Region where you can experience a closer look to this legendary ethnic Sherpa people and their culture. Once we reach Lukla, we will walk towards the path along with the side of Dudh Koshi River to reach Phakding for your first overnight stop within the mountain region. Then, we head towards Namche Bazar, a trading outpost where the Tibetan and Nepalese people sell their wares.

Eventhough Everest Panorama Trek forms only a part of Everest Trekking route and is relatively easier than other treks, it offers a wide range of fascinating views along with world’s highest peaks that includes Everest, Thamserku, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and others. We're sure you will never get tired of watching those nature gifts and would add a good experience to taste Himalayan trekking.

Kishaant P
“Incredible EBC Trek” - February 2017
Just recently finished a fantastic 12 days trekking using Imperial Nepal. This experience was excellent.
Our guide, Hari Amgai, was funny, caring, and always positive. He went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to making sure we were comfortable and feeling okay ascending the mountain. His knowledge of the area definitely made for an insightful journey. If you decide to reserve a trip, go with Hari hands down!!!
Paras, our Trek Manager, was very organized and communicative through all stages of the planning of the trip.
Overall, I would recommend Imperial Nepal to my closest friends and family -- simply a wonderful experience!
