Everest Panorama Trekking - 9 Days

Everest Panorama TrekkingA trek to the high mountain landscape of Everest and Khumbu… This 10 days trek offers excellent views of Mt. Everest (8848m.) and the main peaks of the Khumbu region without going to extreme altitudes. Starting with a 45 minutes flight to Lukla airstrip we trek to Namche Bazar, the sherpa 'capital' and the principal town of the area. After a day of acclimatization we explore the traditional villages of Kunde and Khumjung set amongst incredible mountain scenery. We then trek to Thyangboche, the site of Nepal's most sacred Buddhist monastery. The views from this ridge above the Dudh Kosi is possibly the most beautiful with Mt. Everest looming over the Lhotse ridge and Ama Dablam towering above the monastery. Continue to Pangboche, the treks highest point, then onwards to Phortse we return back to Namche and Lukla to end the trek. In a nut shell: This trek offers best mountain views, culture, nature and the famed Sherpa hospitality!!
