FAQs

The Everest Panorama Trek is a short and relatively easy trek that offers stunning views of the Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, without going to higher altitudes like the Everest Base Camp. It is perfect for beginners or those with limited time, as it usually takes about 9-10 days, compared to 12-16 days for the Everest Base Camp Trek.

The best times for this trek are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), when the weather is stable, skies are clear, and the mountain views are at their best. Winter (December-February) is also possible but colder, while monsoon (June-August) is not recommended due to heavy rainfall and poor trail conditions.

Yes, this trek is ideal for beginners and families. The altitudes are moderate (up to 3880m), and the daily walking distances are manageable. However, a basic level of fitness is recommended, and proper acclimatization is essential to avoid altitude sickness.

While the trek does not reach extreme altitudes, some trekkers may experience mild symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Proper acclimatization, staying hydrated, ascending gradually, and taking rest days, such as the acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar, can help prevent AMS.

You will need two permits: Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit (approximately USD 30). Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit (approximately USD 20). These permits can be obtained in Kathmandu or at the trailhead.

The trek follows a tea house trekking style, offering basic lodges with twin-sharing rooms. Meals include local dishes like Dal Bhat, noodles, soups, Tibetan bread, and momos. Vegetarian options are widely available, and water can be purchased or purified using tablets or filters.

Start preparing 1-2 months before the trek with light cardio exercises like walking, jogging, or cycling. Practice hikes with a backpack to improve stamina and get comfortable with trekking boots. Packing essentials include layered clothing, trekking poles, a sleeping bag, and a reusable water bottle.

Flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are often delayed or rescheduled due to weather conditions. It is recommended to keep an extra buffer day in Kathmandu to avoid missing international flights.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory and should cover trekking up to 4000m and helicopter evacuation in case of emergencies. Ensure your policy includes coverage for Nepal and high-altitude activities.

Wi-Fi is available in most tea houses, but it may be slow and require a small fee. Electricity is also available for charging devices, but it might cost extra. It is recommended to carry a power bank for convenience.
