The Everest Panorama Trek reaches the heart of the Khumbu without continuing to Base Camp – an 11-day route that delivers extraordinary Sherpa culture and mountain scenery to trekkers who want the Everest experience without the full 15-day EBC commitment or the extreme altitude that comes with it. The route climbs from Lukla through Namche Bazaar to Tengboche Monastery (3,870m) – the most spectacularly sited gompa in Nepal – with consistent views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and the full Khumbu range throughout.
Tengboche Monastery is the spiritual heart of the Khumbu – a large, active gompa at 3,870m with Ama Dablam (6,856m) framed in its gateway and Everest visible on the northern horizon. The monastery's Mani Rimdu festival in October–November is one of Nepal's most spectacular Buddhist celebrations. Khumjung village is home to the Hillary School, built in 1961, and one of the region's most authentic Sherpa communities. Our 11-day programme includes two acclimatisation days and covers all the Khumbu's finest cultural and scenic highlights without exceeding 3,870m. For the complete EBC experience, see our Everest Base Camp Trek package. Includes: guide, porter, all meals, teahouse accommodation, all Khumbu permits, domestic flights Kathmandu–Lukla–Kathmandu. Best season: October–November and March–May.
