In the beautiful scenery and low altitude of Everest, what comes after world famous Mt. Everest base camp trek (8848m)?? Is none other than Everest panorama view trek with the most beautiful Everest view trekking experience after base camp Trekking or Gokyo Ri trek.

The Everest Panorama View Trek is the ideal trekking package for beginner trekkers or those on a tight schedule looking for amazing scenery without the exhaustive journey to high altitudes to 5000+ meters in the Everest region. This trek will take you to one of the best viewing locations in the Everest region, at the midpoint along the Everest Base Camp trail. You will explore most of the lower regions of Everest. Mount Everest can be seen on the second day of trekking in the distance, with closer viewings on Day 3 to Day 5.
Everest panorama View Trek vs. Trekking to Everest Base Camp
1. Physical Requirements/ Everest panorama View Trek Difficulty
This is a relatively easy trek and an introduction to the region for those who prefer an easy trek without much need for acclimatization or extended time in high altitudes.
Everest panorama View Trek takes the same trail as Everest Base Camp but stops at Tengboche, which is about halfway to Everest BaseCamp.
Despite being a shorter and easier trek, adventurers are still expected to be in moderately good shape in order to complete the journey. The highest elevation you will climb to is around 4000m above sea level compared to the approx. 5500m for Everest Base Camp. Although 1500m may not sound like much, every meter when it comes to high altitudes! The lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes can put significant strain on the body.
Most trekkers successfully trek to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche without much trouble, although being in good health is still a pre-requisite. Be ready to sweat!
If you are on a tight schedule, this may be an ideal way to spend a few days in the region and see Mt. Everest with your own eyes. The trek can be done in a week from Lukla to Tengboche and back, compared to Everest Basecamp, which is at least 12 days.
2. Scenery
If you’re coming for the beauty of the region, then rest assured that both treks will provide you plenty of gorgeous landscapes to marvel at. Everest panorama View Trek is considered by many to be a panoramic trek. Every day you will awake to the view snow-capped picturesque mountains, cross flowing rivers and walk under the lush green canopies of the forest at lower elevations. As you climb higher, you will come across the temples and ancestral homes of the Sherpa people, seeing for yourself some of the most iconic landscapes of Nepal.
Once you reach above the height of 4000 meters above sea level at Tengboche, it will be the closest view of Mount Everest possible. Many people don’t know this but you cannot actually see Mount Everest from base camp!
2.2 Cultural aspect
In Everest panorama View Trek, our journey ends at one of the oldest and largest monasteries in the Khumbu region. Near a hilltop close to Tengboche village, you will be at a similar height to the top of Everest in terms of aerial distance. The illusion of height and distance in geometry makes us feel as if we are on level to the top of Mount Everest.
Tengboche is also the last site for trekkers below the tree line – the elevation at which trees stop growing. For Everest Base Camp trekkers who venture onwards, the rest of their journey will comprise of increasingly barren landscapes and shrubs as they edge closer to base camp and the glaciers that await.
For Everest panorama View trekkers, however, there is still much greenery to enjoy and much to see. At Tengboche Monastery, we can attend the regular ceremony of the temple in the morning and the evening. Monks of Tengboche lets us pray and welcome trekkers to stay during the regular puja ceremony inside the monastery. Trekkers can also go to nearby Khumjung and Khunde villages to see the famous yeti scalp.
