Essential Information

Best Time to Trek Everest Panorama Trek

Spring (March to May):

Spring is one of the most popular seasons for trekking. The weather is generally mild, with day temperatures ranging between 10°C and 15°C and cooler nights in the higher altitudes of the journey.
Most of the skies will be apparent, providing excellent mountain visibility. The rhododendrons on the trails are also in full bloom, decorating the landscape with colour. This would be a wonderful time if the trekkers prefer moderate temperatures and natural beauty.

Autumn (September to November):

Autumn provides stable weather, with cool daytime temperatures of 10°C to 12°C and nighttime temperatures that may drop to -5°C at higher elevations. The weather is dry with clear skies, thus promising excellent visibility of the surrounding peaks.
This season is preferred for trekking due to the crisp air, tranquil weather conditions, and mind-boggling views of the snow-capped mountains of the Everest region. It's perfect for those seeking reliable conditions for their trek.

Accommodation and Meals During the Trek

Teahouses and lodges along the route

You will be accommodated in teahouses and lodges, offering basic but comfortable accommodations. These small, family-run establishments provide cozy rooms with basic amenities like a bed, blankets, and shared bathroom facilities. Teahouses are scattered along the Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and Tengboche trek routes. While they may not have modern luxuries, they usually give a warm and welcoming environment that's important for rest after a long day of trekking.

Traditional Nepali Meals and what to expect

Nepali meals are hearty and nutritious, designed to fuel you for your daily trek. Typical dishes include dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice), momo (dumplings), and thukpa (noodle soup). You'll also see Tibetan bread, vegetable curry, and potatoes with every meal. Most offer a few similar menus of Western options- pasta, pancakes, and soup for a bit of variation. Of course, the inevitable drinks of choice to keep you warm at altitude are Tea, Coffee, and Hot Chocolate.

The Everest Panorama Trek is a journey into some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes. It takes you through the lively streets of Kathmandu to serene monasteries at Tengboche. Every step greets you with stunning views and rich experiences. From a first-time trekker to an experienced adventurer, the trek will present memories to be cherished forever.
