    Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flight updates for Everest Panorama Trek

    The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and back is diverted to Manthali Airport, Ramechap, in peak season. It is because of the air traffic at Kathmandu Airport. Hence, for this Everest Panorama Trek as well, you have to travel to Ramecchap, driving for 4-5 hours and catch the flight. Often, trekkers will travel at midnight to catch the flight the next morning.

    How hard is the 7-Day Everest Panorama Trek?

    The Everest Panorama Trek is an easy-to-moderate level trek suitable for all age groups. Having said that, trekkers will encounter several steep ascents and descents during the trek. Hence, we suggest trekkers to at least prepare for 1-2 months before the trek. Also, the trail involves a lot of suspension bridges, which can be hard for some trekkers.

    Besides the trail, the chances of altitude sickness are very low on this trek. You will stay an extra night at Namche for acclimatisation. Overall, the Everest Panorama Trek is not that hard. But, trekkers must be physically and mentally ready to combat a few challenges.

    Best Time for Everest Panorama Trek

    The best time for the Everest Panorama Trek is during the months of Spring and Autumn.

    Spring (March–May)

    Autumn (September–November)

    Crisp air, excellent visibility, and comfortable temperatures define autumn trekking in the Everest region.

    Winter & Monsoon

    Winter offers quiet trails but colder temperatures, while the monsoon brings clouds and rain. Both seasons are possible with flexible planning.
