Everest Panorama Trek 2027: Cost, 9-Day Itinerary, Tengboche and Khumjung

Updated 6 November 2026.

Short answer: our Everest Panorama trek is 9 days from Kathmandu: fly to Lukla, walk to Namche Bazaar, up to the Everest View Hotel (3,880 m), on to Tengboche Monastery and the Sherpa village of Khumjung, then back down. It costs from USD 1,135 per person for a group of 2 to 4 on Budget, USD 1,935 on Standard and USD 3,935 on Luxury. A solo traveller pays USD 1,560, 2,175 or 4,355. The Lukla flights, permits and guide are included, and you never sleep higher than 3,860 m.

The trip is on the Everest Panorama Trek, 9 days page. It is for people who want to see Everest, Ama Dablam and Lhotse up close without the altitude and the long days of the base camp trek.

How much does the Everest Panorama trek cost in 2027?

Prices are per person, in US dollars, for 2027, from our package page today.

The price is the same for a private trek and a group trek, and we never put separate private bookings together. Taxes and our service charge are included. The deposit is 10%. If you pay the balance by card there is a 3.5% bank charge; cash in Kathmandu has none. We take USD or EUR.

Most of the price is the Lukla flight and, on Luxury, the helicopter. That is why Luxury barely drops for bigger groups: every guest needs their own helicopter seat.

What does each tier include?

Every tier also has airport pick-up and drop-off, a first aid kit and pulse oximeter, a sleeping bag and down jacket on loan if you need them, free luggage storage in Kathmandu, and a farewell meal.

What is not included?

• International flights, and the Nepal visa (USD 30 for 15 days or USD 50 for 30 days, paid on arrival).
• Hotel nights in Kathmandu, including the spare day at the end. We can book them for you.
• Tea or coffee at the Everest View Hotel, and donations at Tengboche Monastery and the Khumjung gompa.
• Wifi, hot showers, charging, heated blankets and anything else outside the room price, paid by you to the teahouse.
• Drinks you buy on the trail, travel insurance, tips, and an extra porter (USD 25 a day plus 13% VAT and the 3.5% bank charge).

Your travel insurance should cover trekking to 4,000 m and helicopter rescue. Buy it at home.

What do the permits cost?

All are already in our price. For your own budgeting: the Sagarmatha National Park permit is NPR 3,000, the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality fee is NPR 3,000 and the TIMS card is NPR 2,000, about USD 53 per person together.

How do the 9 days run?

Day 2 is the hardest, with the long climb up to Namche. Tengboche is the best evening of the trip: the monastery, and Ama Dablam and Everest in the last light. Khumjung is a real Sherpa village under Khumbila, with the school Sir Edmund Hillary started in 1961 and a quiet gompa. The full plan is on the package page.

Everest Panorama, Everest View or Everest Base Camp?

If you only have a week, the 7-day Everest View trek does Namche and Tengboche and comes straight back. The Panorama trek adds the Khumjung night and a spare day, which matters because Lukla flights are often delayed by cloud. If you want to stand at base camp, take the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek.
