Safety and altitude

Everest Panorama Trek reaches 3,860 m, which is moderate altitude. Most people adapt well when they climb slowly, so the pace of the itinerary matters more than fitness alone.

How we pace it

The higher routes include acclimatisation days. Your guide checks every day how you are coping, can add a rest day, and will turn the group around if conditions or anyone's health make it unsafe to go on.

Know the signs

Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness and poor sleep are early signs of altitude sickness: tell your guide and do not go higher. Confusion, breathlessness at rest or unsteady walking are serious: descend at once.

Insurance and rescue

Travel insurance that covers medical treatment, air ambulance and helicopter rescue is a condition of booking. Check that your policy covers trekking up to 4,000 m. If an evacuation is needed, we coordinate it with your insurer.

Our crew

Our guides are licensed and come mostly from the mountain regions. Porters carry no more than 25–30 kg, are insured, and are never sent down alone when they are sick or hurt.

An epic journey!

Dec 2024 • Couples

What was meant to be an 8-day Everest Panorama Trek turned into a 13-day epic journey to Everest Base Camp. All thanks to Mountain Delight and their flexibel guide and porter. Back in Kathmandu we stayed at Kathmandu Garden Home. The name reflects very well the ambiance of the hotel with its friendly staff ready to assist with tips of where to go and to visit. An extra perk is the nice garden next to the outdoor bar. I

Everest panorama Trek

May 2018 • Family

My 18 year old son and I had a fantastic trip to Nepal organized by Mountain Delights and we could not have been happier. The service provided was extraordinary. Ram, the owner took so good care of us and arranged helicopter for us to reach lukla not to miss any trekking days. Guide Mingur was top class in his knowledge and spoke good English and had a great sense of humor. Porter Brem kept up the same speed as us and always met us with a smile. We felt safe and very well cared for. I would recommend any trip with Mountain Delight and I feel it's great value for your bucks. The Everest Panorama trek is perfect if you don't have a lot of time but me and my son both agreed- we will be back for a longer trek next time.

10D Everest Panorama Trek

Sep 2017 • Friends

Was compelled to write a review for Mountain Delights as the owner, Mr Ram, has been very gracious and even went the extra mile of taking care of our every needs from start to end of our trip. For e.g. he surprised us by arranging a private car for us out of goodwill even though we had plans to take a taxi to travel around Kathmandu.

Mr Bhim, our mountain guide and employee of Mountain Delights, was exceptionally chatty and jovial. He helped lightened the mood and always kept a look out for my friend who had a bad knee during the trek.

It was helpful that Bhim spoke perfect english and always initiated conversations and shared wild stories in between meals. When we needed more time to take more photos along the way or requested for more food (order dal bhat theres unlimited refills!), he accedes to our requests without hesitation.

Mr Bhim seems to strike a chord with all of the guesthouse owners that we've stayed with and so we had little or no trouble at all during our overnight rests. We really have lots of respect to the locals seeing the way they make an honest living despite the circumstances.

We are already missing Nepal and Will definitely engage Mountain delights when we come back for a second time! probably for a longer stay this time:)
