Everest Panorama Trek , although relatively easy compared to some of the other treks, takes you up high along trails to Tengboche Monastery (3850m). This is a short trek but very scenic trek offers a really superb view of the world's highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and other many snowy peaks. We fly from Kathmandu to Lukla airstrip in the Khumbu region and trek up to Namche Bazar , Tyangboche (famous for its monastery) and into the Khumjung village, a very nice settlement of Sherpas people. This trek is a great introduction to Sherpa country and its culture with great mountain views, a very popular destination for first-time trekkers in Nepal. This trek is best suited for those who do not have enough time for longer treks into the high mountains.

Amazing private trek – felt completely at home!
I recently went on a private trek to Mardi Himal with The Great Adventure Treks & Expedition, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our guide, Jaya, was outstanding. He is extremely professional and well-experienced, which made the entire trek feel safe and enjoyable. He knew exactly how to pace the trek and shared so much knowledge along the way. A special shout-out to the big BOSSS, Mani!! He is so friendly and helpful, going out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He really knows how to make guests feel like family rather than just customers. If you are looking for a reliable company that treats you with genuine care, I highly recommend them! 我最近參加了 The Great Adventure Treks & Expedition 的私人健行行程,從頭到尾的體驗都非常棒。我們的嚮導 Jaya 非常出色,他不僅專業且經驗豐富,讓我們在整個健行過程中感到非常安心和愉快。他非常懂得掌握節奏,沿途也分享了很多知識。 特別要感謝老闆 Mani,他非常友善且樂於助人,竭盡所能確保我們一切順利。他真的讓客人感覺像家人一樣,而不僅僅是顧客。如果你正在尋找一家值得信賴且真心關懷客人的公司,我強烈推薦他們!
One of the best treks of my life! My guide, Binod, is so sweet and passionate about his job and knows everything. Without him this would’ve been such a different experience, because he always makes sure you’re happy and comfortable. The organisation was also perfect so I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Perfect👌
This trip to Nepal was truly unforgettable, and it’s all thanks to The Great Adventure Treks and Expedition. From the very first moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized — a private car and driver were waiting for us, and we felt cared for every step of the way. A special thank you to our driver Dinesh Ranaphali — always calm, focused, and extremely professional. We felt completely safe and relaxed during all our journeys. Our guide Lil Bahadur was outstanding: his stories, knowledge, and passion for Nepal’s history, temples, and culture made every tour come alive. We experienced so many incredible moments — flying to Everest by helicopter, tasting delicious Nepalese food, exploring stunning temples in Kathmandu, and relaxing in Pokhara with breathtaking Himalayan views. All of this was possible thanks to Mani, whose dedication, kindness, and attention to every detail turned this trip into something truly special. This is not just a tour company — it’s a team that works with heart. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you as well for the wonderful final dinner. Davide & Marta
On this trip, we found The Great Adventure travel agency online. The owner, Mani, is very easy to communicate with and extremely capable when it comes to arranging itineraries. After arriving in Nepal, if there were any adjustments needed, we could always discuss them with him, and he would do his best to help. Thanks to Mani’s arrangements over the past few days, we were able to visit Pokhara and enjoy the beautiful Himalayan views. We traveled there by car and decided to return by flight, and he took care of everything for us. We are very grateful for his help. If we visit Nepal again in the future, we will definitely ask Mani to assist us again.
