Tour Overview
The Nepal Panorama trek takes place in one of the many undiscovered remote trekking places in Nepal. Most people are only aware of the popular regions Annapurna, Everest, and Langtang. This area is in central Nepal that is unknown to adventure tourists because it does not have ‘tea houses’ or ‘lodges,’ or trekking tour operators do not promote these areas. The Nepal Panorama trek is genuinely one of the best-secluded trekking routes in a non-touristic part of the Nepal Himalayas. This region is ideal for families and elderly adventurers, as the altitude doesn’t go above 2100 meters and daily hiking is 5-6 hours at a relaxed pace. This trek is also suitable during the winter months as the height is not too high (by Himalayan standards). You will be trekking in a part of Nepal with a rich history of how the last dynasty came to rule Nepal (be prepared for an unofficial story that is “hushed’). It is also one of the favourite recruitment grounds of the world-renowned Gurkha soldiers. We will operate this trip on a ‘luxurious’ expedition-style camping trek. We provide all camping equipment, porterage or pack animals, trek leader, assistant guides, a trekking chef, and helpers.

We start our hike with an uphill climb. We will pass a couple of settlements to Tuppo Bhanjyang 2100 meters in about 90 minutes after beginning our trek. We go westwards on a fair-weather road as we descent slowly amidst pristine agricultural land and small hamlets.

We have a steep climb for about 75-90 minutes until we reach a Gurung village in the Char Thar area.
