The Everest Panorama Family Trek takes you deep into the heart of the Khumbu region inside Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in biodiversity and mountain culture. The journey begins with a flight from Tribhuvan International Airport to Lukla, followed by gentle trekking routes along the Dudh Koshi River valley.
