Nepal Panorama Trek and Paraglide for an Epic Wellness Adventure
The Nepal Panorama trek is nestled among Nepal’s untouched and lesser-explored regions—an exquisite gem awaiting adventurous souls. While popular destinations like Annapurna, Everest, and Langtang often steal the limelight, this hidden central Nepal region remains a well-kept secret, shielded from the bustling footfall of mainstream tourists. This sense of seclusion makes the Nepal Panorama trek one of the most captivating and off-the-beaten-path experiences in the Himalayas.
A Journey for All: Embracing Nature with Ease
The Nepal Panorama trek is designed to cater to many travellers and offers an exceptional adventure suitable for families and older explorers. Rest assured that altitude will not obstruct this odyssey, as the trek’s highest point reaches a modest 2100 meters. With daily hiking durations averaging a relaxed 5-6 hours, there is ample time to soak in the awe-inspiring surroundings, allowing nature’s beauty to unfold at a leisurely pace. The moderate altitudes also make this trek a perfect choice for winter excursions, steering clear of the more challenging conditions at greater heights (in the context of the Himalayas).
Unveiling Timeless Tales: Echoes of History and Gurkha Legacy
As you traverse this less-explored region, prepare to be enchanted by the ancient folklore and unsung sagas that resonate through the land. Secrets from the past, including the captivating tale of Nepal’s last dynasty, will be whispered to you—an unofficial narrative that adds even more allure to your journey. Moreover, this area holds immense historical significance and is a cherished recruitment source for the world-renowned Gurkha soldiers. Their legendary bravery and unwavering dedication make the Nepal Panorama trek an opportunity not just for nature enthusiasts but also for those keen to explore the legacy of these esteemed warriors.

Itinerary
Upon arrival at Kathmandu airport, a representative will greet and assist you. They will accompany you to your hotel, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free transfer. Once you have settled in, you can meet the other members of your trekking group. During this meeting, a comprehensive briefing on the upcoming trek will provide you with essential information and instructions for a successful and enjoyable journey.
Commencing our journey bright and early post-breakfast, our expedition sets off along the major highway that interlinks Kathmandu with diverse regions of the country. Venturing towards the western direction of Kathmandu, our initial pause is earmarked for a significant historic site, an emblem of the last dynasty of rulers that governed the land. This brief but enriching stopover acquaints us with a crucial chapter of Nepal’s heritage.
Post this historic interlude, our trek ventures onwards, journeying for an additional hour to reach our designated overnight halt. Despite a distance of approximately 170 km, the terrain and the historical sites en route elongate our travel time, rendering the overall journey to span around 7 to 8 hours.
Our adept trekking crew springs into action upon reaching our evening destination, swiftly assembling our campsite. A warm and inviting reception awaits, with steaming hot beverages that provide a comforting respite after our day’s journey. This well-prepared setup ensures a comfortable and relaxed start to our expedition, setting the stage for the adventure ahead.
Waking up to the crisp mountain air, our day begins with a comforting hot drink delivered straight to our tents by our attentive team. As the sun begins its ascent, offering a breathtaking display of snow-capped peaks, we’re greeted with a warm water bowl for our morning rituals, whether a refreshing wash or a quick shave. With the morning serenity and the promise of the day ahead, we pack our duffel bags and prepare a hearty breakfast.
If the weather is kind, the panoramic views are spectacular. Across the horizon, Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Himalchuli, Boudha, Manaslu, and the majestic Annapurna range paint a stunning picture against the azure sky, offering a scenic backdrop to our adventure.
Our trek starts with an uphill climb, leading us through a couple of settlements before reaching Tuppo Bhanjyang, situated at 2100 meters, an accomplishment we achieve within an engaging 90 minutes. Heading westward, our journey unfolds along a fair-weather road, guiding us on a slow descent through unspoiled agricultural expanses and charming hamlets.
En route, our skilled kitchen crew skillfully surpasses our pace, preparing a delicious lunch awaiting our leisurely arrival. With a relaxed and rejuvenating break amidst the breathtaking landscapes, we continue towards our final destination for the day—a Gurung village nestled at 1630 meters. Our trek spans approximately 6 hours, providing ample time to soak in this captivating region’s natural beauty and cultural tapestry.
During our camping trek, our routine remains consistent—waking up to the warmth of a steaming cup of beverage, packing up our belongings before breakfast, and setting off for another adventure. Our trek begins with a descent lasting around 45 minutes, leading us to a quaint ravine, where we navigate a Himalayan glacier melt river—a natural boundary marking the meeting point of two districts.
From here, our journey takes on a more challenging phase with a steep ascent of 75 to 90 minutes, guiding us towards a Gurung village within the Char Thar area. Upon reaching this village, we continue our trek along a fair-weather road, absorbing the surrounding beauty as we venture toward our lunch spot. Our dedicated support crew works their magic here, conjuring up a hot, replenishing meal for our delight.
Refreshed and refuelled, we resumed our hike, trekking for another hour, our spirits buoyed by the anticipation of reaching our overnight stop. As the day approaches, we find ourselves greeted by our resting place for the night, a testament to our day’s journey filled with natural wonders and trekking triumphs.
Today’s trek commences with a gentle 45-minute walk across level ground, leading us to a tranquil stream. Our journey is enchanting as we ascend through a captivating landscape adorned with Alders, Oak, and Rhododendron forests. This scenic route echoes with the melodious tunes of birds and teems with vibrant wildlife, offering fleeting glimpses of Himalchuli and Boudha Himal, grand peaks that grace our path.
Our diligent kitchen crew orchestrates a lunch break at a water source along the trail, ensuring a delicious midday meal during our extended, serene halt amidst this natural oasis. Rejuvenated and satisfied, we resume our hike, gradually progressing through this picturesque uphill trail, unveiling breathtaking vistas at every turn. Our day culminates as we reach our evening resting place, marked by an immersive experience amidst the captivating natural beauty.
We embark on our trail, traversing rolling terrain for an hour before descending through quaint hamlets, passing by a local school along our path, providing an opportunity for a visit and connection with the community.
Upon ascending beyond the school, our kitchen crew sets up for a satisfying lunch break in a nearby village. Post-refreshment, our journey continues with mostly uphill trekking, navigating through a captivating blend of forests teeming with Oak, Lapsi (Nepalese Hog Plum), Chestnut, and Rhododendron trees.
Experience the charm of village pathways embraced by vibrant forests bustling with life, featuring an array of bird species like the White Crested Laughing Thrush and Kalij Pheasants, as well as occasional sightings of deer. Some locals even recount stories of wild rabbits that once inhabited these woods.
As we conclude our day’s hike, we arrive at a vantage point known for its breathtaking “Grand Panorama,” a sight that beckons you to witness the expansive beauty of this trek, revealing an extraordinary vista that remains a hidden gem, inviting exploration and awe.
