Thirling flight in and out of Lukla airport
The flight to Lukla airport is famous worldwide because of its elevation and small runway. During the flight, the aerial views of the Himalayas are breathtaking. At 2,860 meters, the flight landing and take-off experience are no doubt nerve-racking.
Everest Panorama Trek Preparation
Unlike the other treks in the Everest region, you do not have to do anything hardcore for Everest panorama trekking. The trail is easygoing and only demands long walking hours. Take care of your health and work on your stamina. You have to walk 6 to 7 hours daily, so prepare for that.
Have 3 to 4 weeks at least on your hand to prepare for the trek. To physically prepare your body, go on short hikes or walks. You can swim, cycle, or jog to build your stamina.
We also recommend breaking into your trekking shoes before the beginning of the trek to get used to them (if it is new). This way, you do not have to deal with blisters during the trek.
Visit your doctor once and ask whether your body can see a medical emergency during the trek. We recommend this to travelers who have any previous medical history. Also, get a prescription for headaches, colds, and poor digestion.
