With LR Photo Merge or Microsoft ICE, panoramas are easy:

But this ignores the fact that the mountains in Nepal, not New England, often rise 10000' or more - in narrow valleys. Although I've not trekked to the Everest area, the relief there goes from around 16000' to 29000'. On the Manaslu trek (photos are film) we camped in a meadow at 11,200' with Manaslu towering more than 15000' directly above rhododendron covered forests within 1/4 mile of us. And the scene was equally as wide. You would be stitching until the cows come home.
