Here is how I do it.
1. You have to take pictures which are overlapping. e.g. if you are taking pitcures left to right, some subjects appearing on right side of first image should appear on left side of 2nd image and so on.
2. If possible use a tripod and just rotate it sideways only. I didnt have one so I just relied on a steady hand. The less you move the camera up/down between the shots, the more height u can get out of the final image, otherwise it will keep gettting shorter. (The actual size of the final image was 9893 X 2561 pixels)
3. You can use some professional panorama tools/Photoshop. But i used the free tool Windows Live Photo Gallery.

If you want to see the individual images, i can upload them once I get back home.
