Everest Base Camp Heli Trek

There are many travelers in the world who wish to get to the base camp of Mt. Everest but unfortunately  many people can’t afford more than two weeks to complete the regular Everest Base Camp trek. This 12 days Everest Base Camp short trek is designed with helicopter fly out, with safety and comfort as a top priority. Having the chartered helicopter to Kathmandu after leaving your footprint at EBC one doesn’t need to worry about returning the same way down and the Lukla flight cancellation.

We catch an exciting flight to Lukla to start the trek, and hike to Namche where we spend two nights for a proper acclimatization. We witness and explore the Thyangboche monastery before heading to Dingboche which nestles in the sunny valley facing the beautiful Amadablam peak – a great place to spend two nights to adjust the thinner air before we climb above 5000 m. The alpine landscape become more rugged as we climb above the tree line on moraines to Gorak Shep via Lobuche. The walk to EBC over the Khumbu glacier moraines can be challenging but it is a great rewarding effort for the sense of achievement! If you have longed to set eyes on the highest Himalayan panorama the view from Kalapathar will stay with you forever. We spend a night at Pheriche before we take the morning chartered helicopter flight back to Kathmandu, a scenic heli ride amidst the spectacular valleys and stunning high peaks in the Himalayas – an great experience never to be forgotten!
