Trek to Everest Base Camp and fly to Kathmandu by Heli
Everest base camp Heli Trek combines the best of Everest in a single trip with Everest base camp trekking and a helicopter flight all the way back to Kathmandu in 12 days. Trek to the base camp of the world’s highest mountain and fly all the way back to Kathmandu in a helicopter from Gorekshep instead of walking all the way down to Lukla. We have specially tailored Everest Base Camp Helicopter trek for people having limited time. This trek also allows you to gather first-hand experience of Nepal. Follow the standard Everest base camp trek itinerary and conclude with a spectacular helicopter tour flight back to Kathmandu from Gorekshep. Which continues as a less than two weeks itinerary with enough rest days in between so that you will never have to go through high altitude sickness.
Everest Base Camp Heli Trek begins with a spectacular flight to Lukla after staying two nights in Kathmandu. From Lukla, we will walk past the dense forest of pine and rhododendrons in Sagarmatha National Parkand pass through small ethnic villages to the Sherpa Land of Namche Bazaar. We have scheduled 2 nights at Namche Bazar and 2 nights at Dingboche for acclimatization purposes. On these days, we climb high and sleep low allowing our bodies to adapt to the increasing altitude. We will follow the classic Everest Base Camp trekking route to the Base Camp via Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep. We then move further to Kalapathar for the unobstructed view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and surrounding mountains.
From Kalapathar, we will retrace to Gorakshep for breakfast and board a helicopter flight all the way back to Kathmandu the same day instead of walking all the way to Lukla to catch a plane flight back. The helicopter tour flight also allows us to witness the Himalayas from a closer view and high above the grounds. So, get the best alternative to the Everest Base Camp Trek. This package is for those who have a very limited time for exploration. Since you will be flying to Kathmandu from Gorakshep on a helicopter, you can avoid the same returning trail back to Lukla. You will be saved from the peril of frequent flight cancellations in Lukla due to unpredictable weather.
