  • Everest Base Camp Trek and return back to Kathmandu by helicopter -11 Days reviewer 1
    · June 26th, 2023
    My wife and I wanted something adventurous and affordable, and boy, did we hit the jackpot with this one! First off, the team at Mountain Rock Treks was top-notch. They were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The whole journey was a visual feast for the eyes. I mean, come on, the beauty of the Everest region is mind-blowing! Majestic mountains, snow-capped peaks, and breathtaking landscapes were everywhere we looked. It was like being in a fairytale. The helicopter return was the cherry on top. We got to witness the grandeur of Everest from up above, soaring through the clouds. It was an experience like no other, and trust me, the pictures we took are envy-inducing! If you're up for an adventure that won't break the bank, I highly recommend Mountain Rock Treks for their Everest Base Camp Trek with a helicopter return. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Himalayas up close and personal.

    My adventure to Everest Base Camp was an absolute thrill! Instead of the traditional trek, I chose a unique and convenient experience by booking a helicopter tour. After exploring Kathmandu, we took off for a breathtaking journey, visiting picturesque places like Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar, and more. The helicopter ride offered stunning aerial views, allowing us to witness the majestic beauty of the Himalayas from the Everest base camp.

    Just got back from an incredible journey to Nepal's Everest Base Camp and wanted to share my thoughts. As a first-time hiker, I was determined to find an affordable tour agency that would make my money count. I opted for a mind-blowing experience, including a helicopter return with Mountain Rock Treks. It was an absolute game-changer! The trek was a banger filled with jaw-dropping views and unforgettable moments. The main highlight was the exhilarating helicopter ride back, giving me a bird's-eye view of the magnificent Himalayan landscape. Worth every penny.

    My first trip to Nepal was unforgettable. Together with a friend, we embarked on an incredible adventure - trekking to the renowned Mount Everest Base Camp. To add to the excitement, we even had the privilege of flying back by helicopter. Mountain Rock Treks and our guide, Dawa, ensured everything was flawlessly organized. Dawa, along with the porter, provided exceptional service throughout. Dawa, our guide, proved to be a friendly and knowledgeable companion. I gained valuable insights from him during our time together. Thanks to his strong ties within the local community, we encountered no issues with accommodations.

    Everest Base Camp Trek - A Solo Journey to the Top of the World! As a solo traveller, I was searching for an adventure that would challenge me both physically and mentally. The EBC trek exceeded my expectations in every way. The breathtaking views of the Himalayas, the spiritual connection with nature, and the friendly locals made this an unforgettable experience. I was amazed at how well I was able to acclimate to the altitude and the stunning landscapes kept me motivated each day. To top it off, the helicopter return was a luxurious way to end the journey and gave me a bird's eye view of the majestic mountains. I would highly recommend this trek to any solo adventurer looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

    Everest base camp trek return by helicopter The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Trek Return was the most beautiful trek and tour I've ever done. It was ideal for every hiker to walk to Everest base camp and return by helicopter to see the world's tallest mountain. It's a miracle that there are so many tall mountains right in front of me. The loss of family members in their mountains makes me quite emotional. Nepali people have a genuinely heartwarming culture of welcoming visitors, which makes me want to return to Nepal. My trekking and helicopter tour organizer, Mountain Rock Treks, provided excellent service. Everything was on time and in order. My guide, Dakpa, was extraordinarily kind and helpful, and he assisted me in reaching the Everest Base Camp while trekking. I recommend them, and I plan to return to Nepal and book my tour and trekking with Mountain Rock Treks.

    Price / Availability
    • Mountain Rock Treks And ExpeditionOperatorWritten March 2023

      The price of 2,456 is likely the base price for the trek without additional upgrades. The +3,000 is likely the cost of a private room during the trek. Most treks involve staying in shared accommodations such as guesthouses or lodges with shared rooms and bathroom facilities. The additional cost would be for a private room with an attached bathroom in most guesthouses or lodges along the way.
