Itinerary

Day 1
Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour
You'll start early with a helicopter pickup from your Kathmandu hotel, heading straight to Lukla Airport. The flight itself gives you views of settlements and green hills rolling beneath you. After refueling in Lukla, the helicopter climbs higher into the Himalayas and you get to see Mount Everest, Amadablam, and the surrounding peaks from the air. Then you'll land at Kalapatthar (5,545m/18,192ft) where you can take photos with Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other mountains all around you. After breakfast at Everest Base Camp, the flight takes you back to Kathmandu, routing through either Pheriche or Lukla depending on conditions.

The trip was amazing from beginning to end, our journey was made all the better with our fantastic lead guide Dhurba with his positive and fun vibe. We always felt safe and looked after with him on our heels, thanks to him for taking us there and back again. With that said our porter Dhan is a champ carrying our bags with relative ease and always a smile, he is truly a mountain man.

I think it is possibly the best way to get to mount Everest. I completed this trip within a day and saved a lot of time and was able to get to Everest BAse Camp. During the trip Nawin provided me perfect guidance. Trek Nepal managed all the things neatly and I loved the experience and service.
