Countless trekkers flock to the Everest base camp each year to see the once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan scenery. To have this ultimate look of these grand mountains, many people reach here either by trekking or flying. If we have to talk about these options, both have different kinds of experiences. You can get a majestic view of the mountains by flying directly to the Everest base camp. However, if you only choose this option, you'll miss one of traveling's most essential features: adventure. Meanwhile, going with the trekking option will encourage adventure but you would be sacrificing comfort. So, we think that combining these two features into one would make a perfect Everest base camp helicopter trek journey.
Trekking is generally a challenging way to complete a long journey. However, most people choose this way to fulfill their adventurous souls. But, some people want to do this activity in comfort. So, this is a journey that should not be missed by individuals who want to fully explore the historic pathways and heritages while also enjoying the convenience of a helicopter ride back to Everest base camp. We highly recommend this trek for those who have very limited time for Exploration but want to experience a lot in the Khumbu region. Similarly, the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek is ideal for trekkers looking for longer, more remote journeys filled with raw natural beauty.
The trekking course initially follows the same route as any other Everest base camp trek since it is a half-heli tour and a half-trail trekking trip. The trail will start from the Lukla and then finally reach Namche and hike up to the heli pickup point to Syangboche. While following this trail, you'll get to relish spectacular views of the peaks as well as the Sherpa people's rich cultural traditions.
Finally, after days of trekking along the trail, you will reach Syangboche. On the next day after having a delightful Breakfast at the Everest View Hotel, you will head on to the Kalapatthar. Here at the ultimate destination, you will take in the jaw-dropping vistas of Gorakshep, the Khumbu Glacier, the Khumbu Icefall, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, and the mighty Mount Everest. Once you've had a chance to take it all in, you'll then eventually make your way back to Kathmandu in a helicopter bidding farewell to Khumbu.
Hello and Namaste! Welcome to the land of the Himalayas. Today is the starting day of your adventurous Everest base camp helicopter trek. Your amazing adventure starts as you make a classy entry at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. After you land and leave the terminal, a representative from our company will formally welcome you and direct you to our private vehicle, which will, later on, take you to the hotel. It will take only several minutes to reach the hotel. At the hotel, you will take some time to rest and get freshened up. After you are all ready, we will hold a short meeting in our office regarding the trip details.
Here, our guide will explain everything to you about the trip. If you have any kind of questions you can instantly ask him. At this meeting, you will also have a chance to meet the guide. Following the conclusion of the short briefing, you will shortly begin to prepare for the trip by compiling a clothing and packing list. Since your sightseeing excursion is tomorrow, it is more convenient for you to set things up now.
Around the Evening time after all things are completed, we will go to a Nepali restaurant for a welcome dinner with cultural dance and music performances. After completing the program, we will drive you back to your hotel. Spend the night at a five-star hotel in Kathmandu.
