Luxury Everest Heli Trek

Trip overview

A luxurious Everest Base Camp Heli Trek is a 10-day adventure that starts with a scenic flight to Tenzing Hillary Airport of Lukla. Your journey to the perfect fusion of natural beauty and unique cultural exposure begins with a hike from the Lukla airport. This exciting journey takes you through the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, past ancient monasteries, and into the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

As you ascend through rugged terrain, you will witness the savage Khumbu glacier and breathtaking Himalayan views. The trek culminates at the Everest Base Camp and the viewpoint of Kala Patthar, offering some of the most iconic mountain views on Earth. You’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other neighboring peaks of the Everest region.

Unlike the standard EBC trek, this luxury trek allows you to rest those etched muscles by offering a Heli-ride on your way back. Besides, it is the best trip to go for if you have time constraints yet want to cover all the major highlights of Everest.

Trip note

As peak climbing seasons (March-May and October-November) often have extended air traffic, the flight to Lukla will take off from Ramechhap/Manthali airport instead of Kathmandu airport. This alternative airport is approximately a six-hour drive from Kathmandu. Meanwhile, the flight will take off from the Kathmandu Airport in other seasons.
