Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return: The Ultimate Luxury Adventure
The Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return offers the best luxury trekking experiences in Nepal. This exceptional journey is designed by including two different modes of travel: first, trekkers reach Everest Base Camp on foot and fly back home directly to Kathmandu on a helicopter.
The journey on foot begins from Lukla. Afterwards, the journey passes through scenic stops like Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche and Gorakshep. Trekking through these stops including the acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, takes around 8 to 9 days.
During this trek, trekkers make their way through picturesque villages and visit ancient monasteries. In addition, they also cross the thrilling suspension bridges while witnessing the incredible beauty of the majestic Himalayan terrain. While trekking, they get to meet the local Sherpa people, observe their culture, interact with them and experience their warm hospitality.
They get to experience all the perks of the adventure on foot during the trekking phase. After they reach Gorakshep, they can explore the Everest Base Camp. The next morning, they hike to Kala Patthar for close up views of Mount Everest and surrounding peaks, return to Gorakshep and take a helicopter back to the city which can take about 1.5 hours.
By choosing this option, trekkers can save 3 to 4 days that are usually required for the return trek. Opting for the helicopter ride is also ideal for those adventurers who wish to skip the strenuous and lengthy return journey on foot. It is a comfortable and luxurious way to return to the city after completing the exploration of the intended destination in the Everest region.
