Overview
The Himalayan Social Journey offers a luxurious alternative for travelers interested in a trip to Everest Base Camp called "A Luxury Trip to Everest Base Camp with Heli Flight." This option is designed for those who cannot allocate the full 16 days or prefer not to trek back along the same trail. Many Everest Base Camp trekkers express a desire for an alternative return route. Thus, this 12-day luxury trek with a helicopter ride from Pheriche to Lukla is offered as a solution. Why spend 16 days when the same trip can be completed in 12?
With this luxury trip, travelers can avoid the hassle of descending along the same trail while still enjoying the astonishing mountains, flora, and fauna of Sagarmatha National Park. The highlight of the journey is the helicopter ride, which takes you above the Everest Mountain Range, providing a breathtaking experience. Suspended in awe above the mountain peaks, you will feel a sense of divinity as your breath and blood momentarily stop. This trip is a must-do for anyone visiting Nepal.
Optional: For all the helicopter enthusiasts, you now have the option to take a luxurious and adventurous helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and back from Lukla to Kathmandu by paying an extra USD 350 PP one way. With this, you no longer have to worry about flights being delayed or canceled, which can happen every now and then due to bad weather.
Journey
Our Everest Base Camp Trek with Luxury Heli ride back to Lukla starts with a touring voyage through the chronicled and social landmarks in Kathmandu—the sanctuaries, holy places, gompas, stupas, bazaars, boulevards, and landmarks. The following day, head for an intriguing mountain trip to Hillary Airport at Lukla, likewise highlighted in the National Geographic. Further, it will be a precarious rise to Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Sherpas, where we are welcomed by terrific mountain vistas. We proceed with our trek, following the trail to an acclaimed vantage point, Kala Patthar, which offers a wonderful 360-degree display of the Himalayas. In the wake of accomplishing our objective of Everest Base Camp, we fly down from Pheriche to Lukla on a helicopter for an arrival trip to Kathmandu.
