Trip Overview

 

Overview

The 7-Day Everest Heli Tour is a comprehensive package designed for mountain lovers with limited time in Nepal but a desire to experience Everest. This best-selling tour includes a short trek to Namche Bazaar, followed by a helicopter flight to Everest Base Camp.

With this tour, we use helicopters for a swift journey to and from the base camp, allowing you to enjoy the appeal of Everest with minimal effort. The trek begins with a short and easy walk to Phakding and Namche Bazaar, which serves as the ultimate destination for Everest enthusiasts. Along this route, you will be captivated by the beauty of the mountains and the breathtaking scenery.

This refreshing and invigorating excursion to Everest Base Camp is designed for dreamers. Escaping the pressures of daily life, we embark on a comfortable journey to the base of mighty Everest. We witness the awe-inspiring mountains and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Sherpa culture and traditions. The surrounding mountains create a stunning backdrop for the enchanting valleys, thrilling bridges, prayer-flag adorned stupas, and charming villages in the Everest region. By skipping the walking part and opting for the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour, you can fully enjoy the Himalayas on this short trip to EBC.

Optional: For all the helicopter enthusiasts, you now have an option to take a luxurious and adventurous helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and back from Lukla to Kathmandu by paying extra USD 350PP 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.
