Everest Base Camp Trek Return by Helicopter Tour

 

The Everest Base Camp Trek return by Helicopter is a popular trek that takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Everest Base Camp Trek (5364m) usually takes about 14 to 15 days on foot, but with the added convenience of a helicopter return, you can complete the journey in 11 days.

The journey to the Everest Base Camp begins with an awe-inspiring flight to Lukla. The first destination is Phakding. Then you pass by rustic villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche.

Namche Bazaar is also known as the gateway to Mount Everest and serves as an important touristic hub for trekkers. You will take rest and acclimatize in Namche. You can also visit the Khumjung village and Hotel Everest View on the same day.

Khumjung village offers the traditional lifestyle of the Sherpa people, whereas Hotel Everest View is the ideal place for stunning views of Mount Everest.

After acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar, your journey continues to Tengboche. Tengboche is known for its beautiful Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Everest region. The trail from Tengboche to Dingboche is relatively steep but passes through beautiful rhododendron and juniper forests.

Dingboche is an acclimatization point, and you can take a short hike to nearby viewpoints or visit the local village. The trek from Dingboche to Lobuche is an exciting journey.

You will embark on the iconic Everest Base Camp on the ninth day. From here, you will continue to Gorakshep, a small village at an altitude of 5160m. Gorakshep will give you a glimpse of the stunning mountain vistas, snow-white glaciers, and icefalls.

After exploring Gorakshep, the next stop on your journey will be Kalapatthar (5,644 m), located at an altitude of 5545m.
