Overview

Everest base Camp Heli Trek

Is loved by both domestic and international tourists in today’s context. Every trekker has a dream to reach the base of the world’s highest peak Mt Everest (8848) once in their life. Due to time restraints, many trek enthusiasts don’t get a chance to experience this trek. 

For people who want to experience the majestic beauty of Mount Everest this base camp is an excellent alternative. You can experience a short EBC Heli Trek that is 11 days. The price of this trek will be high because we need the chartered helicopter. 

First, we will fly towards Lukla to feel the breathtaking flight which is also known as the most dramatic airport in the world. Then, we slowly move forward by making our way to Namche Bazar from the trek to Phakding. To reach the center of the Everest Region i.e. Namche Bazar we have to pass through a fascinating setting as we climb along with cedar trees and the Himalayan pine. 

On this trek, you will be able to see the fantastic view of the Dudh Koshi river. Namche bazaar is also known as the capital of Sherpa in the Khumbu region where we can interact with local Sherpa people.  

To observe the awesome panorama of Everest, Tawache, Amadablam, Lhotse, etc we will start our hiking from there. The major highlight of the trek to Tengboche Monastery (3860m) is the eye-catching scene of Mt Amadablam, Mt. Everest, and its peaks.  

As we climb above the tree line on moraines to Gorak Shep via Lobuche the alpine landscape becomes more rugged. The scenery of the highest Himalayan panorama and glaciers around you that can be seen from Kalapathar will always stay with you forever.

Heli ride amidst the most scenic and spectacular valleys, and stunning high peaks in the Himalayas. This trek is mostly practiced in a group. The rate of practicing solo trek in this base camp is shallow in comparison to the group trek.

While you have your heli tour you will not be able to take your luggage with you. You can only carry your handbag with you and your luggage will be carried by potters. From the Everest base camp heli trek, you will be able to see the eye-catching view of the Khumbu valley.

The guide will provide you with various information about this trek and you will be able to see the great scenery of the mountains from the helicopter. Throughout this trek, you will not face any kind of problems and in case we will provide you the various services for your comfort.

Everest base camp heli trek is very famous and loved by many tourists. It is completed mostly in 11- 12 days. On this trek, you will be able to view many peaks of Nepal and especially Mount Everest (8848m). On this trek, you will be able to view the scenery of the mountains through a helicopter. This tour has become more exciting due to the heli tour and scenes that are seen through helicopters. You will be able to get an aerial perspective of the Everest region.
