Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas with our Everest Helicopter tour. This remarkable journey offers unparalleled views of snow-capped mountains and surrounding peaks, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquility and vastness of the region. The tour includes a landing at Mt. Everest and other magnificent peaks in the Mahalangur Himalayan range, making it a truly exceptional experience.
The Everest Helicopter tour is an ideal choice for those who have limited time and prefer not to undertake the long and arduous trek in the foothills of these mountains. This package is a dream come true for anyone eager to explore and witness world-class views while enjoying a delicious breakfast amidst the breathtaking Himalayan scenery.
The journey begins with a helicopter flight from Kathmandu, covering a distance of 160 kilometers (100 miles) in just a few hours. Soaring above the clouds and beholding the mesmerizing beauty of the mighty Himalayas is the highlight of this Everest Helicopter tour. Prepare to be captivated by the splendor of the region as you embark on this unforgettable adventure.
This is a world-class trek that takes you through beautiful wooded valleys, along cold, clear mountain rivers, and into the soaring, snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. The trek culminates in a climb to the high mountain glacial region of Everest Base Camp. The trek is justifiably famous for being both challenging and rewarding, and yet remains open to most who have the stamina and determination to make it.
You start this tour in Kathmandu where you meet your trekking guide to travel by road to Salleri where your trek to Everest Base Camp begins. Starting in Salleri means you avoid the flight into Lukla and instead add 3 beautiful days of trekking through the foothills of the Himalays in areas with few other tourists. This is a lodge-based trek, which gives you the chance to spend time meeting and talking with other trekkers and guides in the evenings, as well as enjoying a little more comfort at the end of each day and ensures you contribute to the local economy.
From Salleri the trek spends the first few days climbing gradually through the Himalayan foothills, crossing several deep, wooded river valleys before following the Dudh Khosi up to Namche Bazaar, an historical Sherpa trading centre of the Khumbu Region. From here you enter into the Sagarmatha National Park area, and tremendous mountain scenery surrounds your trail as you make your way towards the high mountain glacial region of the Everest Base Camp. Several acclimatisation days are built in en-route to ensure you ascend safely.
Beyond Lobuche, snow-capped mountains close around as you follow the Khumbu Glacier up to Gorak Shep (5,288m), and ascend Kala Pattar (5,545m). The view of Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Everest, from the summit of Kala Pattar, is truly breathtaking. The following morning, you trek up to the Everest Base Camp area, from where so many expeditions have begun. From Base Camp you retrace your steps back to Lukla, along the way appreciating spectacular views of peaks from angles you may have missed on the way up.
From Lukla you catch the morning flight back to Kathmandu where you have a little free time to do some last minute shopping or a little more sightseeing around the city and surrounding valley.
All those joining our Classic Everest Trek will receive free trekking pack hire (normally costs $45), containing a down jacket and sleeping bag; suitable for the season in which you are travelling.
If you prefer a slightly shorter trek, you may consider our 15 day Everest Base Camp Trek, which starts with a flight to Lukla.
