Itinerary

This guided, ten-day trek with a helicopter flight is bound to be the ultimate experience for those who want to experience the breathtaking beauty of Nepal's mountains. Fly to Lukla on the first day of your tour and continue your journey to Mount Everest Base Camp via Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche and Lobuche. See sunrise from Gorakshep before enjoying a scenic flight back to Lukla on a helicopter.

In case the weather is clear, the chopper will first fly around Everest Base Camp before descending to Lukla from where you will catch your flight back to the capital city. Scroll down to go through the itinerary. Feel free to contact us for more information.
