Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek with Helic
The 10-Day Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek with Helicopter Return combines the classic ascent through the Khumbu heartland with five-star mountain comfort and a seamless helicopter exit. Ascending steadily along the Dudh Koshi river gorge, you will stay in high-end heated luxury lodges (such as Yeti Mountain Home and Everest Summit Lodges), acclimatizing safely through the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar (3,440 m), the spiritual sanctuary of Tengboche Monastery, and the alpine pastures of Dingboche. After touching the iconic landmark rock of Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and watching the sunrise illuminate Mount Everest from Kala Patthar (5,545 m), you board an Airbus H125 charter helicopter directly from Gorak Shep, soaring above the Khumbu Icefall, Gokyo peaks, and green foothills straight back to Kathmandu.
