Experience the thrill of trekking to the foothills of Mount Everest (8,848m) and then flying back to Kathmandu on a helicopter. This 11-day adventure is perfect for those with limited time who still want to explore Everest Base Camp and enjoy an aerial tour of the region.
The journey begins in Kathmandu, where you’ll prepare before taking a flight northeast to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. Trekking starts in Lukla and takes you through the Dudh Koshi Valley, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Sagarmatha National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass through Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep.
At Everest Base Camp, located near the Khumbu Glacier, you’ll have the chance to see where climbers start their journey to the summit. For the best views of Mount Everest, you’ll hike up to Kalapatthar (5,545m). Then, the helicopter ride back to Kathmandu offers breathtaking views of the entire Everest region, including the national park, valleys, glaciers, and towering Himalayan peaks.
