Reisroute
Everest Base Camp Heli trek is een synoniem voor deze trektocht, maar in feite is het een trektocht naar het Everest basiskamp en terug met een Helikopter. De Everest Base Camp Trek is op zich al een meest populaire trektocht onder reizigers. Op dezelfde basis is deze tocht een dankbaar reispakket voor wie graag het Everest basiskamp en de hele Khumbu streek wil verkennen door omhoog te wandelen. Maar let op: we vliegen per helikopter terug uit Gorekhshep.
Het belangrijkste is dat de mensen twee belangrijke hoogtepunten van dit reispakket kunnen meemaken: een trekking langs de meest klassieke paden naar het Everest Basiskamp en een spectaculaire helikoptervlucht van Gorekhshep naar Kathmandu. Deze reis is speciaal voor wie houdt van een enkele reis wandelen naar het Everest Basiskamp en de andere kant op een helikoptervlucht naar Kathmandu om te ontsnappen aan de wandeling helemaal terug over hetzelfde pad. Een trekking in beide richtingen naar het Everest Basiskamp duurt ongeveer 15 dagen en mensen kunnen ook tijd winnen door het in 10 dagen te volbrengen.
Deze tocht begint in Lukla na een schilderachtige vlucht uit Kathmandu. De route komt langzaam in het Sagarmatha Nationaal Park. De weelderige rododendron, eik, den en spar maken je wandeling fascinerender. We maken ook kennis met enkele soorten alpine wild tijdens de trektocht naar het Everest Basiskamp. We passeren Namche, Tengboche, Lobuche en komen in Gorekhshep.
Gorekhshep wijst uit voor een bezoek aan twee uitzichtpunten in de Everest streek: Kalapatthar en Everest Base Camp. We beklimmen eerst Kalapatthar vroeg in de ochtend vóór de zonsopgang. We wachten op de zonsopgang de sterke ijskoude wind op de top trotserend.
Maar de eerste val van de zonnestralen op de met sneeuw bedekte bergen, waaronder Mt. Everest, zal een verbazingwekkend moment zijn. We leggen de juiste momenten vast met onze camera's en lopen naar beneden naar Gorekhshep. Na het ontbijt trekken we naar het Everest Basiskamp en voltooien ons avontuur van stappen op het hoogste bergbasiskamp van de wereld. Nu trekken we terug naar Gorekhshep voor de overnachting.
We trekken niet terug naar Lukla. In plaats daarvan keren we vanuit Gorekhshep per helikopter terug. Deze vlucht boven Mt. Everest (je kunt ook lezen: Waar ligt de Mount Everest?) en andere torenhoge bergtoppen zal de ervaring voor het leven zijn. We vliegen tenslotte naar Kathmandu.
Dit reispakket biedt ons ook de gelegenheid de ongelooflijke Sherpa bevolking en hun cultuur te ervaren.
Deze reis is de perfecte keuze voor mensen die slechts 10 dagen in Nepal te besteden hebben maar toch het Everest Basiskamp en de hele streek willen verkennen. Tegenwoordig worden de Everest Base camp Trek met Helikopterretour en Heli tour naar het Everest Base Camp steeds populairder bij de reiziger. Alvorens de hoogtepunten te kennen, neem je deze artikelen door, die je zullen helpen je reis te vereenvoudigen.

Trek naar Namche
Vandaag trek je naar Sagarmatha National Park, dat op de werelderfgoedlijst staat. Ervaar dus alpiene soorten flora en fauna. Ga dan een uitdaging aan terwijl je dichter bij Namche komt, want het pad wordt steiler. Wees echter onder de indruk van de prachtige Namche-bazaar in de schoot van de Ama Dablam-berg. Eindelijk, overnachting in theehuis in Namche.
Acclimatisatie in Namche
Zoals verwacht heb je een dagpauze voor acclimatisatie. Dit is trouwens de eerste acclimatisatie in deze reis. Eigenlijk is deze dag geregeld om je vertrouwd te maken met de omgeving en om je voor te bereiden op de komende reis. Belangrijk is dat we deze korte acclimatisatie ten zeerste aanbevelen ter ondersteuning van een veilige reis.
Loop dus naar Hotel Everest View, het hotel op de hoogste hoogte van de wereld en geniet van het uitzicht op Mt. Everest en spectaculair dorp Khumjung. Ga terug naar Namche Bazzar en ontdek het.

Trek naar Dingboche
Trek via weelderige dennen, eiken, sparren en rododendron in Sagarmatha National Park. Vier onderweg een ongelooflijk uitzicht op de bergen. Dingboche is een prachtige vallei omringd door bergtoppen. Deze vallei maakt de weg vrij naar bergtoppen op het eiland. Overnachting in theehuis in Dingboche.
Acclimatisatie in Dingboche
Zoals we al zeiden, is Namche de eerste acclimatisatie die we hebben geregeld, dit is de tweede. We hebben veel hoger gewandeld, dus om gezondheid en reis in evenwicht te brengen is deze wandeling nog belangrijker. Dus wat we vandaag doen, is een trektocht naar Chukkung Valley. We hoeven onze grote tas niet mee te nemen; alleen een fles water, camera en wat geld om te lunchen.
Chukkung Valley ligt op 4700m. Deze vallei was vroeger een weiland voor jaks. Nu is het veranderd in een prachtige vallei met veel theehuizen. Als je meer wilt trekken, beklim je Chukkung ri die boven de 5500m ligt. Het uitzicht op de bergen zoals Lobuche Peak, Iasland Peak en Amadablam zullen verbluffend zijn tijdens de reis van vandaag. Ten slotte trekken we terug naar Dincgboche en overnachten in theehuis in Dingboche.
Trek naar Lobuche
De trektocht van vandaag wordt heel bijzonder omdat we gaan genieten van prachtige landschappen tussen de alpenstruiken. Je zult je helemaal verbazingwekkend voelen om het pad op te gaan in Sagarmatha National Park en enkele pittoreske Sherpa-nederzettingen. Overnachting in theehuis in Lobuche.
Trek naar het Everest Base Camp via Gorekh Shep en terug naar Gorekh Shep
Op deze dag zijn we op onze hoofdbestemming. Tegelijkertijd hopen we dat je genoten hebt van de reis naar Everest Base Camp en terugkeert via Helicopter.

Nadat we de momenten in onze camera's hebben vastgelegd, trekken we eindelijk terug naar Gorekhshep voor een overnachting. Overnachting in theehuis in Gorekhshep.
Beklim Kalapatthar vroeg in de ochtend en vlieg met de helikopter terug naar Kathmandu
Sta vroeg in de ochtend op voordat de zon opkomt, beklim Kalapatthar en wacht op de zonsopgang bovenaan. Je zult hier sterke wind ervaren. De spectaculaire zonsopgang treft het besneeuwde bergpanorama en de momenten zullen het moment voor het leven zijn. Het vangen van Lohtse, Nupse, Pumori, Makalu en Mt. Everest, de top van de wereld zal absoluut betoverend zijn.
