Everest Basiskamp Luxe Heli Trek

Welcome to Nepal! Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be warmly greeted by our team and transferred to your 5-star hotel in Kathmandu. Take this day to rest and recover from your flight. Later, join a short briefing where our expert guide will introduce the itinerary, discuss trekking tips, and answer your questions. 

After a stunning morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, begin your trek with an easy walk along the Dudh Koshi River. Today’s destination is Monjo, a small Sherpa village just before the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and stay overnight in a luxury lodge with warm rooms and delicious meals, preparing for the ascent to Namche Bazaar tomorrow.

Cross the park gate at Monjo and continue trekking uphill through forests and suspension bridges, including the famous Hillary Bridge. Reach Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa town and gateway to the high Himalayas. Overnight in a premium lodge with spectacular mountain views.

To help your body adjust to the altitude, today is a rest and acclimatization day. You’ll hike to the Everest View Hotel, famous for its stunning views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The trail is moderate and allows you to enjoy the fresh mountain air while preparing your body for higher elevations. Return to Namche for a relaxing afternoon. This day is crucial for preventing altitude sickness on the trek.

Today’s trek takes you through beautiful forests of rhododendron and pine, passing suspension bridges and streams. You will reach Debuche, a peaceful Sherpa village located just below Dingboche. Enjoy your overnight stay at a comfortable lodge with warm rooms and good facilities, preparing your body for higher altitudes ahead.

Continue the trek with a moderate climb to Dingboche, a high-altitude settlement known for its spectacular views of Island Peak and Lhotse. Spend the night in a comfortable lodge with hot showers and cozy rooms.

Another rest day to help your body adjust. You can choose to hike up to Nangkartsang Peak for incredible panoramic views of Makalu, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. This moderate climb helps your lungs get used to thinner air. After returning to Dingboche, enjoy a peaceful evening in your comfortable lodge, resting well for the next day’s trek.

Today, you’ll hike through alpine meadows and pass memorials dedicated to climbers who lost their lives on Everest. The trail becomes rockier as you get closer to Lobuche, a small settlement offering comfortable accommodation in simple yet warm lodges. From here, you’ll have clear views of the Khumbu Glacier and towering peaks like Pumori and Nuptse.

This is a long but rewarding day. Trek to Gorakshep, where you’ll leave your bags at the lodge before heading to Everest Base Camp itself. Walking on the Khumbu Glacier, you’ll witness the base of the world’s highest mountain and climbers’ camps. Spend time soaking in the majestic environment, then return to Gorakshep for the night. The altitude is high, so take it slow and stay hydrated.

Wake early for the most spectacular view of the trek: a sunrise hike to Kala Patthar, the best vantage point to see Mount Everest up close. The climb is steep but rewarding, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other Himalayan giants. After descending to Gorakshep, board a private helicopter for a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. The aerial journey over the mountains is unforgettable and saves you from the long trek down. Back in Kathmandu, enjoy a luxury hotel and a well-deserved rest.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and some free time before our team transfers you to Tribhuvan International Airport based on your flight schedule. Depart with incredible memories of the Himalayas and your luxury adventure to Everest Base Camp.
