Follow in the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay with a thrilling helicopter flight from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patar (5,545 meters), renowned as the best vantage point for viewing Mount Everest. After exploring Kathmandu's temples, shrines, bazaars, and restaurants, embark on a mountain flight back to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the soaring peaks of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. The trek involves a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Khumbu Sherpas, and continues past Buddhist monasteries as the views of Everest draw closer each day. This trek is particularly strenuous due to the frequent ups and downs and limited acclimatization days.
