EBC Heli Trek is a mesmerising package of 9 days, encompassing an awesome trekking adventure in the Everest Region. The luxurious helicopter ride from Gorakshep provides a bird’s eye view of the base camp of the World’s tallest peak.
EBC Heli Trek is designed to facilitate trekkers who cannot trek through the Everest region because of time limitations. Furthermore, the Heli Trek is less challenging and anyone can sign up for this journey. The tour combines a short hike in the Everest region and a flight to the base camp of the tallest mountain in the world.
This wonderful adventure begins as we fly to Lukla at the most surreal airport in the world. From there we trek through Phakding, surrounded by Himalayan pine and cedar trees. After Phakding, we'll trek to Namche Bazaar and spend two days acclimatising and visiting there. Afterwards, you'll take a flight to Everest Base Camp and return to Namche Bazaar. On the eighth day, you'll trek down to Lukla and take a flight to Kathmandu.
