Everest base camp trekking with helicopter return is a new trending feature that provides a first-class experience with an unforgettable land and air adventure during the trek.

Everest base camp trekking with helicopter return adds a great addition to your holiday in style with an unrivaled aerial panoramic view of the Himalayas.

The first leg of the trek is hiking up to the base of Everest which takes 8 days to get there and out of which we spend two extra nights at Namche and Dingboche for the acclimatization process.

During this land adventure, you can enjoy the stunning snow-capped mountains, river valleys, alpine meadows, glaciers, and amazing landscapes.

Moreover, the trek passes through ancient Sherpa villages and high settlements where you can experience their culture, tradition, religion, and their sheer hostility.

The second leg of the trek is to fly back to Lukla which is a 20 minutes flight that offers a whole new perspective of seeing things from the air, that of the terrain you walked, rivers, and the high mountains around the region before flying back to Kathmandu on the same day.

This will add an extra majestic view to exploring the aerial view of the entire Khumbu region by helicopter, which includes the Himalayas, glacier, Khumbu ice-fall, Tengboche monastery, Namche Bazaar, and the stunning view of the Lukla airport.

The adventure journey starts off from Kathmandu taking the flight to Lukla from where we start walking. The trek then goes to Phakding and to Namche Bazaar on the following day where we take an extra night for the acclimatization process.

Then the trek continues to Tengboche and to Dingboche where again we take our last mandatory acclimatization day to get ready for higher ground. The trek then continues to Lobuche, Gorakshep, and detours to Everest base camp to finish off our trek adventure.

The following morning, we take a helicopter flight all the way to Kathmandu to end our journey.

Highly experienced and superb team

I was looking for the trip which is far from the manmade concrete forests and so-called developed city and culture. After some research found Discover Altitude a local based travel company and had short and sweet inquiries with the MD Kumar Lamsal excellent in understanding our interest and recommended us to do Everest Base Camp Trek.
We accepted but with some hesitation and worrying about high altitude we flew to Kathmandu and Kumar was there to welcome us. The very next day we had excellent city tour guided by Kumar himself and we were Enlighted with the culture history and religion of Nepal. Never to miss this, highly recommended. We flew to Lukla and started our trek with Narayan as our Guide. We had excellent experience and reached EBC with 2 extra days of acclimatization.
Throughout the trek we had the magnificent view of the Himalayas, flora and fauna, Sherpas hospitalities, religion, culture. Narayan was the fantastic trekking guide with almost two decades of experience, he has huge knowledge about the Himalayas and helped us by providing comfortable lodge and tea house. And he was more like a mother he took care of us and made sure we were physically fit with the altitude.
Thanks to Discover Altitude and the team, we will be back for the next trip very soon.
Highly recommended Discover Altitude as a travel consultant.

EBC with Discover Altitude, perfect adventure

Discover Altitude was extremely helpful from start to finish!
Friends of ours suggested using Narayan and his services and after completion of the trip we are happy to say: it was perfect!
You can tell that he has 20+ years of experience trekking up to the EBC aa he knows EVERYTHING from lodges, cafes, and the surrounding places
Being fluent in English, he would give every detail of the mountain peaks, their heights, and how and when they were first summited.
What is extraordinary was the way Narayan looked after our group and provided extra services that aren’t easy to get in those remote locations.
He went out of his way to make sure we were well cared for and it was an experience of a lifetime we will never forget.

FAQs

Q1. How difficult is Everest Base Camp Trek?

After the successful summit of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 Mt Everest became known to the world. People’s desire to step to the base camp of Mt. Everest increased rapidly and with the development of time new trekking routes were formed and Lukla airport was constructed in 1964 AD, this made the Everest Hike less time-consuming and easily accessible to mountain lovers.

So trekking into the Everest Base Came is now only 130 km in terms of distance and 11 days of the trek, of which 2 days is for acclimatization making it only 9 days of the trek. That means around 15 km per day of the hike which includes 8 hours of daily hike.

The hike to the Everest Base Camp starts from a moderate hike too strenuous but with frequent break and rest for tea/coffee etc making it a relaxing and enjoyable journey to the foothill of the giant Mt. Everest.

Q2. What is the success rate of Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is an easy hike into the Himalayas with well-maintained trails, beautiful villages, tea houses, lodges, hospitals, ATMs, banks, etc. it is normal hiking at a nominal pace. If we are physically and mentally fit for the 9 days hike then anyone can step into the base camp of Mt. Everest.

In terms of its success rate, 90 percentage of the trekkers step into the Everest Base Camp but we need to follow the same itinerary, skipping some overnight camp to further shorten our trekking distance may lead us to altitude sickness which may result in the downfall of the entire trek.

Q3. Can we trek to the Everest Base Camp individual/single?

There is no problem for any trekkers in hiking to the Everest Base Camp individual/single, as there is no restriction to trek single in the Everest region apart from some of the restricted region of Nepal like Manaslu and Upper Mustang region.

If we can manage permits for trekking to the Everest Base Camp, we can trek alone but some problems may arise while being single trekkers in the high Himalayas of Nepal.

Among them, some are like accommodation while trekking, if we are single trekkers then we may have a problem in finding room in the tea house and lodges because mainly the trekking guides and the travel agencies have direct access to the lodges and tea houses in the trekking route they booked the room before their arrival, so the lodges and tea houses give priority to the agencies and the guide for their business because they are the regular travellers.

Apart from accommodation facilities, during the snowfall the trail from Namche Bazaar is less crowded will almost no villages on the way trekkers may easily mislead them to the wrong trail because of heavy snowfall as the trail will be blocked by the snow.

This may create a problem for the individual trekkers and also if any difficulty arises while in the high altitude there are fewer possibilities of being rescue for individual trekkers.

Q4. Are there a sufficient amount of accommodation facilities in the Everest Base Camp trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is filled with lodges, tea-house, and some excellent hotels till Namche Bazaar. Now, normally we may find Wi-Fi facilities in many of the lodges/tea houses (if depends upon the weather as well).

Everest Base Camp Trek is all to the Sagarmatha Conservation Area, so there is a restriction on the number of lodges and tea house to be operated and also the tea house and lodges are with a number of limited rooms and basic facilities due to the restriction by the conservation committee but to the lower altitude till Namche Bazaar we can find a sufficient number of lodges and tea house, as we descend uphill the number of tea house and lodges diminish due to high altitude and other problem including harsh weather condition.

Q5. Is there Wi-Fi facilities in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, every year thousands of trekkers prefer to trek to the base camp of Everest, due to its popularity the mobile operating company of Nepal mainly NTC and Ncell have installed their network tower in some of the regions with 4G facilities.

Trekkers can buy the Sim card of their desire network to use the internet during the trek with some data packages, but the reliability of the internet facilities also depends upon the weather condition of the mountains. Apart from these, the lodges and tea house also provide Wi-Fi facilities which are payable for day use.

Q6. Can we charge our electronic gadgets in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Every lodge and tea house in the Everest region have a sufficient amount of electricity facilities, till Namche Bazzar they use a small community hydropower project for electricity but as we climb uphill the lodges and tea house use a solar panel for the supply of electricity, by paying some reasonable amount of money we can charge our mobile, camera and other gadgets.

But we need to may sure there will not be any charging facilities ( charging point) inside the room of the hotel, all the charging point will be at the hotel counter, so we charge our gadgets and pay the money.

Q7. How much does it cost to complete Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp trek is not as expensive as it used to be before the operation of the Lukla airport, now with the operation of the Lukla airport number of days to accomplish the Everest Trek has diminished to just 11 days trek from Lukla to Lukla which is the starting point and the ending point.

But normally we suggest travellers make their stay in Nepal for almost 14 days if their intention is only to trek to Everest Base Camp. This will make you easy for not being hurried for the international flight back home because sometimes due to poor weather condition the flight to and from Lukla to Manthali airport remain close for a day if this happens then we might be required to book a helicopter to or from Lukla which can be arranged on sharing basis with other travellers, in this case, the price may vary with the actual cost.

If we have sufficient time for the Everest Trek then it will cost you around 1500 to 1700 USD which includes all the permits required for the trek, a two-way domestic flight from Manthali to Lukla and vice versa along with the transportation from Kathmandu to Manthali airport and from Manthali airport to Kathmandu along with your guide and porter to assist all the way to the entire trek and also your accommodation and 3-time meals during the trek only and a couple of nights stay in Kathmandu hotel on BB basis ( Bed and Breakfast)

Q8. Can we drink normal water while in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Water plays a vital role in the trek, now when it comes to Everest Base Camp Trek drinking a sufficient amount of water is very important for any trekkers, it helps to cope up with dehydration and also to help fight altitude sickness. If you are using some medicine for the trek as Diamox to accomplish the trek then we need to make sure the amount to drinking water level must be increased.

Now talking about the drinking water system in the Himalayas, normally local people including guides and porter use normal water to drink from river, stream, tap water, etc but for travellers, we do not suggest to use the normal water, it may cause diarrhoea, stomach problem, etc. to protect yourself from any upcoming problem trekkers can carry water filter with them or water purifying tablets which can be found in medical stores around Kathmandu.

Apart from all this, every tea houses, lodges in the trekking region has the facility of purified drinking water for the travellers, this can be refilled into your personal water bottle but for that, you need to pay extra which varies from the region and also the altitude you are in an average it may cost you from 1 to 3 USD for a litre of purified drinking water in the Himalayas.

Q9. Is it safe to trek Everest Base Camp ?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by our valuable clients, as per your information, since the time when Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary first summit Mt. Everest in 1953, everything has changed. They were the ones who popularized Mt. Everest (8848.86M) that can be conquered. Since then lots of changes have occurred in the Everest region also known as the Khumbu region.

Now the trail is easy as compared to some decades ago, local people are helping to keep the trail maintained, the government is acting with their budget spending in these areas. Hotels, tea houses, lodges, hospitals, banks, ATM’s, police and army checkpoint has been established to make sure the safety of trekkers goes on accordingly and in time of need and natural disaster.

So, with the development of information and technology now there is access to the telephone and the internet. Thus, we can assure that Everest Base Camp is much better and safe than the 1953’s.

Q10. Is Nepal safe for women to travel?

Nepal is one of the safest countries for any travellers while being in Nepal you can experience this but need some safety as well. What we suggest in Nepal for solo female travel is that while being in Nepal doesn’t try to experience local transportation for a short distance because in short distance travel there is a limited number of public transportation and passengers more and if you have to stand because of overcrowding of passengers, you may feel you are being touched.

Maintain your full sleeve clothes this will be a sign of respect, wear proper clothes even while trekking. Make sure your clothes are not tight enough to expose or give the shape of your body parts, this may cause you trouble in some places (mainly remote areas).

In the city area normally Nepali women wear comfortable clothes as per their requirement but while being away from the city, clothes do matter a lot, in some areas even the local women may not feel comfortable with the exposing clothes travellers wear.

While trekking alone, make sure you are at your destination before it is dark because we say ‘day is yours and night is theirs’. If you follow all these instructions you will certainly feel very safe and comfortable travelling in Nepal.
