This trek is ideal for those who want to experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Everest region while avoiding the long descent.
Why Choose Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return?
Traditional treks to Everest Base Camp (EBC) take around 12-14 days, requiring a strenuous return hike along the same route. However, with a helicopter return, you can complete the adventure in a shorter time while enjoying aerial views of the world’s highest peaks.

· Kala Patthar Sunrise: Hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m) for an unmatched sunrise view over Everest.
· Luxury Helicopter Return: Avoid the tiring descent and enjoy a scenic helicopter flight back to Kathmandu.
What to Expect on the Trek?

After soaking in the incredible views at EBC and Kala Patthar, a helicopter picks you up from Gorak Shep, flying over the Khumbu Glacier, Gokyo Lakes, and Sagarmatha National Park before landing in Kathmandu.
