Our staff at Attractive Travels has the expertise to plan an unforgettable vacation to Nepal, Bhutan, or Tibet in the Himalayan region, home of Mt. Everest. We will be happy to fulfil your dream of the ultimate Everest Base Camp Heli Trek. We have a team of devoted, knowledgeable, skilled tour directors, tour guides, trekking leaders, and field personnel.
Q: Does this flight touch down at Mount Everest’s base camp?
It does, indeed. From the Kalapatthar vantage point, you can see Mount Everest and other adjacent peaks the best. You will undoubtedly touch down at the 5545-meter-high Kalapatthar. Everyone wants to touch down at Kalapatthar and Base Camp, but Base Camp landing depends on how quickly the wind blows. Landslides can force the EBC landing location to disappear. You won’t be able to view Mount Everest from Base Camp so that you know. The pilots approach base camp and Everest as closely as they can in case they cannot land.
Q: How high does the Everest Base Camp Heli Tour travel?
The elevation of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is 1300 meters. The aircraft takes off from Kathmandu and land at the 2,830-meter-high Lukla Airport for refuelling. Once you reach Hotel Everest View (3800 meters), you can continue to Kalapatthar and Everest Base Camp, both located at 5545 and 5364 meters, respectively. Near Mt. Everest, the chopper performs a “rounding flight,” which could involve flying above 6300 meters.
Q: Is it possible to develop Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) when taking the heli tour to Everest Base Camp?
You are unlikely to have acute mountain sickness (AMS), also called altitude sickness, during this adventure because of the strict safety procedures in place.
First, assistance will be provided if you become ill due to being at a high altitude. You will either be transported to a lower altitude location or to Kathmandu if your illness worsens. After that, more treatment will be administered if necessary.
An Attractive Tours and Travels representative will meet you at the airport and transport you there. The rest of the afternoon is free to explore and shop for hiking gear. This evening, there will be a pre-trek briefing. Spend the night in Kathmandu.
After breakfast the following morning, you will depart for a full day of sightseeing and visiting the Kathmandu Valley. You can visit the renowned Pashupatinath Temple and the historically significant Swyambhunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa, and Patan Durbar Square, all classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Following the city tour, you’ll be taken to a welcome dinner at one of the country’s characteristic restaurants. You can have a great Nepali meal while seeing a traditional dance and other performances. On the same day, you’ll meet your trekking guide.
We leave early in the morning to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, where we take a scenic flight for 35 minutes to Tenzing and Hillary Airport in Lukla (2,804 m). The guide will update you and introduce our porters when you arrive at the airport before we start our walk into Phakding (2,610 m).
Our Sherpa team will arrange and pack our trekking gear while we explore the area after landing. When we reach the Dudh Kosi River, we follow the main route to Namche Bazaar, situated just above Chaunrikharka, to begin our walk (2,713 m). Walking is simple. Phakding is reachable after passing via the little settlement of Ghat (2,550 m).
We keep walking down the Dudh Koshi’s banks, crossing it numerous times on thrilling suspension bridges covered in prayer flags. The trail climbs sharply with beautiful vistas after entering Sagamartha National Park. You can find numerous fine dining establishments, hotels, lodges, shops, money exchange services, internet cafés, and bakeries in Namche Bazaar, known as the “Gateway to Everest.” The largest town all along the Everest path is Namche.
We’ll stay at Namche Bazaar for the day to get used to the thinner air and adjust. We will make a short journey to a museum that displays the Sherpa people’s ancient traditions. We have beautiful views of the Himalayas, especially Mt. Everest, from here.
With breathtaking mountain views, the trip continues along the Dudh Kosi’s raging glacial waters. By the time we get to Tengboche, we’ve hiked to an elevation of 3,860 m.
A 20-foot-tall statue of Buddha, extraordinarily beautiful wall hangings, and the Lamas’ musical gear and robes may all be found inside the monastery. Depending on how this day’s hiking goes, the party will be escorted to witness a prayer ceremony in the morning or the evening.
The trail ascends to Pangboche through tens of thousands of mani stones after descending to Debuche from Tengboche and crossing another thrilling suspension bridge over the Imja Khola.
Our ascent continues as we go uphill to the charming, traditional Sherpa settlement of Dingboche, which offers stunning views of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, and Lhotse. We move slowly to avoid being impacted by the altitude.
Day of acclimatization in Dingboche. Following our acclimatization strategy, we will stay at Dingboche a second time tonight. Dingboche (or Pheriche) serves as the second acclimatization stop for most trekkers.
On this day, we’ll climb to the Nangkartshang Viewpoint (5,060m) for breathtaking mountain views of Ama Dablam, Makalu, the Imja Valley, and the surrounding area. After that, we’ll return to Dingboche to relax and take advantage of the remaining time before moving toward Lobuche.
The trail now follows the Khumbu Glacier’s lateral moraine and passes by stone monuments honoring climbers who have died on neighboring summits. We keep climbing as we make our way to the Lobuche town, which sits at the base of the enormous Lobuche summit. Due to the altitude, some breathing issues could develop today. We will hike in the direction of Lobuche village after passing the Sherpa Memorial in Thukla Pass.
It is a lengthy and challenging hike up the Khumbu Glacier and up to Everest Base Camp, which is located at 5,365 meters and is the closest point to Mount Everest that can be reached without mountaineering gear. Expedition teams will probably be preparing to tackle the summit in the spring. The Khumbu Icefall can be seen in all its glory from Base Camp. For the night, we go back to Gorak Shep.
To enhance our chances of viewing Mount Everest clearly, we get up earlier in the morning. You can have the most incredible views of Everest by climbing Kalapatthar, often known as “Black Rock”!
A 360-degree panorama of several of the highest mountains in the world, including Mt. Pumori (7169 m), Mt. Everest (8848.86 m), Mt. Lhotse (8516 m), Changtse in Tibet, Mt. Nuptse (7861 m), and many other smaller peaks, is available once you reach the summit. Then hike back to Gorakshep.
It is also where our journey comes to an end. The helicopter will now take you to Lukla, where you can view the Himalayas above it.
The beautiful 35-minute flight brings us back to Kathmandu while we take our final view of the Himalayas we have just recently explored. We are greeted upon arrival in Kathmandu and driven back to our accommodation. We will have a goodbye meal with cultural dance performances in the evening at a typical Nepalese restaurant.
Your final departure from Nepal will take place at Kathmandu Tribhuwan International Airport, where our airport agent will drop you off.
