Overview

Luxury Everest View Trek with Helicopter Return Overview

Experience the beauty of Mt. Everest in just four days with the Luxury Everest View Trek and Helicopter tour. Avoid the lengthy 12- to 14-day commitment of the Everest Base Camp Trek.

During your four-day adventure, you will first fly to the renowned Tenzing Hillary Airport, trek through a traditional Sherpa village, and stay at the luxurious Hotel Everest View. This hotel is the highest-altitude luxury hotel in the world, offering unobstructed views of legendary peaks such as Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, and Khumbila.

After enjoying a gourmet breakfast at the hotel with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, you will board for a scenic helicopter ride. This flight will take you toward the Mahalangur Himalayan range.

During the helicopter ride, you will fly over the iconic Everest Base Camp(EBC). If weather permits, you will land at Kala Patthar, after enjoying the close view of Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m), Khumbu Icefall, the Khumbu Glacier, nearby monasteries, and the breathtaking valley below.

A note on the helicopter landing: Per current Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) regulations, helicopters land at Kala Patthar with a maximum of two passengers on board. If you are in a group of more than two people, suitable flight arrangements will be made.

Helicopter Landing at Kala Patthar depends upon weather conditions, CAAN regulations, and local authority requirements. You will know this at the time of booking.

Best Time for Everest View Trek

The best season for trekking in the Khumbu region is during the months of spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). During this season the trekkers can comfortably trek while enjoying the best mountain scenery. The visibility is excellent during this time, and the weather remains stable most of the time. 

In spring, walking through the colorful rhododendron blossoms in forest areas is a great opportunity to see the beauty of nature. In autumn, the crystal clear and sharp view allows you to capture stunning photographs. For trek and helicopter ride these two seasons are the best time for the Everest View Trek.
