The 7-day Everest Base Camp Heli Trek is great for those with less time but still eager to explore the finest Everest region. The journey starts with the entire flight from Kathmandu, the state of Lukla, followed by a trek to the great land of Phakding and then on to Namche Bazaar, the famed Sherpa capital. Two days are also spent around Namche for much-needed acclimatization, with the visit through the Everest View Hotel at the Syangboche for stunning views of the majestic Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, and the incomparable Thamserku. Through Namche, the trek goes through the fine Tengboche, home to one of the biggest monasteries, through the beautiful Khumbu region, before going to the great Everest Base Camp, where you can see through the icy astonishing Khumbu Glacier and the tall sky peaking Everest.
The next day, an early hike through the Kalapathar (5,550 meters) gives unparalleled panoramic views of the great Mt. Everest and the close peaks. Afterwards, you will return to the great Gorakshep, where a chartered helicopter will take you back all through Lukla. From the state of Lukla, a flight back to Kathmandu ends through the trek, allowing you to experience the great wonders of Everest without the need for a long return trek. After a night's stay in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to the main excellent airport for your next journey.
