Everest Base Camp Trek With Helicopter Return Details

Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return from Gorak Shep to Lukla is ideal for adventurers seeking a shorter yet luxurious exploration of Everest Base Camp. This journey combines the thrill of trekking in the Himalayas with the convenience of a helicopter return tour, offering an unforgettable experience.

Venture on a scenic 35-minute flight to Lukla, the starting point for Everest Region Treks. From there, trek through Sherpa settlements, entering the Sagarmatha National Park and crossing suspension bridges to reach iconic villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Pangboche, and Lobuche. Finally, arrive at Everest Base Camp, a moment of celebration amidst breathtaking Himalayan scenery.

The adventure continues with a climb to Kala Patthar, offering unparalleled 360-degree views of the world’s highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Descend to Gorak Shep and conclude the trek with a scenic helicopter flight back to Lukla, enjoying spectacular views of the Himalayas and surrounding valleys. Further ahead, take a thrilling flight from Lukla to Kathmandu ending your adventurous Everest endeavor.

Route

After a flight eastward from Kathmandu, within 30-35 minutes, you’ll land at Lukla, home to the renowned Tenzing-Hillary Airport, nestled amidst towering hills and boasting a modest commercial town. From Lukla, your trek follows the Dudh Koshi River basin, leading northwards to Phakding before embarking on a steep ascent towards Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa settlement shaped like an amphitheater. Namche Bazaar serves as a bustling hub for last-minute essentials and entertainment options.

Continuing onwards, the trek traverses through remote Sherpa settlements, passing through Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorakshep until reaching the ultimate destination, Everest Base Camp. While the journey mirrors the classic Everest Base Camp Trek from Lukla, the return leg offers a less strenuous option with an AS350 B3 Helicopter awaiting at Gorak Shep for a thrilling aerial journey back to Lukla.

Compared to traditional treks in the Everest region, this unique trek presents an unparalleled opportunity to witness the Everest range massifs from a bird’s-eye perspective. As you ascend during takeoff, prepare to be mesmerized by the picturesque vista featuring Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Mount Ama Dablam, Mount Nuptse, Mount Khumbutse, and more, painting a breathtaking scene against the horizon.

Best Time

The best time for trekking to Everest Base Camp with Helicopter Return are during the spring and autumn seasons. While trekking remains possible in summer and winter, these seasons pose challenges due to adverse weather conditions, requiring prior trekking experience.

Spring, spanning from March to May, offers a blend of warm temperatures and captivating mountain landscapes. Similarly, autumn, from September to November, boasts pleasant weather and breathtaking mountain vistas in Nepal.

Winter, occurring from December to February, brings cold temperatures and snow-covered terrain, yet offers stunning mountain views. Despite rains in the lower regions, trekking remains viable in the upper regions during summer, from June to August, though it is less favored due to potential weather uncertainties. That being said, opting for a trip during this period allows for a quieter experience. Below given table shows the range of temperature in various months in Everest region along the year.

Difficulty

For beginners, especially those unfamiliar with Himalayan trekking, embarking on the Helicopter Return Everest Base Camp Trek can be daunting due to the rugged terrain and potential hazards along the route. Each day of the journey requires a minimum of 5 to 6 hours of hiking, navigating steep inclines and declines on challenging terrain. Physical and mental fitness is essential for this demanding trek, as it involves traversing remote, mountainous landscapes with elevations exceeding 4000m, increasing the risk of altitude sickness.

Trekkers must prepare to encounter various obstacles such as small cliffs, rocky paths, meadows, deep valleys, and boulder-strewn trails. Building abdominal strength and endurance is crucial to overcoming these challenges. The length and difficulty of the trek may prove overwhelming for novices unaccustomed to such conditions.

Cost of Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

The cost of a helicopter flight from Gorak Shep to Lukla varies depending on the season and time of year of your trek. During the peak seasons of Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November), which are considered prime times for trekking in Nepal, the cost tends to decrease. However, if you’re trekking during the off-season of Winter (December-February) or Summer (June-August), prices may be higher.

This fluctuation in cost is primarily due to the availability of helicopters at Lukla during peak seasons and the availability of multiple charter flights for the return journey. It’s important to book your flight in advance to ensure a smooth and hassle-free return journey. Please send us an inquiry and the Himalaya trip will respond back with competitive rates for your requirements.

Helicopters used in this Tour

Different airlines may use various types of helicopters for the EBC trek with Heli return tour, with the choice depending on the company. Typically, an Airbus B350 helicopter is favored for its capability to traverse high altitudes beyond 5000 meters. Alternatively, Robinson R66 and R44 helicopters may be used, but these are limited to lower elevations, with a maximum of 3800 meters.

Helicopters utilized for the Gorak Shep to Lukla route are designed to accommodate a maximum of five individuals. If you have a group of five people, it’s advisable to book your return flight through your agent in advance. Alternatively, solo travelers or couples may opt to share the helicopter with other passengers.

Due to the higher elevation at Gorak Shep, the helicopter will first transport three passengers from Gorak Shep to Pheriche, then return to Gorak Shep to pick up the remaining two passengers. Once all five passengers are assembled in Pheriche, the helicopter will depart for Lukla.

Incredible!

Hi! Im Sara, from Spain!
Good morning!
Yesterday we arrived from our 11-day trekking in Gokyo.
There were 3 people from Spain, and I don’t know how to express how happy I felt.
From the beginning, Himalaya Trip has been attentive to us, with a welcome at the hotel and explanation of the route, rental of necessary equipment, etc.
The most important thing for us has been the ease and comfort with which Ramesh (our precious guide) has taken care of us at all time.
Attentive to the food, to make sure we didn’t get cold, adapting the route day by day according to the needs of the team.

I only have words of gratitude for Ramesh, who I would recommend for any trekking in the world.
In addition to being a great guide and knowing all the mountains of Nepal perfectly, he is a great person, with a big heart.

We hope to repeat in the not too distant future and hopefully it can be with him, since he is already part of our family.
Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks!!!!

Mardi Himal: fantastic trek & wonderful guide

I had an amazing time trekking with Surpa, particularly as this was my first solo trek. Beautiful views doing the Mardi Himal trek over 4 days, Surpa was a great guide who organised everything so well for me, kept me well fed, supported a good pace the whole way and always cheerful. Would recommend, and I would happily have him as my guide again in the future. The organisation and booking with Himalaya Trip was great, really responsive on emails and Harka was so helpful in organising everything and meeting me in Kathmandu for a briefing before the trip. Thanks so much!

Once in a lifetime experience in the Himalayas

Our 4 day Mardi Himal Trek with guide Milan and porter Plekta was a wonderful experience. The manager Harka Gurung met with us over coffee in Kathmandu and briefed us about expectations as this was our first trek. After that our guide met us at our hotel in Pokhara, helped us rent equipment, and handled all logistics in between. Our first time in the Himalayas was unforgettable between all the unbelievable landscapes and scenery, and we were lucky to have MIlan and Plekta with us to experience it all. I can’t begin to describe how ethereal sunrise is over the base camp, but hopefully you’ll be able to experience it soon!
