About EBC Trek with Helicopter Return

The Everest Base Camp Trek with a Helicopter Return to Kathmandu from Gorakshep is one of the most popular walking trails in the Everest Trekking Region. This adventure combines the best of the Everest experience, the ultimate convenience on your Everest Base Camp trek, with our thoughtfully designed itinerary for 2025 and 2026, which includes an option for a helicopter return.

This plan is ideal for those who want to maximize their time and avoid the challenging hike back to Lukla. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the popular Everest Base Camp trail on foot and then conclude your adventure with an exciting helicopter flight from Gorakshep to Lukla to Kathmandu.

The Everest Base Camp Trek with a helicopter Return offers the perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, cultural immersion, and luxury. The trek takes you through the heart of the Khumbu region, where you'll pass through iconic Sherpa villages, visit ancient monasteries, and witness breathtaking Himalayan landscapes before reaching the legendary Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,364 meters. After achieving this incredible milestone, a helicopter ride will whisk you back from Gorakshep to Kathmandu, providing stunning aerial views of Everest and the surrounding peaks.

The Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return begins with a breathtaking 15-minute flight from Ramechhap/Manthali to Lukla during peak season, which includes March, April, May, September, October, and November. In contrast, there are 35-minute flights from Kathmandu available in January, February, June, July, August, and December.

The trek starts and ends in Kathmandu. The journey follows the bank of the Dudh Koshi River and passes through Sagarmatha National Park on the way to Namche,  Namche Bazaar, the main trading point in the Everest region and a significant acclimatization destination.

This trek is challenging, but the stunning scenery of lush forests, rolling hills, and majestic mountains will inspire you to keep moving. After a day of acclimatization in Namche Bazaar, we will depart and continue our trek to Tengboche. Upon arrival, we will visit the famous Tengboche Monastery. From there, we will proceed to Dingboche and eventually reach Lobuche. Along the hike, you will have the opportunity to see peaks such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, and many others.

Continuing our journey, we will hike to Gorak Shep and walk alongside the Khumbu Glacier until we reach Everest Base Camp. The Khumbu Glacier, known as the world's deepest glacier, can be seen from Everest Base Camp. We will then return to Gorak Shep to spend the night.

The following day, we will hike up Kala Patthar (5,545 m), where we can witness a stunning sunrise over Mt. Everest and other surrounding peaks. After enjoying the view for a while, we will return to Gorak Shep for a shared helicopter flight back to Kathmandu through Lukla.

After crossing the bridge, we walk in the open country where the tree line disappears, leaving behind sparse vegetation and juniper bushes.

We then encounter a gentle uphill trail that leads us to Pangboche village, situated at 3,900 meters – the last permanent village before reaching Dingboche and beyond. From Pangboche, we take a slow climb to Somara for lunch, then continue walking on pleasant terrain. Eventually, we face the final ascent to Dingboche village, our overnight stop, which is nestled in the Imja Tse Valley.

From Gorak Shep, we will continue our trek to Everest Base Camp. The trail ahead will be challenging due to the rugged terrain, but we’ll be rewarded with captivating views of the Khumbu Glacier and Khumbu Icefall along the way.

Once we reach Base Camp, you will be amazed by the panoramic view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Pumori, Khumbutse, and the surrounding peaks. It’s an incredible feeling to be at the base of the world’s highest mountain. During peak seasons, we may also encounter expedition teams and climbers.

Kala Patthar provides an excellent vantage point for incredible views of Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Mount Everest.

After our hike, we will descend to Gorak Shep for breakfast. Following breakfast, it's time for our helicopter flight back to Kathmandu, with a stop in Lukla. The flight typically departs between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. We will first fly from Gorak Shep to Lukla, and then from Lukla to Kathmandu. Please be prepared for some waiting time in Lukla.

The helicopter flight operates on a shared basis and is not a private charter. If you prefer a private ride, please contact us for pricing information.

Please note that at altitudes above 4,500 meters, helicopters can land but cannot take off with more than three passengers. If there are more than three people, the helicopter will first take three passengers in the initial shuttle and drop them off at a designated point below 4,500 meters, typically in the village of Pheriche.

In the second shuttle, the helicopter will transfer the remaining passengers from Gorakshep. It will stop at the designated point to pick up the first three passengers and then take everyone to Lukla. The flight from Gorakshep to Lukla lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on weather conditions and the number of passengers.

The helicopter ride from Gorakshep provides stunning views of the trail you’ve just walked and the surrounding mountains, making it a highlight of the trek. After arriving in Lukla, there will be another shared helicopter flight to Kathmandu, which takes approximately 45 minutes. Once we land at the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan Airport, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Useful Information

Is ground transportation included for Kathmandu's arrival and departure?

Your international arrival airport pickup is included in the EBC helicopter trek package: On arrival in Nepal at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, our airport representative will receive you with a warm welcome and then transfer you to your respective hotel. Afternoon or evening time we will review and discuss much information regarding your trip itinerary and included/excluded services as per the trip itinerary chosen, At the same time introduce your guide who will help you with the final preparation for your trek.

What types of accommodations are included in the trek package?

We provide 3*** stars tourist standard hotels in Kathmandu, with accommodation based on a twin-sharing basis with breakfast. If you are trekking in groups joining basis, you will share a room with someone of the same gender from your group. If you prefer a single room supplement in Kathmandu and on-route trekking, you can request the single supplement (which will be at an extra cost besides the tour price stated).

EBC Helicopter Trek: We provide accommodation in a tea house (mountain lodge). A Tea House is a combination of a guest house, restaurant, and social hang-out. The rooms are with twin beds and little additional furniture like small tables or chairs. Blankets are generally provided (we recommend that you carry your sleeping bags). Most bathrooms are common with squatting (Asian) toilets or of Western comfort with sitting toilets. Most Tea Houses/lodges have running water facilities. Most of the lodges have hot water for showers but with an extra charge for using a hot shower.

Are Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner (meals) Inclusive in Trip Price?

Yes, All meals are included. Everest Base Camp Helicopter Trek includes full board meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). We provide food from these local lodges/tea houses as per the choices on the menu. Breakfast and dinner are provided at the same teahouse/lodge, while lunch will be on the trail. Every Tea House serves the traditional Nepali meal Dal Bhat (rice and lentils), as well as a variety of different food items, such as rice, seasonable vegetables, noodles, potatoes, and soups. Some lodge serves Western foods such as pizza, pasta, and French fries. A variety of cereals, bread, and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast.

What is the possibility of drinking water?

Drinking water is very important while we are on the trek in the Nepal Himalayas. Staying hydrated is important when undertaking any physical activity but particularly so at altitude where it is generally recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters per person per day.

Along the trek, every teahouse sells boiled water for approximately Rs 150-300 per liter (the price increases the higher you trek) which should not require treating. This is also perfect for a bedtime refill as it can double up as a hot water bottle.

We strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water on the trek as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Nepal. The teahouses sell boiled water for approx. Rs150-300 per liter (the price increases the higher you trek) which should not require treating. This is also perfect for a bedtime refill as it can double up as a hot water bottle.

Alternatively, all teahouses will provide cold water free of charge, if requested. Although this should not be drunk untreated, we recommend that you bring a reusable bottle with you and use an effective form of water treatment.

There is a wide range of products available these days that are more effective than the traditional purification tablets - we recommend talking to an outdoor retailer for the latest advice as technologies are improving all the time: make sure to check the product’s performance in cold/freezing conditions and consider battery life (lithium batteries are best in cold conditions).

HIGH ALTITUDE SICKNESS

High altitude sickness often known as acute mountain sickness (AMS) in general may occur when people ascend too quickly normally at altitudes of over 3,000 m. Most people will feel some effects of altitude, shortness of breath, and possibly light-headedness, which is fairly common. Acute mountain sickness is very different and normally involves a severe headache, sickness, and loss of awareness. In almost every potential case there are enough warning signs to take appropriate action. When symptoms of altitude sickness develop, please tell your trekking guide. He will advise you to deal with your problem.

Generally, exertion and dehydration contribute to altitude sickness. So drink at least 3-4 liters of water every day besides tea and coffee which act as diuretics. For your general information please review Nepal Spirit Adventure's acute mountain sickness-AMS.

IMPORTANT NOTE

We also advise allowing a few extra days in Kathmandu at the end of your trip should your return flights from Lukla be delayed due to weather conditions. As we know the world's weather has been changing due to global warming.

Everest base camp helicopter trek

Nepal Spirit Adventure booked our Everest base camp helicopter trek using the best-customized itinerary and performed it correctly, which made them the ideal choice. Mr. Ram, who owns the company, has a wonderful personality and has extensive experience with itineraries, which is what we were searching for. He was outstanding in his customer service and took excellent care of us from the start of our holiday to the end. The trek guide and porter had a high level of skill in their work, the hotel in Gorakshep would be nicer if we could make more upgrades, but we were aware that there were no options.
