Luxury Everest View Trek fly Back Helicopter

You arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. A Bold Himalaya representative will receive you there. They will bring you to Kathmandu 5-star hotel. You can either relax, or go out and experience Thamel night life – it’s this great slice of city with trendy cafes, climbing gear stores, and lots of local flavour. In the late evening, you’ll be met by your trekking guide at Bold Himalaya’s office. They will guide you through all that you will be doing on the Everest View Luxury Helicopter Trek, arrange all of your permits, and assist with answering any questions you might have. You will overnight in your luxury Kathmandu hotel.

We will depart early morning and fly to the airport on a flight that will be an excellent 30-minute journey to Lukla – it’s really your gateway to Everest.

Depending on where you sit on the plane, you could see the entire Himalayan range stretching out in front of you – if you want the best views, try to snag a seat on the left side of the plane! Just in case you don’t know, Lukla airport has the world’s shortest runway, so hold on to your seat for a little rollercoaster landing experience! Once we land, we’ll meet up with our porters and head out to Phakding on our trek.

The path takes us through some beautiful Sherpa villages like Cheplung and Ghat. You’ll see these incredible old prayer wheels, mani walls (they’re these Buddhist- inscribed rocks), and stupas. We’ll also walk over some pretty exciting suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River and walk through rhododendron and pine forest. Keep your camera handy – you’ll get to take some great shots of Kusum Kanguru and Mount Khumbila (the Sherpas consider this one a holy mountain). It’s not so hard a walk to Phakding, where you’ll sleep in a mountain lodge with every amenity.

We’ll eat breakfast before we start on the trail along the Dudh Koshi River. The path goes through pine forests, and we’ll cross many suspension bridges, including the famous Hillary Bridge – the longest in the Everest region. We’ll go through pretty Sherpa villages like Benkar and Monjo. At Monjo, we’ll enter Sagarmatha National Park where they’ll check our permits.

The path gets really steep from there as we make our way up to Namche. The highlight? It is here that we’ll catch our very first glimpse of Everest, pouring out behind the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge! The climb up to Namche is rather tough, but believe me, it’s all the hassle worth! The town itself is wonderful – it’s in this natural basin between the mountains. There are heaps of cafes, bakeries and shops to meander around. If you’re up to it, there’s the Sherpa Museum and Everest Museum to go see, or just have a coffee and enjoy the view of Everest from one of the cafes. We will overnight at a luxury hotel in Namche.

The hike takes us to the Everest View Hotel – the highest luxury hotel in the world! We’ll walk along Syangboche Airstrip (world’s highest too), which offers a breathtaking view of Namche below. The trail is of moderate level, passing through meadows and woods.

The hotel panorama is to be breathtaking – you can see Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse, and other peaks. The hotel is full of nice Nepali hospitality, luxury and comfort and you can get a coffee and enjoy the mountains. You also have a chance to see some wildlife – the area has Himalayan Thars, musk deer, and Danphe (Nepal’s national bird). We’ll spend the night here, and every room has a great mountain view!

This is the highlight day of the trek. You take a luxurious breakfast at Everest View Hotel while witnessing the sunrise on Everest. After that, for those who desire to see Everest up close, there is an optional helicopter ride to Everest Base Camp, Khumbu Glacier, and Kala Patthar. You can also land on Kala Patthar for about 7-10 minutes if you’d like – it’s probably the best spot to see Everest in all its glory.

For those who do not choose to take the optional heli ride over Everest, you will fly back from Everest View Hotel in a helicopter for a thrilling back to Kathmandu. The return flight gives one final chance to see the white peaks as you land in Kathmandu. After you land, you will be transferred to your hotel, where you can rest or go about sightseeing in the city. Evening cultural dinner with Bold Himalaya.

After breakfast, we drop you to the airport where you return back home by air. Also, we can arrange alternative tours if you want to stay back for a few more days. We can allow you to have Kathmandu’s culture tour, jungle stay for Chitwan, or just relax in Pokhara. Your tour can be further improvised.
