Description

The most popular way to trek to Everest these days is to trek to Everest Base Camp and then take a helicopter back. The trip is short; it takes only nine days. This is a good way for people who do not have much time to enjoy Everest trekking. So, the best thing to do is the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Return Trek. Everest base camp trek with helicopter return difficulty is moderate. The itinerary is 9 days long. You spend 7 full days in the mountains and return to Kathmandu in a helicopter on the last day of the trek. The trekking route gradually ascends to Kala Patthar (5,644 m/18,519 ft). Once you go above Dingboche (4,410 m/14,470 ft), the trail gets more remote and steep. The Everest base camp helicopter return trek is guided by expert mountain guides who assure the safety and success of the group.

We really benefited from AMT’s experience and service levels

Have just returned from a 14 day trek to EBC via Gokyo lakes: our 4th trip with Adventure Master Trek. Unseasonal weather presented challenges which is where AMC really came into their own…clever use of helicopters and some outstanding decisions from our guide meant that we achieved all of our goals and completely avoided the crowds. Great service and a great trip.

Everest base camp trek

This trek was completely amazing, from getting to lukla all the way to going back down and returning back to lukla after reaching Everest base camp. Raj made the whole process so much easier and efficient. He is very helpful with any of your trekking needs, questions or accommodation. My guide muskan was so helpful during the trek and provided me with a lot of useful information during are trip and helped me every step of the way which was great. I would definitely recommend booking with raj and adventure master trekking, it was the best trip i could’ve asked for and I will remember it forever!

Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return Trek 9 Days - Adventure Master Trek

My family and I recently completed the 9-day Everest Base Camp Helicopter Return Trek with Adventure Master Trek, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the very beginning, the team was incredibly professional and supportive, ensuring that every detail of our journey was perfectly planned and executed. A special shoutout to Santosh—our guide and an absolute gem of a person! His knowledge of the trails, understanding of our needs, and constant encouragement made the trek smooth and enjoyable for all of us. Whether it was answering our endless questions about the local culture and mountains or ensuring we were safe and comfortable at higher altitudes, Santosh was there every step of the way. His calm demeanor and cheerful attitude truly set the tone for our adventure.
