10 Days Itinerary of Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

Day 1 | Flight from Kathmandu/Manthali to Lukla (2,850m / 9,350ft). Trek to Phakding

As our adventure begins, we will have two options to reach Lukla for the start of our trek. The first option is to fly from Kathmandu, where we will take a short 40-minute flight with breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu. This is the most popular choice for trekkers, offering a direct route to Lukla, although weather conditions may sometimes cause delays. The second option is to fly from Manthali, a bit farther away, requiring a 4-5 hour drive from Kathmandu. The flight is also around 40 minutes, and while it is generally quieter and more affordable, the drive to Manthali adds to the travel time.

Upon reaching Lukla, we will begin our trekking adventure in the Everest region. From Lukla, we will start trekking towards Phakding. Along the way, we will pass through beautiful Sherpa villages and lush landscapes. From there, we will start to witness the beautiful mountain views that are distant. The trek will take us through rocky trails, suspension bridges, and charming villages. We will stop for lunch in local teahouses, where we will enjoy traditional Nepali food. After lunch, we will continue hiking toward our next destination. This marks the start of our unforgettable adventure, taking us higher into the Himalayas.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Heli Trek

Spring (March to May)

Spring is one of the best times for the Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter. The weather is clear, and the temperatures are mild, making it safe and enjoyable for trekking. The average temperature is around 5°C to 15°C at lower altitudes and -5°C to -10°C at higher altitudes. The trails are dry and in good condition, and the crowds are moderate, so you can enjoy the views without too much noise. Spring is special because flowers are blooming, and the views of the mountains are stunning. This season is highly recommended for your trek.

Summer (June to August)

Summer is the monsoon season, so it is not the best time for the Helicopter flight to Everest Base Camp. Rain is frequent, especially at lower altitudes, which can make the trails slippery and muddy. The average temperature is 10°C to 20°C at lower altitudes and -5°C to -8°C at higher altitudes. Because of the rain, the trails can be harder to walk on, and there may be fewer trekkers on the route. Summer is not recommended because the wet weather can be difficult to manage, and the risks of landslides are higher.

Autumn (September to November)

Autumn is another great time for the Everest Base Camp helicopter trek. The weather is stable, with clear skies, making it a perfect time for hiking. The temperature ranges from 5°C to 15°C at lower altitudes and -5°C to -10°C at higher altitudes. The trails are dry, making the trek easier, and the crowds are higher because many people prefer to trek in autumn. This season is special for its crisp, cool air and great visibility of the mountains. Autumn is highly recommended for its ideal trekking conditions.

Winter (December to February)

This coldest season is not the best time for the Everest Base Camp trek. The temperatures can drop as low as -10°C to -20°C at higher altitudes and 0°C to 5°C at lower altitudes. The trails can be icy, making trekking harder and more dangerous. There are fewer trekkers on the route because of the cold, and many teahouses may be closed in higher areas. Winter is not recommended unless you are prepared for extreme cold and harsh conditions. It is best to avoid this season for your trek.

Why Everest Base Camp Helicopter Flight Trek?

Faster Journey

A helicopter trek allows you to reach Everest Base Camp much quicker than the classic trekking route. Instead of spending days walking through challenging terrain, you will fly straight to the base camp, which saves you time and energy. This means you can focus more on exploring and enjoying the views rather than spending long hours hiking every day. If you have limited time but still want to experience Everest, the helicopter trek is the best option.

Less Physical Strain

Heli treks are much easier on your body compared to the physical demands of the classic trek. You won’t need to hike for hours each day or deal with steep, exhausting climbs. This makes the trek more accessible, especially if you are not used to long hikes or if you have limited fitness levels. With the helicopter, you will avoid the fatigue and soreness that come from trekking for days, letting you enjoy the adventure without the physical strain.

Breathtaking Views

Flying by helicopter provides a unique and thrilling way to see the Everest region from above. You will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the snow-covered peaks, valleys, and glaciers that are not visible from the trekking route. The aerial perspective lets you see the vastness of the Himalayas and gives you a chance to capture amazing photos. You won’t miss out on the beautiful scenery and will get to experience it in a way that is impossible while trekking on foot.

Less Crowded

The classic trekking route to Everest Base Camp can be crowded, especially during peak seasons. With the helicopter trek, you will avoid the long lines of trekkers and the busy trails, allowing for a more peaceful and intimate experience. You can spend time in quieter, more remote areas without the hustle and bustle of large groups. This allows you to enjoy the serenity of the region and have a more private experience at Everest Base Camp itself.

Acclimatization and Comfort

A helicopter trek reduces the risks associated with altitude sickness because you won’t have to trek long distances at high altitudes. While you still need some acclimatization, the helicopter ride gives you the option to ascend quickly without pushing your body to its limits. Moreover, the helicopter trek is more comfortable because you get to rest in relatively better accommodations along the way without the wear and tear of a long trek. This reduces your overall stress and discomfort, ensuring you have a safer, more enjoyable experience.

More Time for Exploration

With the time saved on hiking, you will have more time to explore the Everest region once you arrive at Base Camp. You can spend the day taking in the views, interacting with locals, or even taking part in short hikes or tours around the area. The helicopter trek saves you from stress since you will not have to hike long every day. You can truly appreciate the beauty of the Himalayas at a relaxed pace.

Accommodations & Meals During The Everest Heli Tour

In this 10 day adventure, you will stay in teahouses or lodges along the route, with conditions varying by altitude. At lower altitudes, such as in Namche Bazaar or Lukla, the teahouses offer more amenities, including hot showers, Wi-Fi, and even charging stations for your electronics. The rooms are typically dormitory-style, with shared bathrooms, and most teahouses provide beds with blankets. However, it is still a good idea to bring your own sleeping bag for extra warmth, especially in cooler seasons.

As you ascend higher toward Everest Base Camp, the accommodations become more basic. The rooms become smaller, and amenities like hot showers and Wi-Fi become scarce. In these higher areas, such as Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorak Shep, teahouses are more rustic, and comfort may be limited. Privacy is also reduced as you will likely share rooms with other trekkers. Despite these conditions, the teahouses offer a safe, cozy environment to rest and prepare for the challenging trek ahead.

Along the Everest Base Camp trek, meals are typically simple but varied to meet your energy needs. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner options include a range of Nepali and Western-style foods. You can expect staples like rice, dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), and noodle dishes. As you ascend, the variety of food may reduce, but basic meals like soups, eggs, and potatoes are available. Snacks such as energy bars, nuts, and chocolate can be purchased along the way for quick refueling during breaks.

Here’s a general breakdown of meals:

Meal Typical Options
Breakfast Porridge, pancakes, toast with butter/jam, eggs (boiled, fried, or scrambled), chapati, tea/coffee.
Lunch Dal Bhat (lentil soup with rice), noodle soup, momos (dumplings), pasta, fried rice, or sandwiches.

Trekking Route

Our trekking journey will begin with a scenic mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Once we arrive in Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region, we will take some time to rest before continuing our trek to Phakding. It will take about three to four hours to reach Phakding, where we will spend the night at a teahouse. After a good rest, we will wake up early the next morning and continue our trek to Namche Bazaar, a beautiful town that was once a key trading hub between Nepal and China.

After spending a day in Namche acclimatizing, we will continue our journey to Tengboche, known for its ancient monastery. We will explore the religious and spiritual aspects of the area before heading to Lobuche, a place that looks different from the lower regions. From Lobuche, we will trek to Dingboche, where we will acclimatize again and hike to Nagarjuna Peak. Afterward, we will continue our trek to Gorak Shep, the last settlement, before reaching Everest Base Camp.

Once we reach Everest Base Camp, we will feel a great sense of achievement and have the opportunity to explore the area and take memorable photos. After resting at Gorak Shep, we will wake up early the next day to hike to Kala Patthar, where we can enjoy an incredible view of Mount Everest and the surrounding snow-covered peaks. Finally, we will take a helicopter flight back to Lukla, skipping the return trek to make the journey easier. From Lukla, we will fly back to Kathmandu to complete our 10-day Everest Base Camp trek.

Typical Day in the Trek

Our day will start early at the teahouse, where we will enjoy the stunning sunrise over the snow-covered mountains. The sight of the sun rising behind the Himalayas will be a breathtaking experience for us. Afterward, we will have a hearty breakfast, which will typically include hot drinks like tea and coffee, boiled eggs, porridge, and toast.

By 8 AM, we will begin our trek, passing through beautiful natural landscapes. We will aim to reach our destination before nightfall, and our professional guide will help us navigate the varied terrain. Along the way, we will have plenty of opportunities to take photos and explore the surroundings.

Around 1 PM, we will stop for lunch at a teahouse and rest for about an hour. After lunch, we will continue our journey to reach our next destination in the afternoon. Once we arrive, we can relax for a while or take time to explore the local village. In the evening, we will have dinner at the teahouse and chat with other trekkers. Afterward, we can read, play games, or simply relax, and by 9 PM, we will head to bed to rest up for the next day’s trek.

Difficulties of 10 Days Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

The 10-day Everest Base Camp (EBC) helicopter trek has a moderate to high difficulty level due to the challenges of long hiking days and physically demanding terrain. You will often trek for 5-7 hours daily, navigating steep ascents, rocky paths, and uneven trails that require stamina and balance. The terrain can be particularly difficult in areas like the climb to Namche Bazaar (3,440 m) or the trail from Lobuche to Gorak Shep (5,185 m), where high altitudes amplify physical exertion. The weather is unpredictable, with sudden snow, rain, or wind making the trails slippery and delaying your helicopter ride.

Other challenges include the cold temperatures, especially at night, and fewer facilities in remote areas. You may find it difficult to stay warm and comfortable as you go higher. However, the trek is slightly easier than the classic route because the helicopter return eliminates the need for a multi-day descent. ​By flying instead of walking back, you avoid repeating the long, downhill trails that can be tough on your knees and muscles. This saves time, making it a more manageable option for those with limited time or moderate trekking experience.

FAQs For Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

Training Required

Physical Preparation

To prepare for the 10-day Everest Base Camp helicopter trek, you should focus on building your stamina and endurance. Start training by doing long walks or hikes with a backpack, gradually increasing the duration and intensity. Include stair climbing or uphill walking to simulate the steep terrain you will encounter.
Regular cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming can improve your cardiovascular fitness, while strength training for your legs, core, and upper body will help with carrying your gear. Don’t forget to practice breathing exercises to cope with the lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.

Gear and Mental Preparation

Make sure you have the right gear for the trek, including warm clothing, sturdy trekking boots, and a good-quality sleeping bag for cold nights. A lightweight, comfortable backpack is essential, and do not forget essentials like a water bottle, trekking poles, and a headlamp.
Mentally, prepare yourself for the challenges of long days of hiking and unpredictable weather. It is important to stay positive and flexible, as conditions can change quickly. Familiarize yourself with altitude sickness symptoms and ways to prevent them, as well as knowing when to rest and take it easy.

Things To Consider

Acclimatization

Acclimatization is essential to prevent altitude sickness during your trek. You must take rest days to allow your body to adjust to the higher altitudes. In places like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, you will have rest days to help you adapt. As you hike higher, your body will need time to get used to the thinner air, so avoid pushing yourself too hard. Always drink plenty of water and stay mindful of any symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches or dizziness.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is a critical part of your trip preparation. It should cover emergency evacuation, medical treatment, and cancellations. Make sure your insurance policy specifically covers high-altitude treks and helicopter evacuations. This will give you peace of mind in case of any health emergencies or weather-related delays. It is also a good idea to check the coverage for lost baggage or trip interruptions during your travel.

Baggage Limit

When you fly into Lukla, your main bag’s weight is limited to 10-15 kg. You must pack light and carry only essential items. A small daypack for your daily needs, such as snacks, a water bottle, and camera gear, is also necessary. You may have to pay extra fees if you exceed the baggage limit. Be sure to check with your airline about the baggage allowance before you travel.

Cost

The cost of the 10-day Everest Base Camp helicopter trek can vary based on your trip’s inclusions, such as guide fees, permits, accommodation, and meals. On average, it can cost between $1,500 and $3,000, excluding international flights and personal expenses. It is important to budget for unforeseen costs like extra nights in Kathmandu or Lukla due to weather delays, as well as any additional gear you may need to purchase.

Some Safety Tips For Heli EBC Trek

  • Always follow your guide’s instructions for safe trekking and helicopter procedures.
  • Keep well-hydrated and take regular breaks to avoid altitude sickness.
  • Pack and dress in layers to adjust to the changing weather conditions.
  • Monitor your health for any signs of altitude sickness and seek help if needed.
  • Carry a fully charged power bank for emergency communication and navigation.
  • Ensure your travel insurance covers high-altitude trekking and helicopter evacuation.
  • Keep your valuables secure and avoid carrying too much cash or expensive items.
  • Be prepared for flight delays due to weather conditions, and have flexible travel plans.
