Trip Overview
Mount Everest (8,848 m/29,029 ft), the tallest mountain on the planet, was an unclimbable mountain until May 29, 1953. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa were the first men to reach the summit of Everest.
Today, however, reaching Everest’s base camp is much easier thanks to the service of the Heli trek.
In this journey, we will travel to Lukla and then hike to Namche Bazaar, stopping for a night in Monjo along the way. From here, the adventure to meet Everest begins. We will go via high mountains and steep hills to Everest Base Camp, the ultimate goal of every trekker.
Then we’ll return to Kalapathar for a better glimpse of Everest before flying back to Kathmandu via helicopter. Throughout the trip, you do not need to carry your bag since we are hiring porters for you. Thus, without feeling rushed or concerned about anything, just live the journey.
