Our beautiful 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla will kick off our EBC heli flyout trip. We offer this special Everest helicopter return trip all year round, although spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are the optimum seasons to undertake this trek. We also run the Everest base camp helicopter return trip in January and February, provided the weather holds up.
Similarly, if you schedule your trek for the busiest months of the year (March–May, October–November), the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla will be diverted to Manthali/Ramechhap, where you can take a 20-minute flight to reach Lukla.

Every journey needs nourishment, and the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return is no different. The good news is that you’ll have plenty of energy for the entire trip!
The dynamic food scene of Kathmandu will be all around you as you embark on your journey. This is your opportunity to savour a delectable taste of what’s to come in terms of cuisine. Try the spicy curries, flavorful momos (dumplings), and the traditional Dal Bhat, a filling dish made with rice, lentils, and veggies from Nepal.

We will make stops at teahouses along the way along the trip.

Here’s the key to remember, though: the food options will inevitably get less as you ascend higher. Rest assured, though—delicious and nourishing lunches will still be served by our teahouse partners to keep you feeling full.
Whatever you decide on, quality and variety are our main priorities. We want your time at Everest Base Camp to include unforgettable meals. So prepare to be enthralled by the flavour of the Himalayas and arrive hungry!
Even with the helicopter return, altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is a serious risk for hikers on the Everest Base Camp trip. We take altitude seriously when it comes to your safety. Acclimatisation is essential because the trek reaches elevations of over 17,000 feet.
We have direct experience with the significance of a slow climb. It gives your body more time to acclimatise to lower oxygen levels. Our itineraries are especially created with acclimatisation days incorporated. Your body can adjust to the lower air quality and catch up over these rest days.
We have knowledgeable guides with us at every turn. They have received training on how to identify and treat altitude sickness symptoms. It’s critical to pay attention to your body and express any discomfort you may be experiencing. Everyone must stay safe and healthy in order for them to enjoy this amazing journey.
Staying hydrated is essential! All along the walk, we’ll be reminding you to stay hydrated. Altitude sickness is largely caused by dehydration, therefore drinking enough water is crucial. In addition, we’ll advise maintaining a steady pace, abstaining from activity, and obtaining adequate sleep—all of which can dramatically lower your chance of experiencing altitude sickness.
Lastly, there is an additional degree of security offered by the helicopter return. In the worst event, we can utilise the helicopter to quickly descend to lower elevations where symptoms are less severe if someone gets severe altitude sickness. But it’s crucial to keep in mind that using the helicopter is a last resort. Our goal is prevention through thoughtful itinerary planning and appropriate trekking techniques. You can then successfully reach Everest Base Camp and enjoy yourself the whole time!
