12-Day Everest Base Camp Premium Guided Heli Trek

This trek offers a wonderful combination of culture, nature and landscape into an experience of a lifetime. But the rewards of this trek must be earned as it climbs over 20,000 ft. and loses over 7,000 ft. of elevation over 75+ miles over the course of the trek, at high altitudes.

On this version of the Everest Base Camp trek, you can accelerate your descent back by taking a helicopter from Gorakshep, with an extra day in Kathmandu built into the itinerary to allow for any helicopter flight changes and cancellations due to unfavorable conditions. Further, the accommodation is upscale with 5-star hotels and premium tea houses wherever possible.
