Everest Base Camp Heli Trek with Innovative Fitness

Overview

Trekking through the Himalayas is a spiritual experience. To be spiritual is to adapt to the nature to unite yourself with it. 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 feet and loses over 7,000 feet of elevation over 75+ miles over the course of the trek, at high altitudes.  

Trip highlights:  

- Trekking to the base of the world's tallest mountain.  

- Taking in sweeping views some of world's tallest peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori.  

- Getting a close look at the Khumbu Glacier, world’s highest glacier.  

- Opportunity to trek up to Kalapathar, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region  

with views of 8000 meter peaks like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu.  

- A visit to one of the oldest and biggest Buddhist monasteries, Tengboche monastery.  

- Spending a day at Namche Bazar, the Sherpa capital.  

- Experiencing the local culture and cuisine at the tea houses along your trek.  

- Coming close to local wildlife and domesticated animals like Yaks  

- Exploring Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, which is a world heritage site.  

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.  

This trip requires a minimum of 6 people to run the trip. In case the minimum numbers are not met, the entire amount will be refunded.

I am originally from the Gorkha district of Nepal. I am a government trained professional trekking guide and I have guided on most of the trekking routes and tours in Nepal. I am also a travel consultant for several well-known trekking companies. It has been an exciting journey for me. I started as a porter and worked my way up to become a highly respected guide and consultant. I now run a trekking company. Nepal is a fascinating and diverse country, where just a few miles will take you into a completely different landscape. I enjoy finding new routes so that our clients can have the best possible choice. And I enjoy travelling with them as they discover my country for themselves.
