Trip Itinerary

DAY 01: Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, Kalapaththar and then to EBC and return Kathmandu

We will start this incredible voyage to Everest Base Camp from Kathmandu in a chartered helicopter. Firstly, we fly to Lukla taking approximately one hour and stop there for fueling. Then the helicopter flies to Syangboche and stops for a while. From here, we will fly to Kalapaththar. As Kalapaththar is in very high altitude, you may have to do two shifts from Syangboche. We will land for just 10 minutes in Kalapaththar. Due to the high altitude and extremely cold climate, there is risk of shutdown of helicopter engine so we will stay for very short time here.

Then the flight takes you to the most awaited Everest Base Camp from where you can explore Mt. Everest and many other gigantic peaks closely. After spending some pleasant moments in EBC, we will return back to Kathmandu taking about one hour and the trip ends.
