This trek is perfect for people who have little time. But also wants to experience demanding and exciting vacations in Nepal. Since this trek provides an aerial view of the Himalayas, you won't miss an Everest trip in just over a week as it saves your time.  Therefore If you are willing to do our regular Everest Base Camp Trek but you have limited time, then this would an ideal trip for you, 

Our 11 days trip begins in Kathmandu, and the next day we fly to Lukla and continue trek to Everest Base Camp.  We charter a helicopter from Gorakshep on our way back to Lukla.

The Everest region (Khumbu) is one of Nepal's most renowned tourist destinations, notable for its stunning mountain peaks and it's resident's (the Sherpas) loyalty and kindness. The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most scenic treks in the Everest region. The Cho La High Pass requires some technical expertise. But with good health and acclimatization, you'll have nothing to worry about. Trekkers find the package to be arduous and rewarding. You'll see some of the highest mountains on earth rise to the stars throughout the journey. The trek allows an Everest Base camp travel experience with a helicopter tour from Mount Everest, the base of the world's tallest mountain. It is a fun escapade but a short trek in the Everest area that allows you to hike to the Everest Base Camp and return by Heli.

During your entire trip, our hikers will be walking through Beautiful Sherpa Villages along with the Breathtaking Peaks views of over 8000m.   Once you will be reached to Lukla, you will be met by our Sherpa Porter and slowly hike to Everest base camp.  We visit and stop by numerous villages and Monasteries including Tengboche Monastery. Tengboche Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the Khumbu region which was built in the 17th century.  Gorakshep village, located at the altitude of 5100 offers you final accommodation before reaching Everest Base Camp (5360m).  To sum up, we go to Everest Base camp in the afternoon and back to Gorakshep by the evening before sunset. There you get to see the Beautiful Khumbu Glacier, One of the biggest Glaciers in the Himalayas. In the next early morning, we hike to Kalapatthar (5500m) to have Sunrise views Over Mount Everest and Mt. Lhotse. If the weather is good enough to allow it, you will see your best Sunrise Views.  The same day from Gorakshep, you will fly down by Helicopter to Lukla.  

11 Days Everest base camp trekking with Helicopter is one of Top selling trekking packages by Scenic Nepal Treks.  Your adventures begin with an approximately 28 minutes flight from Kathmandu Airport to Lukla Airport ( Tenzing Hillary Airport), one of the adventurous flights in the world.  If you are wishing to do Everest Base Camp Trek within a short period of Time, Our 11 Days EBC Trek with Heli would be an ideal trip. Many of our hikers from Scenic Nepal Treks do 14 Days Everest Camp trek which is longer and cheaper compare to Heli Trip. 

What if the Flight to Lukla / Kathmandu delayed?

It is very normal to have flights delayed between Lukla and Kathmandu. Lukla Airport, also known as Tenzing Hillary Airport is one of the extreme Airports located at the feet of the top of World, Mount Everest. Due to Wind, quick-changing weather, we often get flights delayed or canceled. It is fine if you have enough time even if the flight gets canceled or delayed, but with limited time it is very challenging to get back to Kathmandu sometimes.

So in case of flight delayed or canceled, we wait for the weather to be cleared or there is an option for you to fly by helicopter with additional cost. You will be paying for accommodation and meals by yourself if it will get the flight delayed or canceled.  We suggest you have a few more extra days in Kathmandu after your trek. 

Here's a general outline of what the Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return would look like:

  • Arrival in Kathmandu: Your journey begins with your arrival in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Take some time to explore the city and make necessary preparations for your trek.
  • Flight to Lukla: From Kathmandu, you will take a scenic flight to Lukla, which is the starting point of the trek. Lukla is known for its unique and thrilling airstrip, often referred to as one of the most dangerous airports in the world.
  • Trek to Everest Base Camp: The trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp typically takes around 10-14 days, depending on your itinerary and acclimatization needs. You will pass through picturesque Sherpa villages, dense forests, suspension bridges, and stunning mountain scenery as you make your way towards the base camp.
  • Everest Base Camp: Once you reach Everest Base Camp, you will have the opportunity to soak in the breathtaking views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. You can spend some time exploring the base camp area and taking photographs to commemorate your achievement.
  • Helicopter Return: After enjoying the experience at Everest Base Camp, instead of retracing your steps back to Lukla, you will take a helicopter flight back to either Lukla or Kathmandu, depending on your package. The helicopter ride provides a unique aerial perspective of the Himalayas and allows you to save time and energy on the return journey.
  • Departure: Once you reach Lukla or Kathmandu, you can either catch a flight back home or continue exploring Nepal, depending on your travel plans.

Additionally, altitude sickness is a concern during the Everest Base Camp trek, so it's crucial to acclimatize properly, listen to your body, and follow the guidance of experienced guides or Sherpas throughout the trek.

The best tour and trekking company you could ever find, even in a crisis or two or three

This will be a long review because you need to know how incredible Scenic Nepal Treks truly is.

I contacted Dipendra, the head of the company, months in advance to arrange a 12-day trip for a group of friends to celebrate my husband's and my 60th birthdays. All of us going was older than the average young trekkers and we wanted certain hotels and amenities that Dipendra arranged perfectly.

Every single guide and porter were fantastic. They were attentive, kind, considerate, strong and smart. Our lead Sherpa was Shankar, who is highly experienced and knows the trails in detail. He also makes a pretty amazing apple pie. His son, Unish, was one of our porters and played a huge role in our trek. Our other guide was Manju, a young graduate student fluent in English who knows all of the history and facts about the country and its sites. She led us on a number of cultural tours in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Pokhara and she is wonderful.

But here is why you should book with Scenic Nepal. Beyond what many other tour operators usually provide - good guides and porters, Nepali generosity, etc - this company went above and beyond when our friends went through various health crises.

Three of the nine folks in our group ended up getting COVID in the first couple of days of our trip. Dipendra arranged for all of their needs to be met. He rebooked hotels, arranged for travel, etc. Dipendra was available 24/7 and kept everyone calm during this stressful time.

The six of us left and then started the trek - we were doing Poon Hill - when another member of our group fell very ill. It wasn’t COVID or altitude, but it was very serious. Shankar immediately arranged to get our friend down the mountain and to the hospital in Pokhara and had his son stay with our friend. Dipendra then arranged a helicopter to MediVac him to Kathmandu and met him at the airport to take him straight to the hospital. Dipendra visited him at least once a day in the five days he was in the hospital.

And while dealing with all of our crises, Dipendra, Shankar, Manju, Unish, and the other staff had positive attitudes and smiles on their faces. They are our heroes!

I also want to note how important it is to book with a Nepali-owned company. Many westerners (often Americans) book with REI or big travel companies because they think they are safer or more reliable. They spend easily 3-4 times the amount of money, most of which never makes it to Nepal. But I want to tell you that we could not have asked for a better trekking company. They always made sure we were safe and comfortable. We literally have not a single complaint about them.

I strongly urge you to use Scenic Nepal. At the age of 60, I thought this would be my last trek. But I am already planning another one in a few years and will definitely use Scenic Nepal. They were extraordinary despite the many challenges we faced.

Most of all, we have become friends with all of them and we look forward to staying in touch over the years. We played card games at night with them and shared stories and laughs.

Thank you, Dipendra, Shankar, Manju, Unish, Ganesh, and everyone at Scenic Nepal. We miss you already.

EBC - Experience of a Lifetime

I completely and only recommend these guys. They were awesome, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Traveling during a pandemic is stressful, but they were so on top of the travel restrictions. Giving reminders. “Don’t forget this, etc.” We felt taken care of. And we ran into other trekking groups on the trail. We had the best guides!

An Amazing Trip with Amazing People

I was part of a group from New Zealand called Got To Get Out who attempted EBC and Island Peak in January 2020.
We were taken care of from the start by Dipendra and our amazing guides Shankar, Kumar, Jagat, Buddhi, and our mountain guides. This was my second time to EBC with Scenic Nepal Treks and with Shankar as a guide, he is a very positive, smiling guy who will take care of you and even make you smile and laugh when you’re feeling terrible from the altitude.

Although we didn’t make it up to the top of Island Peak because of the weather, we had an amazing time with incredible views and felt very safe in the hands of the team guiding us (one of our mountain guides, Tashi, have been up to the top of Everest 10 times!!) They taught us how to ice climb which we take with us as a very good experience for the next attempt to climb a mountain! They really went the extra mile for us to make sure we were okay at all times and gave us a hand when we got tired.

Thank you Scenic Nepal Treks for an excellent trip, see you soon again!

Cheers Josefine

They will certainly not let you down

Nepal is well known as a paradise for Hikers, a pilgrimage in a lifetime is the dream of everyone who loves hiking. Nepal is not only beautiful, it is also a place of world culture (hundreds of years old building architecture and temples) and natural heritage (Mt Everest). The trekking routes and the scenery shocking each of us during our EBC (Everest Base Camp) trek.
The scenery on the snowy mountain is really not what I can describe. Only If you experience it yourself, so you can truly understand the shock and beauty.
For every few hours trekking on the mountain, there is a village. These villages have guesthouses/teahouses that provided food and drinks. Want to have some snacks, western bread or a good cup of coffee, it is not difficult to find in some places such as Namche.
We have worry-free to get connected with the outside world as almost the teahouse provide us WiFi with a reasonable charge.

Thanks to our agent Mr. Dipendra from Scenic Nepal Treks. who is very kind to bring us to shop around & introduced the good food and good place for chill out so as to show us the way to every tourist spot in Kathmandu.
Also thank you so much to Mr. Kumar, our guide, he observed our physical condition all the way up to EBC and gave due counseling. Thanks, Kumar for his caring, especially from Lobuche to Gorekshep. When my mountain sickness occurred, my feet were unable to move. He patiently led me to Gorekshep, which is more than 5,000 meters. Not forgetting our porters too, they can easily carry a full load of 30 kilograms duffel bags following us through the journey. They also helped our guide, Mr. Kumar, to pay attention to our situation at times.

Anyone who wants to realize their Nepal trekking dream, I strongly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks, look for Mr. Dipendra, he will certainly not let you down.

Unique experience with very kind and professional guides!

we (2 girls) had the most amazing time during our trek! having both spent some time in the alps, it was our first time in Nepal and we were stunned by the beauty of the nature and atmosphere. The trek was very well organized and we felt safe and taken care of all the time, as Kumar and the other guides did everything to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dipendra, the owner, takes care of every detail - even beyond the tour itself and we were impressed by his kindness and professional attitude.

Most amazing experience

This trip had been 4 years in the making. had actually gotten to know Rajan and Dipendra through a friend's friend recommendation.

I can only say that they are so patient with me over the years (yes years!) in the multiple failed attempts that I had to get myself to Nepal.
Well, this year, it finally came true and with the trusty hands of Dipendra and my absolutely wonderful guide KK, I had the most amazing trip of my life! Dipendra made sure that anything and everything will go well, from the airport pick-ups to the hotel accommodation to the arrangements to be made during the trek. He was able and very willing to help me with my numerous changes along the way and I knew that all I needed was to ask and he will help me fulfill my requests.

And then there is KK, my super guide. Right from day 1, he gave me the assurance and the feeling that I will be very well taken care of and he definitely did. Way above my expectations. When I just mentioned to him that I think I need a porter halfway while trekking, he found me one in 30 minutes! How amazing was that! KK always made sure that he's either walking beside me or behind me to make sure that I am ok all the way, even if I was slow, he very patiently waited for me.

And then there's the trek. The most amazing country, landscapes, and people. I've run out of words to explain but this is definitely a must-do for all travelers and of all ages.

Thank you Scenic Nepal. Especially Dipendra, KK, and Rajan. You guys are amazing!

One of the Most Rewarding Experience of My Life

I recently did the 14 day Everest base camp trek in July 2018 with my friend. Everything ran super smooth from the moment we were picked up from the airport to when it was time to say our goodbyes. Our guide was Rajan who spoke English really well and understood everything we asked of him. He was compassionate and knowledgeable as well as friendly. Our Porter was KK, he was always smiling even though we were certain our bags were no light load and his English was exceptional also. Finally, Dipendra organized not only our EBC trek but also organized a 6-day motorbike tour for us after our trek at a great price.

As far as the trek was concerned all I can say is this is a MUST DO bucket list item. The food was authentic and plentiful, the scenery was beautiful and constantly changing and the accommodation was comfortable and cozy. I have found my new favorite country!

The Right Fit, SG

Good trek! Our guides were knowledgeable & helpful. Rajan knew what I needed when I felt under the weather.

Furthermore, Dipen was polite and prompt in responding to our queries. I especially appreciated him coming to Singapore to brief us about the trek & answer questions we had before we embarked on our journey to Nepal.

No One Bettter Than Scenic Nepal Trek

The trip is an experience I will never forget and recommend everyone do. Incredible views, gorgeous people, beautiful mountains and rivers. Our guide Rajan and our porter Rajan were incredible and it felt like a family in the mountains rather than a tour. I am forever thankful for the memories of sharing hot tea in the tearooms or biscuits overlooking the most unbelievable views. Even when the altitude sickness started to effect myself our guide Rajan certainly knew what he was doing and had all the appropriate equipment for the situation. The Himalaya's are no doubt beautiful and there is no way you could compare the experience of trekking on the land through monstrous giants. The people are so genuine and the trip felt so wholesome, the best experience I have ever had whilst traveling.

Yes, it is 100% possible to go trekking in winter. It is cold but not unbearable if you have the right equipment, the sleeping bags provided were amazingingly toasty. In fact walking through the snow was breathtaking and I couldn't have hoped for it any other way.

Thank you Dipendra for you patience with my endless questions, for taking care of my concerns and making me feel so welcomed in Nepal. Rajan for looking after me in the mountains and making us feel like family. Very grateful and wouldn't recommend this tour company enough. I will definitely be coming back one day!
