Itinerary
You'll board a helicopter to Lukla here, after being shuttled to the airport from your hotel or a location of your choice.
A short helicopter refueling break at Lukla will give you time to adjust to the chilly air, marking your entry into the Himalayas.
You'll be split into two groups to adjust to the restricted passenger weight limit at higher altitudes. One group is shuttled to Everest Base Camp for a thrilling helicopter tour, and another explores the beautiful surroundings and waits for their turn.
The flight from Pheriche to EBC is a highlight in itself. You'll pass through glaciers, snow-capped massifs, and the infamous Everest Base Camp. After getting a picturesque bird's eye view of the base camp, Kala Patthar, and surrounding massifs, you'll be flown to Hotel Everest View. Kala Patthar offers the best view of Everest and surrounding peaks, a lot better than the view from the base camp itself.
Prepare to relish delicious breakfast at the highest-altitude hotel in the world. The terrace offers a sight to behold, with a spectacular view that looks like it was taken straight out of an artist's imagination.

About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's ancient, colourful capital, a valley city of temples, stupas and royal squares and the gateway to the Himalaya.
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the old royal square, is crowded with pagoda-roofed temples and palaces, and nearby lives the Kumari, the city's living child goddess. Thamel, the travellers' quarter, is a tangle of lanes selling trekking gear, prayer flags and handicrafts, busy with cafés and rooftop restaurants.
Top-ranked sights in Kathmandu: Namche Bazaar, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square (Basantapur).
