We will be moved to the airport for a 35-45 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.

We will stay there for the night and the day after, continue our expedition.
Note: Government of Nepal has declared that most of the flights to Lukla will start from Ramechhap until next notice to avoid over traffic crowding in Kathmandu airport. The airport in Racechhap lies 130km far from Kathmandu, and it will take around 4-hours to reach there.
On the other hand, the helicopter can be charted for five persons on a sharing basis with the addition of USD 500 per person for a one-way flight. We will try to form up the group at the airport, but it can be guaranteed. However, flying to Lukla and drive to Ramechhap is always guaranteed unless any change in the program comes due to climate change.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
We will start heading towards Namche Bazaar just after our breakfast. It is the day we become evident in the promising exquisiteness of the mountains. We pass along lovely pine forests and revealed land. Cross a steel suspension bridge up above the glacial river, Dudh Koshi. Also trek along Bhote Koshi, a sister of the Koshi family. As we embark our journey, mountains like Mt. Nupla (5885m), Kongde Ri (6093m) rise to give us a sight of themselves. Furthermore, we cross Kusum Khola and witness Mt. Kusum Kangraru to the east, head of the valley. We come across some fields of donkeys and yaks loaded with trek gears and trading goods.
If you haven’t seen the Mani stones, you’re about to be addressed to the holy mantra of Buddhist and Brahmins, “Om Mani Padme Hum” which translates to “Hail to the jewel in the lotus.” We also have a sight of Mt. Thamserku (6808m) at a turn of the trail. We cross the Monjo pass; we enter the Sagarmatha National Park, where we can look forward to rich vegetation, wildlife like red pandas, yaks, etc. Then we commence our ascent to the Sherpa capital, Namche Bazaar. The essential section of trade for the Tibetans and Sherpas living around the valley. If the weather is just beautiful and we are lucky enough, we might catch our first glimpse of the Mt. Everest. It is an adventure trek, breathtaking and rewarding as well. But this is just the beginning of what is to come. We will take rest, relax, and stay overnight in Namche Bazaar.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
This day, we will spend to acclimatise for the thinning air. However, there are plenty of things we can do in Namche Bazaar. Our guides can escort you to the museum where you can catch an idea of traditional Sherpa life. We can trek up to Syangboche and the Everest View Hotel, which is located at the highest altitude in the world. It provides with a glimpse of mountains like Everest and many others.

We can also find a panoramic view of the Namche village from up the hill from Syangboche. In the evening, we can roam around the colourful Namche Bazaar to catch a bargain. Tea or coffee in Namche Bazaar is considered the most important thing to do, so we set the morning and evening cups with us.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
As we head towards Tengboche this day, this journey is full of unobstructed scenes and scenarios consisting of the Himalayas like Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam and others.

We continue our trail along with various Sherpa Villages and take a sneak peek to their culture and lifestyle. Tengboche village is also well known for the largest monastery in the region, Tengboche Monastery. It is a spiritual hub for the people from the Khumbu region.

As the sun rays shimmer down upon the ranges, we would have started our journey. This day is vigorous in itself. The entire valley turns golden to give us a sight of the golden Himalayas.
This trek takes strength due to the thinning air and also can be misleading. But we can rely on the experienced Sherpas. As we trek along Khumbu Glacier, after about 3 hours, we reach a settlement called “Gorak Shep” which is a simple resting place with a very few dotted lodges and breathtaking mountain scenes.
Our expedition does not stop here, trekking a bit more time along the Khumbu Glacier leads us to the Everest Base Camp. Cannot get any bigger.

We had an amazing trip to Everest Base Camp Trek with an incredible helicopter ride! Our guide Mingmar was knowledgeable, helpful, & funny and helped us navigate through the local culture, a tough trail, & an amazing adventure. The trekking was tough and ended with a difficult hike up to a beautiful morning view of Everest and a scenic ride back to Lukla.
I highly recommend to Peregrine Treks to everyone who are planning to travel Nepal.
I just completed this 12 day Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter return. Peregrine Treks and Expedition organized the trip very well. Being a regular trekker, I found the trek tough at some sections but all the tiredness and stress went away by the breath-taking views of the Himalays on reaching EBC. During the entire trek, I found myself safe with the guide and porters provided by the Peregrine Treks. They were very friendly and helpful throughout the trek. On the 10th day, I flew back to Lukla via Helicopter from Gorakshep. The views of the stunning snow-capped mountains from the helicopter was just exquisit. I am very thankful to Peregrine Treks and the team for making my trip successful.
I simply had incredible trekking with Peregrine Treks. The views during the trek seem out of this world and you come away awestruck. Everything was handled with full care and our lead guide Dawa Sherpa was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. He was always checking to make sure you were doing alright and if people became sick he looked after you. I can't say enough about Dawa and his team of assistant guides and porters if you have the chance to ask him. Accommodation in the Everest Region is simple but best and foods are also hygienic. We were lucky enough to be put in with a great group of mixed ages and countries of origin and and we all became quick friends. If you have been thinking about this trip just lock it in trust me you won't be disappointed with Peregrine Treks and Tours with an experienced and trained guide.

Best Time for the trek to Everest Base Camp
The best time for Everest Base Camp Trek and fly back by helicopter is autumn (September, October, and November) and spring (March, April, and May). These two seasons the weather is sunny and warm and high possibility to see the unobstructed mountain with your fresh eyes. In high altitude, nights are clod in all season. In winter (December, January, and February) cold is the big issue for a trekker. Other parts are quite good. EBC Trek in summer (June, July, and August) or monsoon will be affected by rain; but this season trekking is best for a botanist. Everest Trekking routes are crowded in the autumn and summer; but during winter and summer, the trekking routes are not packed.
