If you have one whole week to enjoy in the mountains, we can recommend our 9 days Everest Base Camp Trek with a helicopter tour. You have never had a week’s holiday quite like this. It is something you will treasure and look back on in the future.

Our seven-day trek to Everest Base Camp, including a helicopter tour and helicopter ride back to Kathmandu, is not dissimilar to our 6-day trek except there is more time in the mountains and the opportunity to visit Nangkar Tshang Peak with its sacred sites and views of Mt Makalu.

Like any trek in the Khumbu (which is Sherpa speak for the Everest Region), we suggest a good level of general fitness is required. Nowhere in this region is an ‘easy’ trek, only some areas are less strenuous than others.

We provide you with a comfortable three-star hotel the night before your trip and the night you return to Kathmandu. In this way, you can be sure of a high level of comfort when you return to Kathmandu.

Highlights of the 9-Day Everest Base Camp Trek

  • Arrow Right Primary The mountains are definitely the highlight of any trek around Everest! What more can we say? Well, there is more of course…
  • Arrow Right Primary Flying into the Hillary Tenzing Airport at Lukla has to be a thrill in itself. That airport is high and challenging even for the well-experienced flight crew. You may get the opportunity to watch other planes land and take off as you wait for your luggage to be processed by your porters.
  • Arrow Right Primary The Sherpa people are another huge highlight. While many are engaged in the trekking and mountaineering business, others are still carrying out their daily lives as their ancestors, working their small farms or herding yaks.
  • Arrow Right Primary If you have an interest in Buddhism then Tengboche Monastery will be a highlight for you. If you have less interest in the spiritual side, the fabulous panorama from its courtyard will definitely add a renewed spirit to your journey.
  • Arrow Right Primary The Khumbu Ice Falls, glaciers, and glacier lakes and rivers will leave you spellbound.
  • Arrow Right Primary Also leaving you spellbound is standing on top of a black rock aptly named Kala patthar (ask your guide to explain) which is the viewpoint for Mt Everest.
  • Arrow Right Primary Sleeping in the mountains themselves has to be a thrill of a lifetime for most people. What a vista to wake up to!
