The Everest Base Camp Trek return by Helicopter is a popular trek that takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. Everest Base Camp Trek usually takes about 14 to 15 days on foot, but with the added convenience of a helicopter return, you can complete the journey in 11 days.

After acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar, your journey continues to Tengboche. Tengboche is known for its beautiful Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Everest region. The trail from Tengboche to Dingboche is relatively steep but passes through beautiful rhododendron and juniper forests.

After exploring Gorakshep, the next stop on your journey will be Kalapatthar, located at an altitude of 5545m. Kalapatthar is the best and most famous viewpoint in the world and offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other famous peaks. After spending a memorable time in Kalapatthar, you will return to Kathmandu by Helicopter.

  • Unforgettable EBC Trek - Even Better Guide! Ask for Prakash!

    prash378,May 26, 2026

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    Completing the Everest Base Camp trek this May 2026 was an absolute dream come true, and booking this 11-day trek with the helicopter return was the best decision we could have made. The views were breathtaking, but what truly made this trip flawless was our incredible tour guide, Prakash. From day one, Prakash went above and beyond to ensure our group was safe, comfortable, and having a blast. He accommodated every single one of our requests—even the last-minute ones—with a huge smile and a "no problem" attitude. His logistics management, mountain expertise, and genuine care for our well-being took all the stress out of a very challenging trek. If you are planning to do EBC, do yourself a huge favor and ask for Prakash!

    Worked with Prakash Adhikari through a friend's reference who had done Annapurna and Everest Base Camp with him before. We did the luxury version of the tour for better accommodation and a helicopter return from EBC. It was quite fun, and one thing to note is that Prakash and his team were very accommodating. They would make changes right away, even with very late or almost no notice. Very happy with his service and hospitality.

  • The Most memorable Journey of my life

    This hiking trip was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Words can’t fully capture the feelings and personal growth I experienced, but I’d like to focus on the outfitter who made it all possible. If I could give them 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat! Simkhada, the owner, along with Prakash Adhikari, our lead guide, and Dorji, Yadav and Dikpal, assistant guide were absolutely incredible. All of them would greet us with smile and takes care of smallest request with smile until late night. Each one went above and beyond, almost as if they could anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. Thanks to their dedication and teamwork, I was able to achieve my dream of reaching Everest Base Camp. This company and its staff are highly trained, compassionate, and committed to ensuring every hiker reaches their goal. Beyond just guiding us, they enriched our journey with insights into local customs and each town we visited, making it a true cultural experience. Prakash carefully selected tea houses for us, ensuring comfort and authenticity at every stop. I could go on about the behind-the-scenes magic that Simkhada and Prakash worked to handle logistics and tackle challenges in our favor. Their expertise and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend this company. We’ve used them before, and there’s no question we’ll turn to them for our next expedition in Nepal.

    What an experience if a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Himalayan Adventures, and of course our lead guide Prakash! There’s no better tour company to go with, the attention to detail, the service, dedication, and commitment to safety was incredible.

    Epic once in a lifetime experience! From start to finish Bhagwat and his team made this experience seamless and memorable. Our lead guide Prakash Adhikari is very knowledgeable supportive and always had our safety his first priority. Our guides Dorji, Digpal and Yadav offered stories about the region and kept our spirits high during the challenging stretches of trail. I highly recommend this company for their professionalism, expertise and heartfelt dedication to make your trip memorable. This was our second experience with the company and I would not hesitate to book with them again for future treks in Himalayas.

  • Amazing experience

    This company stands out as one of the most professional, well-organized, and genuinely caring organizations I have had the pleasure of working with on an expedition. Having completed treks with multiple companies across different continents, I can confidently say this team’s attention to detail, commitment to safety, and genuine care for each trekker set them apart. Initial Planning and Preparation From the moment we initiated the planning process, Simkhada demonstrated an exceptional level of care and expertise. He was involved in every detail, ensuring each step was well thought out and all potential concerns were addressed proactively. The preparation phase went beyond just logistics – he anticipated our needs, from accommodations to gear, leaving no detail unchecked. His thorough approach brought a sense of security and trust to our group before we even arrived. Adaptability Amid Natural Challenges Just a week before our trek, Nepal experienced unprecedented torrential rains and severe flooding. The bridge to Ramachhap was washed away, which disrupted our original plans to catch our flight to Lukla. A quick, critical decision was essential to ensure our group of 18 could still reach Lukla on time. Simkhada and Prakash handled this challenge flawlessly, quickly pivoting to secure helicopter transportation. Their resourcefulness and calm under pressure were evident as they turned an obstacle that could have derailed our expedition into a seamless adjustment. This ability to adapt while maintaining focus on our needs was incredibly reassuring. Exceptional On-Trek Leadership and Care During the trek itself, Prakash was an outstanding leader. He managed every detail of our experience, from coordinating tea houses and meals to ensuring the safety and comfort of each trekker. His leadership went beyond logistics – he fostered a positive group atmosphere, and everyone felt well cared for. No request was too small; he addressed every need, whether it was a minor comfort or a health issue. Unfortunately, two days before the trek’s end, I developed a pulmonary infection. The urgency of the situation demanded swift action. Prakash immediately coordinated a helicopter evacuation to Kathmandu, and within two hours, I was safely back in the city receiving treatment. The professionalism and efficiency displayed by Prakash in managing my health crisis were remarkable. His actions not only helped me recover but also underscored his deep commitment to the well-being of his trekkers. Ongoing Support and Care in Kathmandu Once back in Kathmandu, Simkhada continued to go above and beyond. He visited me at the hotel multiple times each day, brought necessary medications, and ensured I was comfortable. He consistently checked in on my recovery and made sure I received the care I needed, providing a level of support that went far beyond what I would have expected from a trekking company. On our last day, he even arranged for us to visit the Pashupatinath Temple, taking care of every detail so we could enjoy a meaningful and memorable darshan. A Company Worth Recommending This was our second time trekking with this company; two years ago, they organized an Annapurna Base Camp trek for us on short notice. Once again, they showed the same high standards, professionalism, and dedication to making our journey a success. Prakash Adhikari, our guide, has exceptional management and leadership skills, and I look forward to working with him again on future treks. Having trekked in Machu Picchu, Kilimanjaro, and beyond, I can confidently say this team is unparalleled in their commitment to creating a safe, unforgettable adventure. For anyone considering a trek or tour, I wholeheartedly recommend this company. If you need further feedback, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] – I’m more than happy to share my positive experiences and discuss how this team can make your adventure as fulfilling and memorable as ours.

  • Awesome Lifetime Adventure

    930ajitn,Oct 23, 2024

    We just completed an amazing trek to Everest Base Camp. Over last 8 months, Bhagwat helped us plan our itinerary and answered our questions promptly. He had solutions for every challenge. Flooding in September almost derailed our plans but he found perfect solutions. During the trek, due to inclement weather and flight cancellation, we had to change our guide. Bhagwat arranged this switch without disturbing our schedule. Our guide, Dikpal was an amazing guy. Full of energy, with lots of stories to share. He encouraged us throughout the trek. Last two days were very challenged both in terms of cold and never ending inclines. But he helped us and guided us all the way to the end. A special mention to our porter, Madan, an energetic and eversmiling young boy without whom this trip would not have been possible. I highly recommend Himalayan Adventure, Bhagwat and his team. I hope to do more treks with him.

  • EPIC LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

    Excellent planning and execution of all aspects of the trek. Bhagwat is an amazing tour planner and operator. Our guide was Dikpal who gets 10/10 for being well informed, considerate and helpful. Our porter Madan is Superman with a constant smile and a willing helping hand at all times. We had great weather for 95% of the trek and were able to enjoy the astounding views. Glitches due to landslides and cancelled flights from Lukla were efficiently handled by helicopter rides thanks to Bhagwat and his team. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a challenge to stretch your own limits. I would highly recommend Himalayan Adventures and encourage you to request Dikpal and Madan for your team.

  • The Best Outfitter in Nepal!

    We had an incredible experience as a repeat customer hiking the EBC in October of 2024. The team at Himalayan adventure, especially the lead guide Prakash Adhikari, takes care of you like a family. Prakash and his team worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible experience through our journey. We had a large group (18 hikers) - We had to change our plans to take helicopter (both ways) due to the heavy rains in Ramachap created some logistical issues (going to Lukla) and foggy weather created some issues coming back from Lukla to KTM. Prakash and his team pulled all their leverage to ensure our return to KTM - which allow us to return home in time. While many hikers were stranded in Lukla, KTM and other places - we were able to hop on the Heli and move. During our trek - we were able to enjoy our time with each other as Himalayan Adventure team took care of all the logistics... We had great experiences staying at places selected by them - Even with this large group, everything went as planned... and they played a critical role in that. I would highly recommend any traveler/hiker going to Nepal this team. We have become a family after our 2nd trip with them... Great People!
