Trek to Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and stand at the foot of the world's highest mountain, with the Khumbu Icefall directly ahead
Watch sunrise from Kala Patthar, the Khumbu's best Everest viewpoint, before a helicopter picks you up from Gorak Shep
Skip the multi-day walk back to Lukla entirely — the helicopter does in about 20 minutes what would otherwise take 3 to 4 trekking days
Two full acclimatization days, at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, before you push toward Base Camp
Pass through Tengboche Monastery, the Khumbu's largest, with Ama Dablam rising behind it
Daily aerial views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam on the helicopter leg itself, not just from the ground
A compressed 12-day structure that fits EBC into a tighter vacation window than the standard round-trip trek
Full permit handling, including the Khumbu region's current 2026 permit structure
If you want more time in the mountains afterward, this trip connects naturally into options like the Everest Three Pass Trek or Lobuche Peak Climbing for a follow-up trip
Our itinerary follows a proven schedule designed for optimal acclimatization and success. All itineraries are flexible and may be adjusted based on weather conditions and team performance.
