Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

My mother and I just got home from a 2-week trip to hike the Everest Base Camp track.

We were guided by Hari, who came strongly recommended via multiple reviews online and was just as fabulous in person.

From touching down in Kathmandu, the team at Himalaya Heart were waiting for us with Marigold flowers to show us some true Nepalese culture.

Our first day we were taken around Thamel, to ensure we had all the equipment required. We did bring most things as described on the packing list given to us before departure however it was handy to go around with our guide to make sure we had the final things before we departed.

From the morning we left out hotel, our guide Hari, constantly made sure we were comfortable and well informed on what was going on ahead of us. We were fortunate because they managed to organise us a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla, ensuring we had a safe and easy trip up the hill.

Each night our accommodation provided to us along the trek was fabulous, with Hari continuously ensuring we have the best options provided to us.
Upon mealtime, he would also check with the chef's at each hotel to see what produce was the freshest to ensure we were always eating quality and healthy food.

Over the course of the next 8 days, we trekked from Lukla to EBC while maintaining a solid pace and feeling very strong. The guidance provided to us from our guide Hari definitely helped us achieve our goals of reaching base camp.

If you are contemplating booking with Himilaya Heart Treks, I would strongly consider you do because my mother and I cannot recommend them strongly enough.

Thank you for making the trek one we will remember for a lifetime.

We did the Everest Base Camp trek with Himalaya Heart, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! We had the honor of the first trek with them since COVID hit, and the disruption didn’t seem to have knocked them off their stride at all.

Our guide Hari picked us up personally at the airport, and he was a consummate pro. We couldn’t have asked for better in a guide: Hari was knowledgeable, courteous, spoke great English, and was always one step ahead (literally and figuratively) in anticipating what we would need and when we would need it. More than that, he was just a great all-around guy, and by the end of the trip we could honestly say we considered him not just a guide, but also a friend.

On the logistics side, Himalaya Heart was up front with all the info we needed, and they were very responsive to our questions via email and WhatsApp. The price they quoted never changed, and they were very clear about what was and was not included in our trek package. They even facilitated our COVID tests for our return travel so we didn’t have to worry about how we would get that done. Thakur and Shital were honest brokers who obviously cared about our experience, and they went out of their way to ensure we were completely satisfied.

I highly recommend Himalaya Heart for trekking in Nepal, particularly if you are looking to support a reasonably-priced, local company. These guys handle their business like pros, and I would use them again with no hesitation.

Our Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return with Himalaya Heart Treks was truly the adventure of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, the team made everything smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. Their communication was always quick, clear, and friendly, which immediately gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company.

Our guide from Himalaya Heart Treks was exceptional—deeply knowledgeable about the mountains, culture, and trails, and genuinely caring about our comfort and safety every single day. He always checked on our health, pace, and acclimatization, and kept us motivated with his positive energy and warm personality. Because of him, we always felt safe, supported, and well taken care of, even at high altitude.

The luxury lodges arranged along the trail were far better than we expected—cozy rooms, delicious meals, warm showers where possible, and incredible hospitality. The itinerary was well-designed, giving us plenty of time to acclimatize while still enjoying beautiful villages like Namche, Tengboche, and Dingboche. Every viewpoint, every sunrise, and every step toward Everest Base Camp felt meaningful and unforgettable.

Reaching Everest Base Camp was an emotional moment for all of us, and the Himalaya Heart team made it truly special by capturing great photos, sharing stories of the mountain, and celebrating the achievement with us.

The helicopter return from Gorakshep was the perfect luxury touch—it saved us days of descending the same trail, and the stunning aerial views of the Khumbu Glacier, Ama Dablam, and Mount Everest itself were breathtaking. It felt like a dream ending to a dream trek.

Overall, Himalaya Heart Treks went above and beyond in every detail—safety, comfort, hospitality, and personal care. We felt more like family than clients. If you want a premium, safe, and unforgettable Everest experience, we can 100% recommend the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return with Himalaya Heart Treks.
