This trip allows you to enjoy the trek and at the same time, you can travel in style adding the comfort of helicopter flight.
You will fly to the Everest region on a regular flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap. The trek will go on the same trail that other trekkers take. It is the same trek as our Everest Base Camp Trek but the only difference is that you will fly back from Gorakshep instead of trekking back.
Adding a helicopter flight back not only makes your adventure more comfortable but also shorter. You will save 3 days that you need if you trek back to Lukla.
After trekking for all those 8 challenging days going higher toward the base camp, you deserve a little more comfort. When you add the helicopter flight option to your trek, it makes the adventure possible at a shorter time.

You trek like other trekkers along the trail and take rest days in Namche and Dingboche. It is necessary for everyone trekking to the Everest base camp to acclimatize at the increasing altitude of the mountains.
The special treatment about this adventure is that you are flying back on a helicopter from Gorakshep while many others trek back to Lukla. You will also do the same if you go on our regular Everest base camp trek.

The best trip with the best guide!
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.

Great Experience
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.

From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu, everything was perfectly organized. The luxury lodges along the trail provided warm rooms, comfortable beds, excellent meals, and outstanding hospitality, which made the trek much more enjoyable than I expected.
Our guide Hari was incredibly knowledgeable about the Everest region, local culture, and mountain safety. Every day offered stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and many other Himalayan peaks. Reaching Everest Base Camp was an emotional moment and a dream come true for me.The highlight was undoubtedly the helicopter return from Gorakshep. Instead of retracing our steps, we enjoyed a spectacular aerial view of the Khumbu Glacier, Everest Base Camp, and the surrounding mountains. It was absolutely breathtaking.
