Many of our climbers say that one of the best experiences of their entire expedition is taking a helicopter flight back down the Khumbu Valley and getting an aerial view of the trek, the peaks they’ve been climbing and the mighty Himalayan range. It is, without doubt, one of the most scenic, adventurous mountain flights in the world.
Further, while people initially think they will want to undertake the 3 day, 40 mile trek back down the valley, we’ve found that after a long expedition in mountains, the draw of civilisation, getting back to family and friends & enjoying that well-deserved beer can be irresistible.
We have a number of options available for you:
One Way Helicopter from Base Camp to Lukla
$2,995 USD
A helicopter from Everest Base Camp to Lukla avoids the three day, 40 mile walk back down the valley at the completion of your Lobuche Expedition. From Lukla you will catch a regularly scheduled fixed-wing plane back to Kathmandu either that day or the following day.
One Way Helicopter from Base Camp to Kathmandu
$5,995 USD
For those that aren’t as price sensitive and who want to get back to Kathmandu and homeward bound as quickly as possible at the end of the expedition, we can arrange a helicopter for you directly from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu.
