Everest Luxury Trek with Helicopter Return - 11 Days

Yes, absolutely. We love tailoring trips to fit your schedule and interests. Just let us know what you want to add or change, and we’ll handle the details.

Not necessarily. While experience helps, we design our treks to accommodate a range of fitness levels. Our expert guides will be right there to support you every step of the way.

There are no official age limits. However, because you’ll be in the high mountains, you should be in good physical health to handle the altitude.

The highest points are Kala Patthar at 5,535m and Everest Base Camp at 5,364m. You’ll be reaching some of the most iconic spots in the Himalayas.

Yes, it is very safe. Our flight crews are highly experienced and have logged countless hours flying in the Everest region. You’re in expert hands.

It saves you significant time and energy. Instead of walking back, you can fly over the glaciers and mountains for a breathtaking, bird’s-eye view of the landscape.​

The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable. If we cannot fly, we may wait in Kathmandu, fly to a nearby location like Surke, or descend to a lower altitude where conditions are clearer. We also built a "contingency day" into our itinerary to help manage any delays.

Absolutely! About 40% of our guests join us solo. Please reach out to us so we can make the arrangements.

Yes, we would love to help you plan a private trip. Just let us know your preferred dates and who will be joining you, and we will customize the perfect itinerary for your group.​

You can book group trips directly through our website. After you book, we will send you an email with the next steps and all the necessary forms. For private trips, just contact us, and we will handle the arrangements for you.

To secure your spot, we ask for a 10% deposit when you book. You can pay the remaining 90% once you arrive in Kathmandu. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details on cancellations.

Yes, we accept all major cards. Please be aware that there is a 4% bank processing fee. If you would like to avoid this fee, you are welcome to pay via bank transfer.

It is best to book at least six months ahead, especially for spring and autumn. The luxury lodges we use have a limited number of rooms and fill up very quickly!

No, we take care of all the paperwork. We secure your permits for Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality and Sagarmatha National Park. The costs are already included in your trek package, so there are no surprise fees.

Yes, you must have travel insurance. It’s essential to be covered for medical emergencies, air evacuations, trip cancellations, or lost gear. Please note that we do not sell insurance, so be sure to purchase a policy that covers high-altitude activities and rescue above 5,000m before you travel.

Yes, you do. According to current Nepali government rules, you cannot trek solo. Every trekker must be accompanied by a licensed guide. Your guide will handle all logistics, monitor your health, manage your pace, and ensure you have all necessary permits for a safe, smooth journey.

Absolutely. Because this trek includes helicopter support, a carefully planned pace, and high-end accommodations, it is much more comfortable than a traditional trek. It is a fantastic way for trekkers of all ages to enjoy the adventure without the usual strain.

Your safety is our top priority. Your guide is trained in high-altitude first aid and will constantly monitor how you are feeling. If you cannot continue, your guide will help you decide whether to rest, descend, or arrange a helicopter evacuation. We are prepared to support you with immediate care and alternative plans.

Yes. For your peace of mind, we provide emergency oxygen on all our treks. Our guides are also fully trained in high-altitude first aid to handle any situations that arise.​

The Khumbu region is the heartland of the Sherpa people. You will be immersed in a beautiful Tibetan-influenced Buddhist culture filled with historic monasteries, colorful prayer flags, and peaceful stupas. The warmth and hospitality of the local communities are truly special, and a visit to the Tengboche Monastery is a major highlight.

While you can buy bottled water, we encourage you to help us protect the environment by reducing plastic waste. We suggest using a reusable bottle with purification tablets or a high-quality filter. You can also easily get boiled water from the lodges along the trail.​

Yes, we can usually arrange single rooms for an extra cost. We can guarantee this in Kathmandu and at our luxury lodges. However, please note that once you get above Dingboche, private rooms become very scarce, so we cannot always guarantee them during the peak trekking seasons.​

If you are traveling by yourself, we will pair you with another traveler of the same gender.​

Yes. You will have access to private bathrooms and hot showers for most of the trek, specifically up to Dingboche. This ensures a comfortable and refreshing experience for most of your journey.

We certainly can. Just send us your flight details, and we will take care of the hotel bookings for you. We highly recommend arriving a day early to settle in, adjust to the local time, and get organized before the trek begins.

We are proud of our 97% success rate. We have safely guided trekkers aged 12 to 78, proving that with the right planning and support, this incredible journey is accessible to almost everyone.

Yes, your safety is our top priority. We carry our own dedicated supply of bottled oxygen on every trek, and you won't be charged extra if we need to use the emergency oxygen.

Yes, our guides always carry a well-stocked first aid kit. They are equipped to handle common trail illnesses and minor injuries. That said, we do suggest packing a small personal kit. Please include your own prescription meds, pain relief, blister pads, and anything you specifically need for colds or mountain conditions.​

Your guide will assess your health and decide the safest path forward. If you feel unwell, they will provide expert guidance. Depending on the situation, this might mean taking a rest day, moving to a lower altitude, or arranging a helicopter evacuation if it’s a true emergency. We are always here to look after you.

We maintain a high staff-to-client ratio to ensure you receive great care. For every three trekkers, we provide one assistant guide, plus a lead guide for the whole group. We also assign one porter for every two guests to manage your gear, so you have plenty of support throughout the journey.

Don’t worry at all, you won't be left behind. We don't believe in rushing anyone. If you prefer a slower pace, one of our assistant guides will walk with you while the rest of the group moves ahead. You are free to walk at the speed that feels most comfortable for you.​

We suggest a group tip of around USD 300, or any amount you think is sufficient for the service and hard work of our guide and helpers. You can pool this together in a group, and we will help you distribute it fairly after the trek or during the farewell dinner.

Your porter will carry a duffel bag provided by us with a weight limit of 22-25 kg. You only need to carry your own daypack, which we suggest keeping between 5 and 6 kg for your own comfort.

You can leave any luggage you don’t need on the trail at your hotel in Kathmandu. It will be kept safe until you return.

You generally only need these if you are traveling in winter, when trails can be icy or snowy. For other months, you likely won't need them. If the weather changes unexpectedly, your guide can help you source micro spikes during the trek.​
