HOTEL EVEREST VIEW HELI TREK - 6 DAYS

This trek is perhaps the most comfortable trek in the entire Everest Region. It avoids long marches, high altitudes, and basic accommodations. However, unlike a whirlwind heli tour, you do get to immerse yourself in the place and have meaningful conversations with the people.

For the first part of the trek, you will walk up the Dudhkoshi river to reach the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar. After this, you will spend two nights at the iconic Hotel Everest View. And then you will take a helicopter to Everest Base Camp. During that tour, we will get off the helicopter at the iconic viewpoint of Kala Patthar!!

As such, in a lot of ways this tour is perfect for those who wish to experience Everest in comfort with family and friends.
