Comfortable Everest Trekking with Luxury Accommodation and Helicopter
The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is perfect for travelers who want to experience the Everest adventure journey without compromising comfort and services in Nepal. During the trekking, you will walk at a gentle, safe pace and with properly planned rest and hiking days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, so when you reach the destination, Everest Base Camp, you feel strong, relaxed, not just exhausted. This is something we have learned over the past years from guiding many trekkers during multiple seasons. From Kathmandu, you will take a direct helicopter flight to Lukla, the beginning of your Luxury EBC Trekking in Nepal.
From the moment you step into Kathmandu, you will be transferred to a 5 Star Category Luxury Hotel, like Hotel Marriott, before and after the trek. Every night you will stay at the best available luxury lodges while trekking in the Everest Region. You will stay at Yeti Mountain Home by Mountain Lodges of Nepal for 3 nights (1Night in Phakding and 2Nights in Namche Bazaar). The luxury lodges you will stay in have clean, cozy rooms with warm dining areas and attached bathrooms, hot showers, an electric blanket, free Wi-Fi, and charging access.
At the end of the trekking, from Gorak Shep you will fly back to Kathmandu by helicopter via Lukla, which means you do not have to trek the same way back to Lukla. The scenic flight back offers the aerial view of mountains, Sherpa villages, and glaciers, which is a truly unforgettable experience. Everest base camp luxury trek with helicopter return is a perfect walking holiday for those who have less time and want to experience the Everest journey within a short period of time.
The Honest Truth About "Luxury" Above 4,400m
Let's be honest about what "luxury" means on this trek, because it differs with altitude.
In Kathmandu, you stay at the Marriott, a 5-star hotel. In Namche Bazaar and Phakding (up to 3,440m), you stay at Yeti Mountain Home lodges with hot showers, attached bathrooms, electric blankets, and heated dining rooms. This is a genuine luxury compared to any mountain lodge in the world.
Above 4,000m in Deboche and Dingboche, you stay at semi-luxury lodges with clean, comfortable, but simpler lodges. In Lobuche and Gorak Shep, luxury lodges don't even exist. Nobody operates them because the altitude, weather, and logistics make it impossible. We stay at the best available teahouses, which means warm rooms, good food, and shared bathrooms.
What stays premium throughout the entire trek is the service: your licensed guide, your porter, the helicopter logistics, the medical kit and oximeter, the carefully paced itinerary, and the farewell dinner in Kathmandu. The lodges adjust to the mountain. Our standard of care does not.
