2 Nights / 3 Days

It seems that seeing Everest is something everyone wants to do - young or old, adventurer or armchair traveller. Lots of people want to climb to the top, and many others want to walk to the famous Base Camp.
What if you don't feel like doing either of those, but you hold a dream of seeing Everest up close?
Well now you can!!! Everest For Breakfast could be just what you're looking for.
Travel from Kathmandu by helicopter, above the valleys and mid hills, to the famous airstrip at Lukla, where you stop to drop fuel before flying over the trekking trail, across the Ngozumpo Glacier and Gokyo Lakes, to the Khumbu Icefall, Everest Base Camp, Kala Pattar and as high as Camp 1 (weather and load permitting). You'll stop at Kongde for a delicious breakfast, before flying back down via Lukla (if fuel is needed) and arrive in Kathmandu in time for lunch.

We include 2 nights hotel accommodation in Kathmandu, the heli trip, all breakfasts and transfers in private vehicle. We'll even loan you a down jacket so you can stay warm! You may also choose to stay longer and explore the valley - ask us for details. This is without doubt the best "hand luggage only" trip you will ever do.
You really cannot imagine how fantastic this trip is - don't just take our word for it. Our guest said "It's like you're hovering in the middle of a huge crown - it's all pointy and sparkly and magical!" We couldn't agree more.
It's the most perfect birthday gift or corporate incentive you could possibly give. Unique, out-of-the-box and unmatchable.
