Even on the clearest of days, it is considered rare to be able to clearly witness the point where the majestic Himalayas meet the silvery skyline. But with Everest Helicopter Sightseeing Tour, you might just be able to avoid the dreaded fogs and the aloof clouds guilty of defying the hopes of countless trekkers in their adventure to witness the world's tallest mountains. Soaring above the Himalayas has never been a mundane journey but combine that with the shimmering tops of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,861m), Changtse (7,543m), Lhotse (8,414m), Ama Dablam (6,856m) describing the journey as adventurous or thrilling would be an understatement. The Everest helicopter sightseeing tour is not to be described by words or by listening to someone else give their account of the journey. It is the one to be experienced and we can't wrap our heads around why someone would not.\u00a0"}},{"id":"WxelY9vYMt","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"The journey to the world's tallest Himalayas begins from Kathmandu heading towards the thrilling Lukla airstrip. The disappearing valley soon looks like a blot on the vibrant green and the countless landmarks like tiny specks on it. We land at Lukla to refuel and enjoy the fresh Himalayan air before heading towards the Himalayas unfolding before our very eyes. The sight of trekkers disappearing like ants on the steep mountain trail brings an odd sense of joy and hovering over Everest Base Camp the feeling reaches its peak. The Himalayas galore as far and wide as eyes can see Lhotse (8,414m), Nuptse (7,861m), Changtse (7,543m), Ama Dablam (6,856m), Cho Oyu (8,188m) and of course the majestic Mt, Everest (8,848m). Next, we make a stop at Kalapatthar which is also the best viewpoint to witness the world's tallest Himalayas. Our journey ends back in Kathmandu after feasting on a heavenly Himalayan breakfast while admiring the beauty of the Himalayas.

Nepal Social Treks Review

I’ve just completed the 15 day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Social Treks and can’t praise the company, guide & porter highly enough. My guide in particular, Lhakpa was an absolute star who could not do enough to make the time away as comfortable as possible. Considerate, knowledgeable, funny, kind & inspiring. I genuinely don’t think I could have completed the trek without their support! A lifetime ambition completed thanks :)

EBC by Gokyo

If you are planning to do the EBC, the Agency should be Nepal Social Trek and the Guide should be Santa Thabir Magar. Permanent communication during trekking and excellent coordination at all times. The alternative I recommend is Gokyo. Something heavier than the classic, but definitely extraordinary. Also the views of the great mountains during the circuit, are not to forget them

Great guide

The Everest Base Camp trek was amazing. Everything was organised for us. The accommodation and food was better than we expected. Our guide Amrit was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He adjusted our trip to follow our pace. When we got sick, he was extremely helpful and caring, and made sure we got the care we needed. We can't wait to return to trek again.

Reaching Everest Base Camp was a dream of mine and this trek was really amazing!! Narayan, our guide, was truly skilled and great company; he supported us even in the most difficult moments. A heartfelt thank you to the porters, who, tireless and always smiling, made our trek possible! Well done, everyone!

We did the 12 days trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. It was an amazing experience! The trip is beautiful. Our guide Narayan helped us in every moment to reach the final destination. The porters were very kind. We recommend this experience!
