Everest Helicopter Escape

This three-day Everest helicopter journey offers the essence of the Khumbu in a compact, carefully paced escape. You begin with a short flight to Lukla, trading city noise for clear air, prayer flags, and the first close views of Himalayan ridgelines.

The next morning, a private helicopter lifts you towards Kala Patthar for sweeping views of Everest and its great neighbours, before gliding across the turquoise Gokyo Lakes and their vast glacier.

The afternoon is spent on a high ridge above Namche, with time to walk a little, sit, and watch the light soften on the peaks.

On your final morning, you stroll to Khumjung to visit the monastery and its famous yeti scalp, then board your helicopter back to Kathmandu, returning with mountain clarity rather than trekking fatigue.
