If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received.

Kala Patthar is the usual high viewpoint for Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Namche market, Tengboche monastery, and Dingboche’s wide valley are built in so you arrive at the icefall feeling ready, not rushed. You board a helicopter from the high Khumbu back to Kathmandu when the weather window opens, so the walk-in stays the focus and the flight home is the finish. Weight limits and morning holds are explained at briefing. From the air you see the trail you just walked, Ama Dablam’s sharp ridge, and the capital bowl on the way home. ✨ Why Choose Us You'll sit an arrival briefing in Kathmandu covering bag weights, the walk from Lukla through Namche and Dingboche, and the helicopter pickup from the high Khumbu back to the capital. We update the plan each day and can tailor rest if you need an extra easy hour before Gorak Shep, Everest Base Camp, or Kala Patthar. A security deposit sits with Nepal's Ministry of Tourism for guest protection, and our crews are insured while they are on duty on the trail and at the pad. Your guide times lodge checkout at Gorak Shep around the weather window so you walk the icefall first and fly home over the Khumbu when the rotors can lift. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and drop-off between Kathmandu hotel and airport Three nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days National park entry permit TIMS permit Tour permits and paperwork handled for you Airport pickup and hotel drop-off in a private vehicle Domestic flights from Kathmandu to Lukla and back Domestic airport taxes included Helicopter overflight fare on the Everest routing Teahouse or lodge accommodation on the trail Licensed guide and porters (one porter per two trekkers) ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Kathmandu hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary All Expenses in Mountain Over Than Scheduled Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? Stable trekking weather most often falls in pre-monsoon spring and post-monsoon autumn. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. If your dates sit in winter or monsoon, pack rain and cold layers and accept that flight or pass days may move by a day when safety requires it. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Helicopter sectors, domestic flights, and airport transfers apply only when they are listed on the trip; porter support follows the ratio arranged in Kathmandu. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Hotel meet in Thamel is typical; send flight numbers so pickup can meet you at the international terminal. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Rest day buffer after the trek helps if Lukla or helicopter sectors slip by a day. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### How does altitude sickness management work? The itinerary builds rest days and climb-high, sleep-low hikes where the route requires them. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### How do helicopter sectors work on this trek? Helicopter legs are scheduled around lodge checkout when transport is part of the trip. Weight limits and weather holds apply, and the crew may shift timing to the next clear window. Dress warmly for open-door loading zones and keep passport and permits in your daypack. Buffer days in Kathmandu after the trek reduce stress if the flight moves. ### What permits are required? Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu municipality permits apply in the Everest region. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Heli-Landed-at-Gorekshep-4.webp - **Gallery image count**: 9 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
