We had a very short time in Nepal and wanted to see the Everest base camp. We didn’t want to go. So we took the Everest base camp heli trek. So, Puru suggested we trek to Namche, Everest View Hotel, and from there, we took a helicopter to Base camp.

 

We landed there and did a Kala Patthar top-up. It was a great experience. We recommend this trek for people who have a short time. If you want to enjoy the tour in the Everest region, you can visit the Above The Himalaya.
