Overview of Everest Base Camp Trek 3 days with Helicopter Return

The Everest Base Camp Trek 3 days with Helicopter Return is a short option for travelers who do not have enough time for the usual longer Everest Base Camp trek. You will spend the first two days walking through the Khumbu region and then use a helicopter for the return journey on the third day.

The trip starts with a flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla, depending on the flight arrangements for your travel date. After landing at Lukla, you will walk to Phakding and spend the night there. The following morning, the trail continues toward Namche Bazaar. This is a longer walking day, with the trail passing through forests, suspension bridges and small mountain settlements before reaching Namche at around 3,440 meters.

Namche Bazaar gives you your first real feel of the Everest region. You can walk around the town, see the local shops and spend some time taking in the mountain surroundings. Since there is no separate acclimatization day in this itinerary, it is important to walk at a comfortable pace and let your guide know if you feel unwell.

On the third day, you will continue the journey by helicopter toward the Everest region. The helicopter route, landing points and return arrangements depend on the confirmed flight operation and weather conditions. This makes the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return suitable for travelers who want to combine some trekking with a shorter return by air.

Although the itinerary is only three days, the first two days involve several hours of walking and the final day takes you into a much higher altitude. Good preparation, suitable clothing and a reasonable level of fitness are important for the trip.

Everest base camp Trek 3 days with Helicopter Return Route

The Everest Base Camp Trek 3 days starts with a flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla, depending on the flight operation for your travel date. After landing at Lukla, you will begin walking toward Phakding and spend the first night there.

The following day, the trail continues from Phakding to Namche Bazaar. You will walk along the Dudh Koshi River, cross suspension bridges and pass through forests and small mountain settlements before reaching Namche at around 3,440 meters.

The final day is different from a regular Everest Base Camp trek. Instead of continuing the entire route on foot, you will travel by helicopter toward the Everest region. The journey provides views of the surrounding mountains and includes the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar area according to the confirmed helicopter operation.

The exact landing points, overflight arrangements and return route can change because helicopter flights depend on weather, visibility and operational conditions. Your guide and team will provide the confirmed arrangements before the flight.

This route makes the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return suitable for travelers who want to experience the Khumbu trekking trail while reducing the number of days required for the return journey.

Day	Route	Approx. Walking	Main Travel
Day 1	Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla, then Lukla to Phakding	3 to 4 hrs	Flight and trekking
Day 2	Phakding to Namche Bazaar	5 to 6 hrs	Trekking
Day 3	Namche Bazaar to the Everest region and return to Kathmandu	As per confirmed operation	Helicopter

The first two days of the Everest Base Camp Trek 3 days are completed on foot, taking you from Lukla to Phakding and then to Namche Bazaar. On the third day, the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return changes from trekking to helicopter travel. The exact landing points and return arrangements depend on the confirmed helicopter operation and weather conditions.

 Verified Thank you for the best tour we have ever had!
I planned to stay at the Everest View Hotel this time and travel there because I wanted to see Everest, the highest mountain in the world, slowly, but despite the short schedule due to my children's school, all I got was a response that it was difficult to contact several tour companies. The Himaraya Trekking, Above, has worked out a smooth and safe schedule and had the best experience for me and my family. I will never forget the view of Mount Everest. Thank you very much.

 Verified Another Amazing Trip with Above the Himalaya
This is my 3rd trip with Above the Himalaya and Puru. Each trip with Puru has exceeded expectation with the quality of the guides, porters and attention to detail. We were a team of 5 trekker and our ages were all above 67 years of age with the oldest being 73. We are all experienced hikers and trekker and our plan was to trek up the Khumbu Valley to the Cho La pass to Gokyo to the Renjo La pass to return to Lukla. However, the weather altered our plans as Cyclone Montha blanketed the country in rain at lower elevations and significant snowfall at the upper elevations. Due to the weather, no one was trekking and everyone was staying put in their current location during the storm. All the passes were closed due to the deep snow. We were in Namche when the storm was blanketing the country.This is where Above the Himalaya really shines is in the ability to adapt to the changing conditions and our safety. In conversation with our lead guide, we decided to alter our route to trek through the Gokyo valley to reach Gokyo and then do the Renjo La pass. Sitaram our lead guide and Dhurba our assistant guide was both attentive to the changing conditions and always kept a keen eye for how we were doing and feeling on the trek. The pacing was excellent as none of us had any hint of altitude sickness as we reached a maximum elevation of 5,365m.Having trekked and hiked all over the world with different tour companies, Puru’s company is simply the best. The communications, focus on safety, the guides and staff, the accommodations, and the food are all amazing. All you have to do is focus on the beauty of the mountains, enjoy the joyfulness of the Nepali people and have fun exploring the trails. I am planning my next trip with Puru for 2027 as there is no other trekking company to match Puru’s level of service.

 Verified Take a small step into the Himalayas
I went with Above The Himalaya Trekking’s Everest View Hike in November 2025 and can only recommend with my whole heart!I had never visited Nepal or the Himalayas before and had a life long dream of seeing Mt Everest. I had though, hiked a lot in various parts of the world, but never above 2000 m, so I went with the five day Everest View Trek to take a small step and see how I would handle the altitude. From first enquiry about dates and various questions, to my arrival back from the trip, Puru has been an invaluable help, always standby on mail and WhatsApp, pulling strings and making things happen.Also big shout out to the amazing guide I was teamed with, Kamal, who did everything he could to answer all my curious questions about vegetation, animal life, Nepalese culture and everything in-between :) Kamal was the perfect gentleman, offering little treats and reminding me to take breaks, and all in all I felt very safe and in good hands all the time. He also had good banter and jokes, which lifted the spirit of even the hardest climb.It was cold most nights and mornings and even though the tea houses provided heavy blankets (and I could borrow extra) I was glad I had the sleeping bag with me, which I rented through Puru. But I could definitely have survived without and saved the space in my pack.In total, I’m very pleased I’ve got to experience this lovely country with Above the Himalaya Trekking and if I ever come back for the big leap into the mountains, I’ll chose Kamal and Puru all over again :)

 Verified Nepal trek-Gokyo
Second trek with Above the Himalaya, this time to Gokyo and over Renjo La. Our lead and assistant guides (Sitaram and Dhurba) were excellent. Due to several days of rain at lower elevations and snow higher we needed to change our plans while in the midst of our trek. Above the Himalaya accomplished this smoothly and flawlessly, which ultimately resulted in a better experience. We’ll be back!

 Verified Great Experience and Friendly people.
We had a great time with Above the Himalayas tour company in Oct. Ajay, the tour guide in Kathmandu is very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a lot of places that we can experience local authentic daily life. Puru, the owner, arranged and organized our trip in such way that we really feel comfortable and enjoyable. We are specially impressed by his quick action and management skills. Our flight to Pokhara got cancelled due to bed weather. Within minutes, Puru was able to arrange a car and a driver to drive us to Pokhara! It saved out trip.

 Verified Glorious trekking experience - ABC
We had the most wonderful experience doing the Annapurna Base Camp trek with our fabulous guide, Tanka, and porter, Ravi. The trek was glorious, despite some rainy days, and although we weren't sure we would get to see the peaks at ABC, the weather cleared just in time and we had an amazing sunrise there. What made the whole trip so special, though, were Tanka and Ravi, who remained cheerful at all times and went out of their way to make everything as good as it could be. This included setting a pace with regular breaks which made the walking completely manageable, modifying the itinerary so we could visit additional villages, getting up in the middle of the night to see if the sky would be clear for sunrise, and bringing a sense of ease and humour to all our interactions. We just loved the whole thing and are keen to return to Nepal for another trek. It was magical!

 Verified Above the Himalayas goes above and beyond expectations!
From start to finish everything was perfect! Puru, the managing director, was always quick with his responses to my questions when I first contacted him about planning our trek, and he continued to check to see that everything was going well throughout.Our guide Tanka and porter Ravi were fantastic! Their friendly demeanor kept our experience lively and interesting the entire time and made sure that we were well taken care of. Even small details like Ravi coming in and double checking our rooms to see that we had left nothing behind before leaving each morning, and seeing that meals were prepared the way we liked them weren't overlooked. Tanka was also quite knowledgeable about the mountains, the people, and just about everything "Nepal". He enthusiastically shared stories about his family and Nepalese life in a general way.Although there was a clear itinerary each day, and for the whole trek, Tanka allowed for flexibility in terms of time and where to stay. He was even willing and able to make changes to same-day accommodation based on how far we anticipated hiking that morning. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our hike and I would definitely recommend Above the Himalayas for anyone considering a trek.

For me and my son, Pru thought of a four-day trekking tour.His interaction was very smooth.On the first day, I went with my son to Gandrouk, and on the second day, he went to a higher place (mulde view point, Poon hill) with his guide Ashok. Ashok was very kind and took me to various local places. The food was also very good.My guide, Tangka, was very kind and helped me a lot.I recommend this travel agency because it's great.

My friends and I just completed the EBC trek. From the time I met Puru at the Canada Place trade show in Vancouver BC, Canada I felt comfortable going to Nepal. His communications via WhatsApp were seamless answering all our questions. Everything went exactly according to plan. Our guide Suresh was amazing. He took very good care of us the whole time. From guiding us to making sure we had everything we needed to be happy. The food the whole way up and back was amazing! 5 ⭐️. Our 2 porters were great as well. I have a whole new respect and appreciation for what they do. They are the true hero’s to what we can do as a team. We chose the basic trek the lodging was to be expected. If I was to do again I would choose the luxury trek. The hotels in Kathmandu at the Hotel Aloft and the Hotel Lo Mustang were top notch as well as the buffets. Highly recommend this local company!

 Verified Great tour, would recommend!
My friend and I completed the 10 day Annapurna circuit with Above Trekking Himalaya. Buddha our porter was a little mountain goat, pocket rocket. When I got altitude sickness he carried my bag, as well as mine and my friend’s big pack. He was friendly and loved to played cards with us, always with a cheeky smile on his face. Sitaram our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and quite serious. He was always available if we had any questions and went above and beyond to try get us the best/quietest rooms in the tea houses. Puru was fabulous working behind the scenes to ensure our trip was as smooth as possible. He was very quick to respond to any messages. It was a great experience to see Nepal with some locals and I certainly appreciated their support when I succumbed to altitude sickness. They stayed close to us the whole time and checked in frequently making us feeling safe and supported the entire time.

Best Trekking in short time

I have recently returned from wonderful trekking and tours in Nepal. I had a fantastic time on the three-day Everet base camp trek.

I recommend contacting Above The Himalaya, a local agency in Thamel Kathmandu. Puru(Manager) and his team were polite and very honest.

I got more than 15 quotations and their rates on tripadvisor.com. The agency, Above the Himalayas, was very fit for my request. Their donation to a local Nepali school was so good.

And their quick and polite response was a beautiful feature. I was delighted with Puru’s polite and detailed response to my e-mail question. He perfectly explained Everes base camp trek 3 days. He even gave all details if the question was so stupid and small.

Again, I thank Above The Himalayas for the beautiful time with Mt. Everest. God bless you, Puru and Hari, and the great Nepal and Himalayan mountains.

Finally, if you consider trekking in Nepal, you are NEVER disappointed with Above The Himalayas.
