Best of Everest — Trek Up, Fly Out!

The Everest Base Camp Trek with helicopter return from Skyline Treks was brilliant. Trekking up through Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche and Gorak Shep let me experience the classic trail at a comfortable pace. Arriving at Everest Base Camp was emotional — the Khumbu Icefall, prayer flags and massive peaks all around felt awe-inspiring. The helicopter ride back was the perfect cherry on top: we soared over vistas that look even better from above. Perfect for those who want the trek experience without the long descent back down.
