We decided to fly back to Lukla by helicopter instead of walking down, and it turned out to be the best decision of our entire trek. The flight offered incredible views of Everest and the surrounding peaks, and it only took about 15 minutes compared to days of hiking.
Nepal Helicopter Service provided top-notch communication, ensuring everything was clear and timely. The helicopter was clean, the takeoff seamless, and the landing at Lukla smooth. It’s a must-do for anyone finishing their Everest Base Camp journey.
The perfect way to finish the EBC trek
