Is this trekking for me? How difficult is the Luxury Helicopter Everest base camp trek?
The highest altitude of this trek is Kala Patthar, 5644m, and the second highest altitude on this trip is 5364m, Everest base camp. The trek above the 5000m altitude is rated as a demanding trek, but it is not a really challenging one. This is the shortest trekking itinerary; however, there are two acclimatization days at an altitude of 3440m and 4300m in our itinerary, which are fully helpful to prevent unnecessary AMS. Your previous trekking experience is an advantage for this trek; however, all newer trekkers are welcome to participate.All you need to be is physically fit and ready to trek for a minimum of 4 hours to a maximum of 6-7 hours.
The best time to trek to Everest base camp by luxury helicopter:
The best months for this luxury trekking for the best weather are October, November and December. The second-best month in the spring season is March. April and May. The monsoon season starts in Nepal in mid-June and ends by mid-September, so during these 3 months there is not great weather. The season begins in September, so there are fewer hikers on the trail.
