      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Trip title states EBC Trek with Heli ride so assumed this was included in the price. This seems like false advertising.

    • Himalayan Social JourneyOperatorWritten January 2024

      Heli ride from Pheriche to Lukla is included in the trip cost. Optional Helicopter ride to and from Lukla costs additional US $250 per person per way.
