The additional helicopter charge, is it per person? Or $1500 for two?

Yes, the helicopter charge of $1,550 is per person. Regarding the tour itself, I can offer a 10% discount on the base tour cost for two people, though please note this discount does not apply to the helicopter portion.

Is the $1550 helicopter charge an additional charge per person? There are two of us traveling together.

Yes, the helicopter charge of $1,550 is per person. Regarding the tour itself, I can offer a 10% discount on the base tour cost for two people, though please note this discount does not apply to the helicopter portion.

I wish to cancel. The reason I chose this tour was the helicopter flight segment which would have made the trip to Everest Base Camp more doable for me. Helicopter flights for tourism purposes have been banned for most of this year and show no signs of being allowed in the future.

Helicopter trips are not banned in November. The restrictions on helicopter flights for tourism purposes are typically in place only during the rainy season, and we expect flights to operate as planned for your scheduled departure. If you wish to do complete trek, you can trek till Everest Base Camp and return to Kathmandu by helicopter.

What does the tour consist of?

The tour includes a trek to Namche with a helicopter ride to Everest Base Camp and back. It is designed for those with limited time but want to experience the Everest region.

Would you recommend a private tour for a personalized experience?

A private tour is recommended if you seek a more tailored itinerary, especially if you wish to avoid the harder sections of the trek or need flexibility in trekking pace.

What if the weather does not permit a helicopter flight?

While the helicopter flight is usually 90% certain, if for any reason it cannot proceed, it will be rescheduled for Day 6, followed by your sightseeing activities.

How many are in the group for the trek?

Group sizes vary depending on the trek and the departure date. It is recommended to confirm the group size during booking for more specifics.

Is this a group tour or will I travel alone?

You can opt for a solo or a group tour. If you prefer solo, the itinerary can be adjusted accordingly. For joining a group, there are available slots in various scheduled tours.

When is the best time to plan this trek?

The ideal months for this trek are March, April, May, September, October, and November, offering favorable weather conditions.

do you work with travel agents from Australia? Do you offer travel agent commission please?

We are excited about the prospect of working with Australian travel agents and are pleased to offer a 10% commission on every successful booking.
