14 days Everest base camp trek is the best-selling high-altitude trekking package in Nepal. But, do you know that a short 7-day Everest base camp trek is the best alternate pick to it? In this trek, first, you'll hike to Kala Patthar for six days, and on the 7th day, you'll fly back to Kathmandu by helicopter to end this trek.

Everest base camp trekking has been a favorite high-altitude hike among travelers forever. It has been the ultimate destination for trekkers across the world. Nepal, known for its highest peaks, is synonymous with Everest.

When you plan a tour to Nepal, without a doubt, the Everest Base Camp trek pops into your mind. You'll likely choose the classic 14 days of Everest trekking. But, if you can hike at a high altitude without acclimatizing, you better select a 7-day Everest base camp trek with a helicopter return from Kala Patthar.

We've planned and prepared a short Everest base camp trek for seven days with every high-altitude trekking nuance. We believe that our valued clients enjoy every detail this trek offers, with utmost safety. This trek would be challenging but also rewarding. A week-long steep ascent, decent, tireless sightseeing, countless mountains, and high-altitude passes make it one of a kind.

Travelers on the Everest trek admire the diverse alpine landscape of the Everest region. You'll experience the gradual change in alpine terrain from lush oak and pine forest in Lukla to the almost barren landscape above Tengboche. Serene hike along rhododendron bloomed forests to icy Khumbu glacier is the best of a 7-day Everest base camp trek.

Unlike one day Everest base camp helicopter tour, the 7 day Everest trekking package is a blend of hike and helicopter flight. People prefer Everest helicopter tours to sightsee Everest and other mountains from the sky. It is best when you don't have days to hike to the base camp.

But, trekking to Everest base camp for 7 days gives you the experience of high-altitude hiking. The sweat and sightseeing never end throughout. From Gorak Shep, you'll fly back in a helicopter to Lukla and Kathmandu. Every terrain you hiked to the base camp appears panoramic from a helicopter. It is the beauty of the 7 days Everest base camp trek.

Throughout this trek, giant mountains will be your companion. Pumori, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and many mountains surround you. 360-degree viewing of these massifs on a clear weather day is eternal bliss to eye and soul.

On top, the bird's eye view of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Khumbu glacier, icefalls, and glacial lakes on helicopter return from Kala Patthar makes the 7 day Everest base camp trekking experience sublime.

Weather and Temperature at Everest Base Camp Trek  7 Days

Weather and temperature on Everest trekking play a significant role in how well the trek becomes. On top, 7 days of Everest base camp trekking and helicopter return from Kala Patthar have no acclimatization day. Thus, it has to be on a fine day.

In Spring, the daytime temperature of 15-20°C makes the day Everest trek easier. Also, the nighttime temperature of -10°C is bearable. Curling inside warm sleeping bags next to mountains is a thrilling experience in 7-day Everest base camp trekking.

During Autumn, hiking along the shore of Dudh Koshi and through the lush alpine forest is calm. Wind Speed of 5 mph and temperature of 14-20°C in the daytime makes the hike less sweaty. Further, nighttime temperatures around -5°C won't be much issue to curl in warm beds in lodges at Gorak Shep and other lodges en route.

Additional Information

Trekker’s Safety and Security

7 Days Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return from Kala Patthar is a 100% safe and secured trek to the Everest region. This trek is designed for experienced trekkers who can continue hiking without acclimatisation.

Further, trek guides and porters will be with you throughout this trek. You'll be in safe hands. Also, the luxury flyout at the end of this trip makes it further secured and luxurious.
 

Baggage weight limit - For porter and Airlines

You can carry the baggage if you don't have issues with hiking for a week. But, you can also hire a porter to carry your luggage. If you're a solo trekker to Everest, you have to look for the trek guide, which will cost you USD 10 daily. Also, they don't carry more than 15kg from a single person.

If you're planning to book this trip with Sublime Trails, you'll get a trekking porter as inclusive on the package. You don't have to pay for the porters. However, two trekkers can share a porter with a combined weight limit of 30kg.

The airline companies that fly to Lukla allow 15kg baggage weight for each person. For additional weight, you must have to pay additional costs. Hence, only put the essential items in your backpack.
 

Trek difficulty

Trekkers even consider Everest Base Camp the easiest route to trek in Nepal. It involves two days of acclimatisation with five hours of average hikes each day.

But, the seven days Everest trek is without acclimatisation. Hence, hiking every day without any acclimatisation stop may be an issue. But, experienced trekkers hike the route comfortably. The tour will be a moderately complex grade if you can walk without acclimatisation.
 

Altitude Sickness

If you're an inexperienced trekker, the seven days Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return is not for you. Those used to high altitudes are the best fit for this trek. The primary reason is that no acclimatisation makes the continuous hike for novice trekkers difficult.

The symptoms of headaches, nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath are common in altitude sickness. One can easily avoid high altitude sickness with standard medications and a proper diet. However, you may need an expert health care service if the symptom persists. You'll get helicopter evacuation in emergencies, but only with proof of travel insurance.
 

Flight delays and transportation

Sublime Trails offers complimentary airport pickup and drop service for you upon your arrival and departure.

For this trek, you'll take a flight to Lukla, trek to EBC and then return in a helicopter from Kala Patthar to either Lukla or Kathmandu. Besides these, there's no transportation involved in this trek.

Since you'll be flying to Lukla, the weather becomes a crucial factor affecting it. If you're in Spring and Autumn for this trip, you'll be less likely to get delayed or receive flight cancellation. But, sudden weather changes can affect the flight even in these months. We request you plan your trip with one or two extra buffer days to cope with the delays and cancellations.
 

Guides and porter safety

We are highly committed to the safety of our trek crews, including trek guides and porters. We make sure that they get proper meals and accommodations throughout the trip.

We also ensure our trekking guides' health, safety, and helicopter evacuation in emergencies. Also, we provide our trek guides and porters with reasonable salaries and remuneration.
 

Respect to local culture

Everest region, home to the Sherpa people, is enriched with ancient history, culture, and preserved lifestyle. The locals here are friendly and supportive of the trekkers.

As a trekker, you must respect the local people, their cultures, and their beliefs. Never try to harm flora, fauna, and monuments en route. We request you to practice sustainable tourism; hence, you must comply with the guidelines we follow on every trek.
 

Tipping for Trek Crew

We request you tip your trek crew at the end of this trip at either Kala Patthar or Lukla. Your tip can bring a smile to their face and encourage them to work even more diligently. Throughout seven days of Everest Base Camp Trek, these people support you through thick and thin. Hence, a tip equivalent to 105 of the total trek cost will be a decent sum for them to receive from you.

FAQs

    The hike to Namche Bazaar from Lukla is easy and comfortable. The well-maintained trekking trail makes the hike less strenuous.

  • Yes, you can use the internet most of the time during the EBC trek. The easiest way to access the internet is by using mobile data provided by Nepal Telecom and Ncell. It will be fast enough to make video calls, etc. However, the network might not be available in some remote places.

    Another option is using Everest Trek Internet access with an extra charge, which will work all the way to Everest Base Camp.

  • Yes, the cell phone works in most areas. You can use SIM cards of Ncell and Ntc to make calls. The network might not be available in some places but there will be no problem with communication.

Also, you'll get helicopter evacuation in case of severe altitude sickness issues, but you must have travel insurance.

    7 Days Everest Base Camp trek with luxurious helicopter ride

    I had no issues hiking to Everest Base Camp and returning to Kathmandu on helicopter. It was one of the best experience I had. I doubted that I'd get altitude sickness but the tour plan and my previous trekking experience made this hike effortless. I was on a good shape until reaching Kala Patthar.

    Later, a helicopter ride was a cherry on the cake for this trip. Sublime Trails did managed a helicopter on time, which was best for viewing Everest and other mountains. I enjoyed this trip. It was the best value trip. It was affordable.
