Factors Affecting Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Cost

Itinerary days:

The duration that you choose for trek directly impacts the overall cost of Everest base camp trek with a helicopter return. Longer duration means you need to expense more in food, accommodation, guide and porter service.

Season:

The season you choose to trek also plays a significant role for the overall cost of EBC trek with heli return. Everest region in peak season sees a huge number of trekkers which means there will be high demand for facilities like room, food and helicopter service. The higher the demand the higher the cost will be.

Type of helicopter:

Miscellaneous Costs:
