Note:
Due to unforeseen circumstances and incidents beyond our control, our regular itinerary may be somewhat altered. Unfavorable weather patterns, natural disasters, recently enacted laws, political events, etc., could all be contributing factors. Based on the best options, situations are evaluated for potential solutions that would enable the trip to restart as much as possible. We ask for your patience and understanding during these times.
Additionally, at altitudes higher than 4,500 meters, the helicopters are not permitted to land or take off with more than three passengers. Additionally, we will split the Pheriche flight into groups of three and two if you are traveling in a group of five. Each party will then take a plane to Everest Base Camp. We'll continue the journey after meeting up with everyone in Pheriche.
