3 Days Everest Base Camp Trek

Me, my girlfriend and 8 years my Son were at Kala Patthar, Everest View Hotel through 3 days Everest Base Camp Trek from Nepal Himalayas Trekking. It was a fabulous family trip with Nepal Himalayas Trekking.

The perfect combination of walking, flying by a small Airline at Lukla Airport, and exploring at Kala Patthar and Everest View Hotel by Helicopter, which looks like the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. 

Thank you very for your great hospitality. For sure we will recommend to our friends about your great services.

Me, my girlfriend and 8 years my Son were at Kala Patthar, Everest View Hotel through 3 days Everest Base Camp Trek from Nepal Himalayas Trekking. It was a fabulous family trip with Nepal Himalayas Trekking.

The perfect combination of walking, flying by a small Airline at Lukla Airport, and exploring at Kala Patthar and Everest View Hotel by Helicopter, which looks like the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. 

Thank you very for your great hospitality. For sure we will recommend to our friends about your great services.
