What I like most about the Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Fly Out?

Stepping at Everest Base Camp (5364m) and Kalapatthar(5545m) and capturing Mt. Everest  and all surrounding peaks is the most beautiful moment to celebrate during your Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter. Along with this, one can enjoy going up to Hotel Everest View (3880m) and enjoy snacks viewing Mt. Everest. People also love spending some quality of time in Namche Bazaar by collecting souvenirs, going clubs and bars and having their favorite local cuisines like Yak Steak. 

Tipping for Guide and Porter 

Tipping for your guide and porter is not mandatory but they expect something extra from you after they work hard for you. You’d better prepare USD 5-10 per day per individual guide and porter. But, it doesn’t mean that you have to do the same as we recommend you. You reward them with some handsome tipping as well if you are satisfied. Sometimes, you don’t need to reward them with tipping if they don’t take a good care of you  and try to spoil your trip with some unnecessary personal benefits and interests.
