Unique & Exciting Adventure in Nepal!
We had a unique and excellent experience, full of adventure with the help of himalayasonfoot agency! We stayed at Maya Boutique Hotel for 12 days. Surendra and his team arranged everything for us. They upgraded our room to the 5th floor with balcony after a few nights for free, which was amazing . We had a day helicopter trip to the base camp (~5300 m height) of Everest by himalayasonfoot. The trip was outstanding. Everest view while having lunch at 3380 m height was spectacular! Worth every penny of it. The agency arranged a perfect trek with Rajan to Nagarkot and the rest, as well to all Unicef heritage. Robin is unbelievably helpful. Anything we asked was ready in less than 5 minutes. Even if you ask for swimming in an infinity pool or a couple massage, they will check the prices and tell you where would be the best to go! They also helped us with pliers and screwdrivers to fix our luggage. So we have already decided on our next trip to Nepal! And we will definitely come to Maya Boutique hotel and himalayasonfoot.com Agency!

A truly epic adventure
An amazing experience from start to finish. From our first communication with Himalayas on foot to our departure from Kathmandu everything was just perfect. Mukti, the company owner and Yaka our guide were exceptionally attentive and made sure we were well taken care of and all our needs were met. Yaka was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and really made the trek an education as well as an great experience. He also moderated the pace of our trek to suit our ability and made sure we had plenty of stops for rest and tea. Overall this was a tremendous adventure , Mukti and Yaka made it a monumental, once in a lifetime experience.

What an adventure - thank you Himalayas on Foot!
From the first Viber conversation with Mukti to the day we left the country this company was fantastic. I don't know what more they could have done to make this trip better. We started with a very tight schedule (our choice) and weather issues were a challenge but Mukti arranged and re-arranged until we were able to complete everything on our itinerary including a highly recommended visit to Bhutan. However, the absolute highlight was the 8 day hike to Mt Everest Base Camp with our guide and new friend Deepak Pandi. His only concern was us and our satisfaction! In a good way Deepak worried over our water intake, food choices, acclimatization and rest - he intended to get us to EBC. We can't say enough good things about our guide. We highly recommend Himalayas on Foot. Mukti and his team will do whatever it takes to make your visit to Nepal one you will never forget.

The best hike of our life - Thanks to Mukti, Yadu and the HOF crew
Thanks to Himalayas On Foot company owner Mukti Pandi for organising an excellent hiking adventure to EBC for us. He was very flexible and quick-acting especially in organising our helicopter flights even in difficult weather conditions. Also special thanks to our awesome guide, Arjun Kapri (Yadu) who was very friendly, knowledgeable and pro-active in monitoring for signs of altitude or other sicknesses while we were high in the mountains. My wife and I felt very safe in his hands. Overall a great experience and we would definitely recommend Himalayas On Foot for all Himalayan trekking adventures.

Glad we chose Himalayas on Foot
Planned for a different kind of holiday. It required weeks of preparation and we had to put in lots of hardwork because our goal is to reach the Everest Base Camp! We couldn't have done it without the help of Himalayas on Foot. The owner, Mukti, was very hands-on and attentive. He knew the ins and outs of the trek and would assist us in all our needs. He made sure that everything was taken care of by arranging our transportation via helicopter when the planes couldn't make it to Lukla due to the weather condition. We got nice hotels with bed heaters to boot to help us fight the extreme cold. As for the meals, we were able to choose a main course and a dessert too! Plus a warm tea on the side. Even after the trek, Mukti helped us get back to Kathmandu by arranging another helicopter ride back to the city. So happy we still made it on schedule. Our guide Raj was super! He took care of us, shared stories, took our pictures, and played card games with him! One moment we are learning, the next one we are laughing because he came with silly jokes too! What a treat to have someone like him take you to the Base Camp - knowledgeable, helpful, and funny! We are sure to have found a friend in him. We also had a comfortable stay at the Maya boutique hotel in Kathmandu which was right in the heart of Thamel. The free massage that came with the package was also worth mentioning. I had a good stretch and my muscles loved it! The only way to get the best out of this adventure is thru Himalayas on foot. Definitely the best one out there. :)

Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp cost?
+
Prices start at $5,770 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp take?
+
Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp?
+
Included: A strong and committed Porter. and the weight limit is 20 kg and shared amongst 2 trekkers; All ground transfers by a private vehicle; Full board meals (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) throughout the trek; A farewell dinner in Kathmandu on the last evening; and Shairing Helicopter ride from Gorak Shep to either Lukla or Kathmandu. Not included: Visa fees/ International airfare to & from home city; Excess baggage charges; Lunch & evening meals in Kathmandu; and Travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 353 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Luxury Base camp Trek with Chopper back from the base camp offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
