The next day early morning you will start your trek and cross the serene Sherpa settlements of Benkhar, Chumoa, Monjo, and Jorsalle and suspension bridges along the trail before reaching the Sherpa capital of Khumbu Namche Bazaar.

On the final day of your 3 days EBC trek, you will do a short hike after breakfast to the world’s highest-point hotel named Everest View Hotel (3880 m). After spending some relaxing time and enjoying your moment, you will fly on a helicopter from Namche to the Everest Base Camp, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the mountain ranges of Nepal. After some time at the base camp, you will return back to Kathmandu. And in just 3 days your whole Everest region adventure would be complete.

Why choose the Everest Base Camp Trek for 3 days?

Choosing the Short EBC trip for 3 days might be one of the most time-efficient journeys to Nepal's Himalayan region. Besides the time, there are other numerous benefits of choosing this 3 days trip.

Here is a list of reasons why choosing the Everest Base Camp trek for 3 days with a helicopter return is the best option.

• For those who have a limited amount of time but still wish to experience the entirety of Everest, this is the ideal adventure.
• You get a taste of both worlds with a combination of trekking and helicopter return.
• Fly over peaks and glaciers, land at Kala Patthar or Gorakhshep, and stand beneath the tallest mountain in the world.

• Visit traditional Sherpa communities, Buddhist stupas, and Sagarmatha National Park in just 3 days.
