- Lukla - A short helicopter refueling break at Lukla will give you time to adjust to the chilly air, marking your entry into the Himalayas.
- Pheriche - You’ll be split into two groups to adjust to the restricted passenger weight limit at higher altitudes. One group is shuttled to Everest Base Camp for a thrilling helicopter tour, and another explores the beautiful surroundings and waits for their turn.
- Everest Base Camp - The flight from Pheriche to EBC is a highlight in itself. You’ll pass through glaciers, snow-capped massifs, and the infamous Everest Base Camp. After getting a picturesque bird’s eye view of the base camp, Kala Patthar, and surrounding massifs, you’ll be flown to Hotel Everest View.
Kala Patthar offers the best view of Everest and surrounding peaks, a lot better than the view from the base camp itself.
- Hotel Everest View - Prepare to relish delicious breakfast at the highest-altitude hotel in the world. The terrace offers a sight to behold, with a spectacular view that looks like it was taken straight out of an artist’s imagination.

Sublime EBC trekking - Just returned from an EBC trekking with Sublime Trails, what a wonderful and unique experience! Ram and his team Prakash (guide) and Laxman (porter) have been very helpful throughout the whole process. From booking and return and beyond! They literally took care of everything, so the only thing I had to do was enjoying the hike and amazing scenery. Hopefully I will return to Nepal for an Annapurna trekking with Sublime Trails, would definitely recommend them!

Mesmerizing Everest Helicopter Tour with Sublime Trails in Nepal - After Kala Patthar, my favorite part was the landing at Everest View Hotel, where a delicious breakfast awaited us with the stunning mountain backdrop. Sipping coffee while surrounded by nature's grandeur, it's hard not to feel a profound sense of belonging in this extraordinary landscape.
What set the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour apart for me was its accessibility. Unlike the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp, this tour required little physical exertion and was suitable for a 56-year-old (yours truly). It's the perfect option for those short on time or looking for a more personalized experience of the Himalayas.

Dream Come True - My long-cherished dream of witnessing Everest has finally come true, all thanks to Ram and his team. I don't have enough words to express how I felt throughout the journey. Ram made sure I had a fantastic window seat, which allowed me to revel in the stunning vistas of Everest and the Himalayas. It was a life-changing adventure, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sublime Trails for an unforgettable Everest experience.

Everest and Bhuton Trip - What a wonderful visit to a great nation Napal and beautiful country Bhutan. Right from the airport Ram and team had us at ease, no worries. Ram then gave us the news wheee Gov of Napal Aviation had grounded all the helicopters “no more trips to the base” needless to say we were very disappointed. Me and my wife Sue discussed to turn around and just go to Bhutan but Ram and team worked tirelessly and coordinated a private helicopter 🚁 trip to Everest View Hotel and go upto 18000 feet, could not land but we saw the most majestic mountain in the world “Everest” it’s a dream come true. Never before we experienced something like this
Way to go Ran love ya

BEST TRIP EVER - We’re just glad we chose Ram and his Sublime Trails team for the tour to Everest. Extremely courteous from the get go, they planned everything perfectly. I speak on behalf of me and my friends when I say this - we definitely recommend a heli tour to Everest, the scenery is AMAZING!! When you do it, choose Sublime Trails without second thought. Thank you again, Ram.

Unforgettable Nepal tour. - Ram and his team organised an excellent tour. Ram went out of his way, we went to Bardiya National Park to track Tigers, when we didn’t see any after 2 days he arranged and changed our flights that we could stay longer. I will recommend Sublime Trails for anyone.

Flying close to Everest was my dream until I fly to Everest. - Mount Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Sublime Trails was one of the amazing trip of my life. I was so thrilled to see Everest and other prominent mountains Infront of me. Mr. Ram from Sublime Trails offered me a window seat for almost trip and hence, I got amazing moments Infront of my eyes.
The cost was affordable. Also, Mr. Ram sent a representative on my hotel to pick me up and drop me in the Kathmandu airport. After fight briefing, the flight went smoothly throughout. My photos from this trips are also amazing. I loved every corner seen from the flight. It was best moment of my life. I lived a life.
