Walk the classic Khumbu trail to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, then let a helicopter carry you back to Lukla — trading the descent for extra time at altitude and in Sherpa villages.

Trek through rhododendron forest and Gurung villages to Annapurna Base Camp, ringed by an amphitheatre of 7,000–8,000 m peaks, then fly back to Pokhara by helicopter.
