Julia C2024-03-04 I'm back in Nepal again... I'm back in Nepal again...This time I climbed the Mardi Himal hiking route.1,770 M to 4,200 M climbFishtail Peak still appeared in the thick clouds which was very impressive. Aeris L2024-03-02 Unforgettable hiking trip in Nepal The Nepali tour leader is very considerate and will pay attention to every move of the group members and provide assistance at any time.I had a great time on this trip, and I would like to thank the staff for their assistance and care along the way. Manish Pradhan2024-02-24 Mardi Trip - best value, quality support & guide, worthwhile trip I took a 4 day hike to Mardi Himal while on a family trip to Nepal. I wasn’t sure of the route at first. It turned out to be best decision. The upclose view of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Fishtail was unbelievable, & out of this world. We stayed at Badal Danda for couple of nights which provided the 360 view of the mountains on the north and pokhara valley, poonhill area on the south. You could do the hike 2-3 days but if you really want to soak in the views and get mesmerized by it, you might take the full 4-5 days route.Intrepid guide Suman Gurung was a real professional. He really understood the route and had great connections with the locals which made the trek extra special. Suman bhai brought a calm demeanor, encouraging & supportive attitude when I was struggling a bit during few uphill hike. Overall, I really enjoyed the hike and doing it with Suman bhai made this trip a memorable one. I would recommend Intrepid team and this route to any beginner looking to explore what Himalayas has to offer. 悦 高2023-12-17 Extremely Amazing EBC Trekking Experience great experience Everest base camp trekking with this company, our guide Bheg and Shiva, also porter. We had a great time enjoyed the experience with them. And arrived back safely! Definitely recommend this company, guide and porter! S B2023-11-09 EBC trek I completed the EBC trek solo with my guide Hem and porter Ram. It was an amazing experience though the trip had a few challenges: our flights to Lukla were cancelled due to poor weather and I developed a chest infection part way up the ascent. What was impressive was how the team (largely Hem and Santa) managed to quickly problem solve and find alternatives (e.g., hired a jeep to drive us to an alternate route to the trail) and connected me with stellar medical care. Despite these setbacks, we still managed to reach base camp! The flexibility of this team is quite noteworthy and it was clear they are experienced in handling these kinds of issues.The tea houses I stayed in were great and they served delicious food. I was never cold at night due to the really warm sleeping bag they rented to me. I was always encouraged to hike at my own pace, and to make sure I was eating and drinking enough. Communication with the team was excellent throughout and I felt well supported. The team was very punctual, responsive, and reliable. Hem is a fun, upbeat, thoughtful and friendly guide who was so helpful on this trek. He added personal touches to the trip like booking my favourite tea house in Namche on our descent. He and Ram have incredible work ethics which should be highlighted. They were always available, and when I was sick, Hem (and later Santa) accompanied me to the doctor and sat with me, saying all the right things to make me feel better. Hem is a good photographer as well, and took some beautiful pictures of us along the way. Because of my illness, I ended up having to cancel my ABC trek which was supposed to happen afterward. Again, the team (Santa and Hem) were able to pivot quickly and developed a sightseeing tour of Pokhara that was really fun, and salvaged my vacation. Overall, this was a great experience and I’m already thinking of coming back for more!

The tour typically lasts 3–5 hours, providing a full Everest experience, including flight time, landing at Kala Patthar, and a stop for breakfast at Everest View Hotel.
No trekking is required, making this tour accessible to travelers of all fitness levels. However, brief exposure to high altitudes during the Kala Patthar landing may require caution for those sensitive to altitude.
The best seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) for clear skies and optimal mountain views, though winter tours are also available with stunning snowy landscapes.
The helicopter flies up to an altitude of 5,550 meters, landing at Kala Patthar, the closest accessible viewpoint to Mount Everest.
Yes, altitude sickness is a common concern on the trek due to the high altitudes reached. Trekkers ascend gradually, and acclimatization days are built into most itineraries to reduce the risk. Common symptoms include headaches, nausea, and dizziness. It’s essential to monitor your health and communicate with your guide if you experience symptoms.
Yes, the tour is conducted with modern, high-altitude-equipped helicopters operated by experienced pilots who prioritize passenger safety and comfort.
Wear warm, layered clothing, a windproof jacket, sturdy shoes, and sunglasses. Carry essentials like a camera, sunscreen, and a small water bottle.

Yes, Wi-Fi and mobile networks are available at most tea houses, although they may be slow or inconsistent and come at an additional cost. Everest Link, a local Wi-Fi service, is common and can be purchased as a data card for use throughout the region.
Travel insurance is highly recommended, especially one that covers high-altitude trekking up to 5,500 meters and includes emergency evacuation services. It’s essential for peace of mind in case of altitude sickness or unforeseen circumstances.
Physical preparation should include cardio workouts, strength training, and endurance-building activities. Hikers should aim to build up to carrying a backpack while hiking for 4–6 hours a day, simulating the conditions of the trek.
