Trekking of the Three Steps Everest ( 17 days )
Kathmandu - Lukla Airport ( Heliport )
Important:
I recommend seeing the route by computer.
By mobile you will not be able to see the links, and much of the information.
November 17, 2019.
After more than 11 hours of flight from Madrid , with a stopover in Doha (Qatar) , we finally arrived in Kathmandu , the capital of Nepal.
To pass the control of the airport, we had to stand in several queues, and wait for more than 1 hour. It was a bit heavy for us due to the lack of information, but with a little patience we finally made it through.
Outside, Santo, our liaison in the Nepali company with which we had contracted the Trekking from Madrid, was waiting for us.
The feeling I had when I left the Kathmandu Airport was very special; It seemed like a dream come true.
I was in the country where 8 of the 14 highest mountains on earth are located, and we were preparing to overcome one of the best trekking that can be done in the Himalayas : the Three Steps of Everest , where we will see 5 eight thousand .
I had read so many mountain books about the Himalayas and Kathmandu that it seemed like I had already been there.
They took us by car to the hotel in the Thamel neighborhood , in the very center of the city, where all the tourists stay, especially mountaineers. Here are the majority of hotels and restaurants in the city. In addition, practically all the shops are specialized stores in mountain equipment.
The traffic in this city is a real chaos, but within its chaos, with the help of the horn, they warn of their movements and everyone circulates.
When we arrived at the hotel, we toasted with an Everest beer for what would be an unforgettable trip.
Then we exchanged currency in rupees for the trekking, had dinner and went to sleep, since at 5:00 in the morning they came to pick us up to go back to the airport and fly to Lukla .
At first we had contracted the plane flight, but due to works at the Kathmandu airport, a large part of the air traffic was diverted from Lukla to the city of Ramechhap, so we looked for the helicopter alternative.
The flight was slightly more expensive, but we avoided the hard 5 hour drive on bad roads and heavy traffic.
The helicopter ride is approximately 45 minutes.
It was a novelty for everyone, and an unforgettable experience.
The helicopter belonged to the company of the great mountaineer Simone Moro
The feeling of crossing Kathmandu towards the east, and going deeper into that beautiful landscape until reaching Lukla, located in the middle of the mountainside, was incredible.
We were even more shocked to see the famous Tenzing-Hillary airport runway.
They say it has the terrible privilege of being the most dangerous airport in the world.
We did the return by plane and it was very exciting.
We landed at the heliport (Un descampado) that was to the left of the runway. We were surprised by the constant movement of helicopters bringing people and material.
After unloading the bags, we were taken to the Khumbu Lodge where we were introduced to the Sherpas who would help us with the transport of the luggage.
A black tea and we set off.
NOTE:
You will be able to see the different stages of the route, with a short description, with the best photos and videos that we have been able to take during the entire route.
Except for some sections of the steps of the passes and glaciers, the rest is very well signposted.
The truth is that living an experience for 17 days in the Himalayas is the most that any mountain fan can ask for.
And of course, all thanks to the help of our good Nepali friends.

Como bien dices Juan, prolegómenos de un viaje sencillamente único.
Como mola ,menudo paseito en helicóptero.
Saludo compis.
Es el comienzo antes del Trekking y tenía que documentarlo.
Por falta de tiempo, ire subiendo las etapas una a una.
Gracias a los dos.
Un sueño hubiera sido también para mi, haber podido acompañaros.
Un privilegio gozar de vuestra maravillosa información y felicitaros por esta estupenda experiencia que habéis vivido.
El nerviosismo y la emoción son normales ante tanta belleza, sobre todo los que amamos la montaña.
Un lugar, el Himalaya, seguro dificil de olvidar.
Nuevamente os felicito y te agradezco que nos muestres todas las etapas de la ruta.
Un placer que lo compartáis con todos.
Un fuerte abrazo compañeros.
Nos vemos pronto.
Pues ya sabes, es cuestión de proponérselo.
Es un viaje que merece la pena.

Gracias, Juan, por dedicar tanto esfuerzo y tiempo para poder tener este extraordinario recuerdo en wikiloc de este maravilloso viaje que hicimos juntos y que, sinceramente, nunca pensé en realizar. Tras unos primeros días de adaptación a este nuevo entorno de alta montaña, hospedajes, comidas, cultura,... disfruté cada segundo y me integré totalmente en este especial rincón de la Tierra, que ya forma parte de mi libro de felicidad. Un abrazo¡
Merece la pena este esfuerzo.
Es un recuerdo para todos.
Gracias Richard.
Hola!
Por cuanto sale ese helicoptero?
Gracias!
Al presupuesto inicial en avioneta que sería de unos 250 € i/v, tuvimos que añadir 90 € por persona para el viaje de ida en helicóptero.
Un saludo,
