Day 01. WELCOME TO NEPAL
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, our friendly representative will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign displaying your name. He will then drive you to the Gokarna Forest Resort.
Depending on your time of arrival, you are free to relax or explore the city.
In the evening, we will enjoy a Nepali dinner together.
Meals: Dinner with a glass of champagne (or any other drink of your preference).
Overnight in Kathmandu: Gokarna Forest Resort.
Day 02. MT. EVEREST CHAMPAGNE BREAKFAST BY PRIVATE HELICOPTER | ACTIVITIES (GOLF, SPA TREATMENT OR HORSE-RIDING TOUR)
Embark on a breathtaking Helicopter flight and admire the spectacular views of Mt. Everest and the Himalayas. Then, stop at the Yeti Mountain Home in Kongde (4250m) for an exceptional Champagne breakfast with Mt. Everest as a backdrop. You will spend about 15 minutes in Kongde.
Note: Why only 15 minutes? It takes time to adapt to high altitude. During a trek, you need to adjust your body and it takes days to acclimatize. If you ascend too fast, you will be in danger to develop high-altitude sickness. In trekking, there is one very important rule: "Trek high, sleep low". As you will reach Kongde by helicopter, your body won't be accustomed to the high altitude. 15 minutes is the maximum duration you can stay in Kongde in this case. Staying longer could be a serious high altitude threat.
Then, spend the afternoon at the Gokarna Forest Resort. Get ready to play golf on the 18-hole golf course at Gokarna or enjoy a 4-hour horse-riding tour or a "top to toe pampering" at the Gokarna Spa.
Meals: Breakfast.
Overnight in Kathmandu: Gokarna Forest Resort.
