On Tuesday the 27th of March we left the luxury of the Hyatt hotel in Kathmandu. Usually on an Everest Basecamp trek you would fly, by plane, to Lukla then trek to Namche Bazar. Our tour was different! We arrived in Namche Bazar in spectacular style, by chopper, swooping onto a postage stamp helipad on a cliff top just above the town. We should have flown there directly but due to the weather conditions we first stopped at Lukla airstrip. The ride was awesome, giving us our first view of Everest, albeit just the summit in the distance.
