This proves that Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek can be tough for some of the trekkers so have some mild experience.

Is the Gokyo Shuttle Heli Tour worth it?

If you are booking with Roving Nepal Trek as your trekking agency, it is worth it. With the beauty of the Khumbu region and the chance to stay at an altitude of 5000m doesn't come every day. Although you will need to pack and train well to enjoy the trip fully, Roving Nepal Trek will help you in every step. Trekkers need to complete 6-8 hours of trekking every day which could be demanding. Every trekking opportunity that goes through to double digits is hard but at the end of the day, it is worth it. From brilliant mountains, food, and people, the Gokyo Shuttle Heli Tour is worth every penny.

Best Time to Do the Gokyo Lake Shuttle Heli Tour?

After you have planned for the Gokyo Lake Shuttle Heli tour you might be confused about when to choose the right time. To answer the query, the perfect time seems to be between March-May and September-November. Often known as the spring season, the weather is clear and there isn't much rainfall or snow which makes the journey quite easy. With no rain, there are hardly any issues of poor trails. Similarly, September to November is termed be autumn season. During this season you will have cool weather along with the festival vibes in Nepal. Local communities during this period are highly welcoming. Apart from these two when we talk about the winter Gokyo Lake trek things become very tough. As the lake freezes due to the cold weather, it is impossible to enjoy the actual beauty of the place.

Cost of Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle Trek

The cost of the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek depends upon the client. Not only that it will also depend upon the service that will be prescribed by the clients. If you are looking for luxury services then the cost will automatically increase while the cost decreases on shared services.

It is critical to be mentally fit if you want to pursue the Gokyo Lake Heli Shuttle trek. Meanwhile, Roving Nepal Trek would like to suggest trying and doing some workouts and exercises three months before the actual tour.
