The views are nice if we were visiting on vacation,” but now the priority must be safety. The snow and ice could be softer on the way down, and long hours of walking can lead to fatigue that causes slips and falls. It’s a different animal on the way down, and you have to keep your concentration up every 60 seconds. The last day back down to the village of Khare is where again you have a chance for another overnight warm lodge and can celebrate your achievement with your Guide and trekking team.

These familiar landmarks, the suspension bridges and tiny villages — it’s all like reuniting with old friends.

That night, you’ll check into the lodge back in Lukla, where you can take a hot shower (which will likely cost extra) and have one final celebratory meal with your guide, porters, and possibly other trekkers, as most folks scramble to get there the same day. (And now’s the moment to tip and show your appreciation for the tethatwho got you there.) The final night in Lukla is typically more laid-back and celebratory.

Your trekking agency can arrange this, and while it is costly, it is a definite way to get back to Kathmandu on time for your return flight home. “If you have the helicopter in your back pocket, it’s a really good safety net to have,” Hickenlooper said.
