My big gorilla hands just shed a tear.
I can tell you exactly what it cost for me. I took the helicopter from Gorakshep, the highest/last town on the EBC trek, to Lukla, the crazy airport people call the most dangerous one in the world. For me, a 255 lbs / 115kg guy, 2 Nepalis that are each half my size, a pilot, and our not-that-heavy hiking gear was 2000 USD in October of 2024.

It also has the added bonus of removing a couple days of trekking down the mountain. The hike from Gorakshep to Lukla was scheduled to take 3 days; and the helicopter took us to Lukla is 20 minutes.".
