Everest Base Camp trek day 13 brings the adventure to a close as Dave and Kim fly from Lukla back to Kathmandu. This final episode covers the flight, the car ride through Kathmandu traffic to the hotel, and a well earned meal at Fire and Ice Pizza.

Flying Out of Lukla

With the actual trek complete, the couple flies from Lukla to Kathmandu. The Lukla flight is famous in its own right, departing from one of the world's most talked about mountain airstrips, and it marks the official end of days spent walking through the Khumbu region.

Back in Kathmandu Traffic

After the quiet of the mountains, the car ride from the airport to the hotel reintroduces the couple to Kathmandu traffic, a jarring but memorable return to city life. The contrast between serene trails and chaotic streets is part of what makes a Nepal trip so distinctive.

Celebration Pizza at Fire and Ice

The trek celebration happens at Fire and Ice Pizza, a long standing Kathmandu favorite. Dave and Kim go out for pizza and share their really good meal with viewers, a fitting reward after 13 days on the trail and a satisfying final chapter to the Everest Base Camp series.
