There are many ways to explore Nepal and the Nepalese Himalayas. Now you can admire the Himalayas and the beautiful landscapes of Nepal from a helicopter! Have a day in Nepal to explore? Then why not choose the helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp and its surroundings? This will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience for you. We prioritize your safety and enjoyment by limiting the number of passengers in each helicopter to three, ensuring each of you can enjoy a window seat with a view of Mt. Everest and its surrounding peaks.
We organize helicopter tours to the Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Langtang region, and wherever you may wish—of course, in Nepal. This breathtaking flight will certainly remain unforgettable in your memory.
Our helicopter adventure tour to the Everest Base Camp starts early in the morning at the airport in Kathmandu. After about a one-hour flight, we will land in Lukla to refill the fuel, and then we will continue our flight closer to Kongde, through the Gokyo Valley and over the Cho La Pass toward Kala Patthar and the Everest Base Camp.
After a few minutes at this viewpoint, we will fly towards the Everest Base Camp and will continue to Camp I and Camp II, situated considerably higher, but only if the wind is moderate. In strong wind, we will fly closer to Mt. Nuptse and the Chukung Valley and will stop for about an hour in the Khumjung Everest View Hotel to have a cup of coffee and breakfast. It can be one of the best breakfasts of your life, with a view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhoste, and many other peaks. Right after breakfast, we will continue our return flight to Kathmandu.
If you want to see the mountains but you do not have a lot of time and you cannot join us on the trek, the helicopter flight is the best way to take a close look at the Himalayas. It will take you on a 3- 4 hour scenic tour over the mountains with a short stop at Everest View Hotel and a short time of landing either closer to Kalapattar or Gokyo Valley for pictures.
The helicopter tour is an offer of a unique experience that you will never forget. This tour will allow you to see the scenic geological part of Nepal and the massive snow-capped peaks of the Nepal Himalaya in including the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest.
Essential Gear for a Helicopter Tour to Everest
You will be landing for pictures at Kalapattar or Gokyo Lake, and the temperature there can be closer to 0 to -10 degrees, depending on the season - spring, autumn or winter, so you need to be prepared with a warm hat, sunglasses, a warm jacket, and long slip trousers for a helicopter tour to Everest. Do not forget to have sun cream, a bottle of water, a fully charged camera or mobile for the pictures and videos of the tour.
