Overview

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a one-day trip that will take you to the base camp of the world's highest mountain. We will land at Kala Patthar, a popular viewpoint that offers us a surreal view of Mt. Everest. We will fly high in the sky, and enjoy the surreal aerial views of verdant hills and the Himalayan mountains. The heli tour takes about an hour to reach the famous viewpoint at Kala Patthar from Kathmandu.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Trip Introduction:

The helicopter tour is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the thrill of standing on the lap of Mt. Everest without a long walk for several days. The best thing about the trip is that the trip can be completed by anyone regardless of their age. The journey allows us to enjoy breathtaking landscapes, stunning snow-capped mountains, and freedom in the Himalayas.

The Helicopter trip starts from Kathmandu Airport, moving slowly eastwards. It takes us parallel to the Himalayan range, allowing us the magnificent vistas of the mountains and peaks. We move forward with the beautiful view of Mount Ganesh, Langtang, and Shisha Pangmawith many other mountains. We will make our final preparations at Shyangboche before heading to Kalapathar. We will fly back to Kala Patthar. After spending around 30 minutes viewing Mt. Everest or conducting a special meeting, the helicopter will take us back to Kathmandu.

Notes: The helicopter landing in Everest Base Camp is subject to the weather condition of this area and the helicopter will not switch off the engine (due to altitude and cold If they switched off the helicopter, it would not start again) so we have 15-20 minutes time here for photography and videography. If the helicopter would not able to land at Everest Base Camp (5,364m), they will land at the base of Kalapatther at 5,400m instead which gives you a bigger view of Mt. Everest, and a view of Everest Base Camp below. If they land at the base of Kalapathar instead of Everest Base Camp, the helicopter will overfly to Everest Base Camp before returning back to Sangboche for breakfast.
