Everest Helicopter Tour in Nepal

Posted on 17 January, 2023 by Nepal Trek Adventures and Expedition Pvt. Ltd

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour departs from the domestic terminal at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. 

The plane circles the valley before landing in Lukla, the gateway to Mount Everest. 

The helicopter's aerial view reveals the dramatic landscapes, verdant rolling hills decorated with farm fields, and a backdrop of gratifying mountains. 

As we approach Lukla Airport, the flight experience becomes even more enjoyable. 

After a brief spin, the plane lands at Lukla Airport's airstrip for refueling. 

You will get your first taste of Sherpa culture during Everest base camp helicopter tour. 

The Everest region is primarily a Buddhist region, with the majority of people practicing Buddhism and related traditions.

After a brief rest and some flight procedures, we fly higher, overflying Everest before landing at Kala Patthar as requested by the client. Our daring pilots will ensure that all safety precautions have been taken and will inspect the helipad before landing at an altitude of 5450m at Kala Patthar. You'll be greeted with 360-degree panoramic views of the Nuptse-Lhotse-Lola peaks, as well as Khumbu Ice Falls, glaciers, and Mt. Pumori. You are welcome to take photos to share with your friends and family, but we recommend that our visitors stay present and enjoy the wonderful nature and surroundings.

On our way back to Kathmandu, we stop for breakfast at Hotel Everest View in Syangboche, the world's highest-altitude hotel. We'll be at Syangboche for about 20-30 minutes. After breakfast, we will return to Lukla Airport to refuel before flying back to Kathmandu.
