What to expect

1

Tenzing-Hillary Airport

You will fly to Tenzing Hillary Airport from Kathmandu. There you can see the world's most dangerous airport. This is the stop where your helicopter needs refueling. Thus, you can stop here for 10-15 minutes and enjoy the landing view of airplanes on the steep runway.

Duration 15 minutes
2

Pheriche

This is the second stop of the tour. If you are a group of 5, then from here you will be picked up by two helicopter shuttles. This is due to the higher altitude. From Pheriche, only 2-3 people in a single shuttle can go up to Kalapatthar and overly Everest Base Camp.

Duration 20 minutes
3

Kala Patthar

<nil>

This is the vantage point for viewing Everest up close. Sometimes, the landing is allowed in this part, and sometimes not. So, we usually say that it is an overfly trip.

Duration 15 minutes
4
Everest Base Camp

This is another iconic part of the helicopter tour. In Everest Base Camp unless there is any rescue operation, no landing is allowed. So, here as well you will be over flying. Don't get confused, from Everest Base Camp you cannot see the perfect view of Everest. This is only possible from Kalapatthar.

5

Hotel Everest View

This is the best part of this trip. While coming back from Kalapatthar you will be stopping at the Hotel Everest View. From here you can see the wider view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, and Lhotse. You can enjoy breakfast at this place with the views of these lovely mountains.

Duration 60 minutes
6
Mount Everest

This is why you book this trip. You can get the perfect glimpse of Mount Everest from Kalapatthar. Even if the landing is not allowed, you can see it up close.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
