Mount Everest

The flight takes about 45 mins, with a 10-15-min break in Lukla for refueling. After that, the helicopter goes to EBC, landing at Kalapatthar can only be conducted for 2 passengers in a sharing basis or private basis which costs extra. After the fly over all the passengers will land at Everest View Hotel for breakfast and will have 45min to one hour. In a shared helicopter, if there are 5 passengers the helicopter doesnt land at kalapatthar. In a private helicopter, if there are 2 passengers, the helicopter lands, and in the case of 5, it doesn't land. There must be either a single passenger or two passengers for the landing the helicopter at Kalapatthar and the cost can be splitted by two for landing at kalapatthar which will be a bit expensive. all the helicopters will land at everest view hotel for breakfast despite the number of passengers.

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