This Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour gives you a quick look into the famous Everest region, landing at Everest Base Camp (or Kalapathar). We think this helicopter tour of Everest is the best aerial tour in the world!
The tour starts from Kathmandu, flying east from Kathmandu towards the beautiful Sherpa village and the gateway to Everest, Lukla. After fueling in Lukla, the flight heads towards Everest Base Camp/Kalapathar. The flight goes over Tengboche, Dingboche, Gorakshep and the Khumbu glaciers to reach the base camp of Mount Everest.
This ultimate helicopter ride gives you some of the best mountain views you will ever witness. Due the extreme altitude, you will only be given a maximum of 5 minutes of landing time at base camp. On the way back, you will be allowed a longer time at Syangboche (Hotel Everest view) to take tea/coffee or breakfast. Syangboche has excellent views of Mt. Everest and its range. Finally, you will fly back to Lukla for fueling and then back to Kathmandu to end your lifetime experience of Everest by helicopter!

The timing made by this company and its guide were best for this kind of trip. Thanks to the whole team.
There is nothing like it. The majestic mountains cutting out above the clouds and the sensation of being at almost 18,000 feet. Once in a lifetime experience...
Nepal Himalayas had always been in the list of my must visit places. I did a helicopter trip forEverest base camp. The local operator organised every thing so well that overall journey is now most memorable part of my life. I am so thankful to Mr. Ram, who is now a close friend of mine, for being my guide and showing me to beautiful places. Based on my experiences, This operator is highly recommended.
