Imagine soaring above the world’s highest peaks—this Scenic Mount Everest Helicopter Tour delivers just that. Designed for young adults and experienced travelers craving bucket-list experiences, you’ll take off from Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan Airport for a breathtaking aerial journey. Marvel at the grandeur of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Nuptse, and more, as the helicopter glides over the legendary Himalayas.
Not just a flyover, this tour lands at Pheriche and the renowned Everest View Hotel, where you’ll enjoy breakfast surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas. The experience includes captivating views of Kathmandu’s palaces and temples from the sky, providing a unique cultural perspective before your mountain adventure begins.
With a modern AS 350 B3E helicopter and a capacity of 6 passengers, this half-day trip is ideal for those seeking the thrill of Everest without a strenuous trek. The standout feature is the up-close, unobstructed view of Everest and neighboring giants, making it a once-in-a-lifetime sightseeing tour for avid adventurers and luxury travelers alike.
I am happy I finally choose the helicopter experience as it is a lot of money, but finally worth it!! The experience to fly to the Everest area was “wow” and the views were amazing. To see the Himalaya range so close is great and the air time in the helicopter from start to finish is great too, the pilot was amazing too, he did tell a lot of stories about the area and the mountain tops we saw left and right. The only downside is that with 5 people on board, you need to be lucky to sit in front for the highest leg of the flight, around the Everest. Experience it in person is better than all the picture afterwards, great memory of my stay in Nepal.
An unforgettable morning close to the mighty Himalayas. Can't beat a helicopter for this kind of stuff.
Amazing and awesome experience flying to the Everest. Everything easy and convenient
The overall experience was superb. Seeing Everest so close in such a short time was spectacular. The process is still a bit haphazard and could be smoother (more info on the route in advance, details about what to wear, slicker through the airport etc). However is was all fine and we loved it.
This April I took part in a Mt. Everest base camp tour via helicopter through this local tour agency. Everything necessary for the tour (flights, helicopter, etc.) were all reserved in advance and the program director personally picked me up from my hotel in the morning. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, the helicopter tour did not take place. Despite the poor circumstances, my tour operator was more than willing to work with me on options and pricing given the circumstances. I truly appreciated their flexibility, and would be inclined to choose them for any Nepal based tours moving forward.
