Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

We'll start by picking you up from your hotel first thing in the morning, and we will then head to the airbase. Here, we'll climb on board a helicopter, which will take us up close to one of the world's highest summits.

After making a quick stop to refuel at Lukla airport, we'll fly over the Khumbu Valley, the most well-known part of the Himalayas, and from here, we'll be able to spot the famous Mount Everest, as well as Mount Pumori, Mount Nuptse, and Mount Lhotse. Following 25 minutes of incredible views, we'll arrive at Pheriche, an Everest Base Camp, our much-awaited stop. You'll be able to get out and take tons of spectacular photos.

Then, we'll board the helicopter once again and set out towards the Everest View Hotel. We'll drop down to give ourselves a 360-degree view of the impressive peaks of the UNESCO-listed Sagarmatha National Park. In this picture-perfect setting, you'll have 45 minutes to enjoy breakfast (not included) or make the most of the natural landscape.

We'll finally take the helicopter back to the airbase, and from there, we'll return to your hotel in Katmandu.

Important Information

• The fee to enter the Everest National Park (Sagarmatha National Park) is not included in the price. On the day of the tour, you will have to pay 32 US dollars per person.
• Each helicopter has a maximum capacity of 5 people. As there are limited spaces, we recommend booking as soon as possible. 
• Should the flight be canceled due to adverse weather conditions, you'll be fully reimbursed for the cost of the tour.

From Phiriche, we're running two shuttles. Since each helicopter has a capacity of 5 people, we'll run two shuttles to the Kalapatthar and Everest base camp, with two passengers in the first shuttle and three passengers in the second. Then, we'll pick all the passengers up and fly to Hotel Everest for a view with breakfast.
