The helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp visits the top of the world. Mount Everest presents visitors with an incredible and awesome sight of pristine mountain peaks at close range. The world’s tallest mountain, Mt. Everest (8,848 m), is the prime attraction of the tour. Apart from the amazing view of Mt. Everest, it also gives an opportunity to get a close look at natural beauty, such as glaciers, lakes, ice falls, and a full view of the entire Himalayan range.

The helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp begins at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), flies eastwards parallel to the Himalayan range, and finally reaches a point for a spectacular view of Mt. Everest. We shall be flying close to Mt. Langtang and Jugal Himal on your flight back to Kathmandu, finally ending up with an aerial view of the entire valley. The unsurpassed beauty of Annapurna, Langtang, and the Everest range overwhelms you throughout the flight. In the comfort of our helicopter, you get to feast on the amazing aerial views of the cultural pride of Kathmandu Valley, namely the Pashupatinath temple, Swayambunath temple, Bhaktapur and Patan, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and many more cultural delights.

The aircraft will land at Lukla for a while to fill up fuel onward to Mt. Everest Base Camp, and the craft will land at Mt. EBC for five minutes to take pictures and look around. You have an amazing view of mountains, including Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Nuptse (7,861 m), Pumori (7,161 m), and many more. Khumbu Glacier view, Khumbu Icefall (which is the main trail for the Everest expedition). During the Everest Helicopter Tour, you might want to stay longer, but as you are at such a high elevation, staying longer might cause high-altitude sickness. So, we provide such a time limitation to you. Back from Everest, we will stay about 20 minutes at the Everest View Hotel in Kahumjung, having tea or coffee at the Five Star Hotel, situated at the world's highest elevation. Anyway, the flight Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour itself goes around the heart of the Himalayas; you have enough time to take pictures of the scenery.
