The thrilling Everest Helicopter Tour begins early in the morning. A tour guide will pick you up from your hotel around 5:30 AM and accompany you to the Kathmandu International Airport. After a quick check-in and seating arrangements, the helicopter departs, heading east from Kathmandu. As you ascend, the flight offers breathtaking views of the Langtang Range, Ganesh Himal, and continues over Manaslu and Gaurishankar peaks. As you pass over the lush green hills of Jiri in Dolakha, you'll be mesmerized by the stunning scenery. The flight then lands at Lukla for a brief 10-15 minute refueling break.

After refueling in Lukla (the entry point for most treks to Everest), the helicopter continues its journey towards the Everest Base Camp. Flying over the majestic Dudh Koshi River Valley, you'll catch stunning views of Kusum Kanguru, Kwangde, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku peaks. The flight passes through Namche Bazaar, the bustling economic hub of the region, and moves on to Syanboche, Pheriche, and Gorak Shep. Along the way, the charming Tengboche village, famous for its monastery, offers a glimpse of Sherpa culture.

The pinnacle of your adventure! You'll arrive at either Everest Base Camp (5364m) or Kala Patthar, depending on weather conditions. The Everest Base Camp is nestled below the towering Khumbu Icefall, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, including Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Lobuche. If the weather is clear, you'll land at Kala Patthar, renowned as one of the best viewpoints for a 360-degree panoramic view of Mount Everest. Standing on the edge of the world, with Everest towering above, you'll experience a sense of awe and achievement.

Spend around 15 minutes at EBC or Kala Patthar to take in the breathtaking views, capture stunning photographs, and shoot videos to remember this incredible journey. Be mindful of the high altitude, as prolonged stays can cause Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Therefore, the time spent at such a high altitude is kept brief, but the memories you collect will last a lifetime.

After your exhilarating experience, the helicopter will head back to Syanboche, where you'll land at the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest hotels in the world. Here, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast while taking in more stunning views of the Everest region. The peaceful atmosphere and fresh mountain air provide the perfect opportunity to relax and reflect on your adventure.

After a restful breakfast and some final moments to soak in the views, you’ll board the helicopter for the return flight to Kathmandu. As you descend, take one last look at the majestic peaks and valleys you've just flown over, carrying with you a treasure trove of memories, photographs, and stories of your once-in-a-lifetime Everest Helicopter Tour.
