A 3 to 4 hour Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour is a time-saving way to have a pleasant experience on Everest. This amazing chopper journey starts in Kathmandu. Our representative will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the airport. After almost an hour in the air, the chopper finally lands in Lukla to refuel. This thrilling excursion takes you through the beautiful Khumbu region in a helicopter for an unforgettable experience.
During this helicopter ride, you'll get a close look at the snow-capped peaks around you. The helicopter comes close to flying over the Everest Base Camp and the Khumbu glacier. The helicopter lands at Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar after a 20–25 minute flight (5,545 meters). You will see Mt. Everest, Nuptse west face, Lhotse, Khumbutse, Pumori, and Ama Dablam right in front of you.
After you enjoy this beautiful moment, you'll fly to the Everest view hotel for breakfast where you can enjoy the delicious breakfast while looking at the beautiful mountains all around you. After this, you will fly back to Kathmandu, stopping for a few minutes at Lukla to get more fuel. When you get to the airport in Kathmandu, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
Early morning, we pick-up you from your hotel and transfer you to the airport for your an unforgettable helicopter tour to Everest base camp. Your experienced pilot will take off and head east while narrating the snow-capped landscape and flying parallel to the Himalayan range.

The next step is to touch down at Kala Patthar, the site of Everest Base Camp, and spend about 10 minutes on solid ground looking up at the majestic mountain while your propeller keeps moving. From here, fly to Syangboche Airstrip – an unpaved stretch serving the village of Namche Bazaar – situated at an elevation of 12,300 feet (3,750 meters) (3,750 meters).
