Description
Have you ever dreamed of soaring to Everest Base Camp by helicopter? Turn your dream into reality with this journey departing from Kathmandu. Seize the opportunity!
Helicopter Tour to Everest Base Camp
Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation, followed by a trip to the airbase. Once there, you'll board a helicopter for an unforgettable ascent up near one of the highest peaks on the planet.
After making a brief stop for refueling at Lukla airport, we will soar above the iconic Khumbu Valley, where you can spot well-known landmarks like Mount Everest, Mount Pumori, Mount Nuptse, and Mount Lhotse. Following approximately 25 minutes of breathtaking scenery, we will reach Pheriche, one of the Everest Base Camp locations, where you can exit the helicopter to capture stunning photographs.
Next, we’ll reboard the helicopter and head towards the Everest View Hotel. As we descend, take the time to relish a 360-degree view of the magnificent peaks in the UNESCO-listed Sagarmatha National Park. You will have 45 minutes to appreciate your surroundings, enjoy breakfast (not included), or simply take in the awe-inspiring landscape.
Our journey concludes with a return flight to the airbase, followed by transport back to your hotel in Kathmandu.
