The helicopter trip is the shortest way to get from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp. Exploring the Everest Himalayas quickly is a wonderful alternative. The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is the best choice for travelers who don't have enough time for a lengthy trek to the Khumbu Region or who are unable to walk in the cold and high altitudes but are interested in exploring the Everest Himalayas and getting up close to the tallest mountain in the world.

Every day, a 4-5 hour helicopter ride trip departs from Kathmandu (often in the morning) and travels to Lukla. Lukla is a little, picturesque town nestled in the Himalayas. In Lukla, there is a tiny airport with a sloped runway. This airport sees a lot of regular aircraft that transport people and goods.

Following Kathmandu for refueling, you will make your first landing in Lukla. You'll arrive here in 10 to 15 minutes. While flying towards Lukla from Kathmandu, you will enjoy stunning mountain vistas of Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Sisapangma, Jugal, Gaurishankar, and Everest Himalayas with alluring sceneries, lush hills, and traditional communities. While landing in Lukla, you will also be treated to a stunning panorama of Mt. Dudhkunda and Kongde.

After refueling, you fly to Pheriche through traditional Sherpa settlements like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Pangboche, and more while admiring breathtaking mountain vistas. Five individuals take a helicopter from Kathmandu to Pheriche before dividing into two different shuttles for the landing at Kala Patthar. You will briefly touch down at Kala Patthar, where you may take pictures and get a close-up view of the world's tallest mountain. After that, you will fly above Everest Base Camp and the Khumbu Glacier.

The five tourists will take two shuttles from Pheriche before flying back to the Hotel Everest View, which is situated in a hill station and offers stunning mountain views while serving breakfast. Here, you may land in about 30 minutes, however it occasionally takes longer if the helicopter is leaving for a rescue operation.

You will return to Lukla for fuel after breakfast before taking off for Kathmandu. Individual travelers may also purchase this flight because it is a group-sharing tour, and the organizer will supervise the group. If you are traveling to Nepal on your honeymoon and just your couple enjoys flying over the mountains, you may also book this tour privately if you have four or five other travelers.
