Major Attractions Of Everest Base Camp Helicopter Landing Tour

Kala Patthar (Altitude: 5545m)

Kala Patthar is well-known among Everest Base Camp trekkers, located on the south elevation of Pumori in the Himalayas. This is the maximum altitude that most individuals can reach while trekking to Everest Base Camp without any climbing permission. At Kala Patthar, one can observe the most spectacular views of Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, and the surrounding peaks. The scenery will leave you mesmerized without a doubt. Kala Patthar is highly recommended to visit as travel experts believe the slope provides a view of the Everest summit that is unavailable from the base camp.

Khumbu Glacier (Altitude: 4900m)

With elevations ranging from 4,900 meters at its terminus to 7,600 meters at its source, the Khumbu Glacier is the world's highest glacier. Located between Mount Everest and the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge, Khumbu Glacier is one of the main attractions of the Everest region. The Khumbu Icefall of glaciers is massive and is also one of the most dangerous tasks for anyone attempting to reach the peak of Everest. However, from above, the Khumbu glacier looks spectacular, with a breathtaking aerial vista of the Himalayan range surrounding it. Thus, the EBC Helicopter trip is a realistic approach to watching the icefall without taking unnecessary risks.

Hotel Everest View, Syangboche (Altitude: 3800m)

Hotel Everest View is one of the highest hotels in the world. Takasi Miyahara envisioned the hotel in 1968 after noticing how spectacular the view of Everest from the Syangboche ridge was. Syangboche is a lovely hill in the shadow of Khumbila. It is home to the world's highest airport, from which regular helicopter shuttle and porter light services run. The magnificent landscape, particularly from the Hotel Everest View in Syangboche, provides a rich natural panorama and a soothing environment.

Tenzing Hillary Airport, Lukla (Altitude: 2845m)

Situated in Lukla Town of the Everest region, Tenzing Hillary Airport, also known as Lukla Airport, is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world. This fame goes to the short and slanting runway of just 527 m in length and 30 m in width, hanging at the edge of a hill. Lukla is a buzzing town full of hotels, restaurants, trekking service providers, trekking gear stores, and streets full of travelers from all around the globe. Lukla is called "the gateway of Everest" as it is the starting point of most treks in the region.

Detail Itinerary

Trip day to day detail itinerary

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour takes place early morning to avoid unpleasant weather circumstances that follow as the day proceeds. In 4-5 hours of this heli tour, you'll fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, explore the Everest region by landing the chopper at different locations, and fly back to Kathmandu.

Here's a detailed itinerary of the shortest Everest trip ever.

Stage 1: Transfer from hotel to Tribhuvan International Airport (6:00 – 6:30 am)

One of our team members will pick you up from the hotel in Kathmandu and take you to the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport, which is where your heli tour begins. Please make sure to get ready 10-15 minutes earlier.

Stage 2: Airport check-in, flight briefing, and boarding (6:30 – 7:00 am)

After you go through the airport formalities, the airline staff will provide you with a flight briefing along with the essential safety instructions and codes of conduct during the helicopter ride. Before boarding the flight, you get to meet the captain and have a quick introduction. Ensure all your questions or queries are addressed before boarding the helicopter to enjoy the trip to the fullest.

Note: Though the flight to Lukla typically takes off between 6:30 and 7 in the morning, the flight may be delayed, depending on the weather. Before taking off, the crew member will carefully inspect the weather conditions to ensure a smooth ride. If there is a delay or cancellation due to adverse weather, we're happy to reschedule your tour. Safety always comes first in the mountains.

Stage 3: Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (7:00 – 8:00 am)

The helicopter takes off from the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu to Hillary Tenzing Airport, also known as Lukla Airport. The flight duration is 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the weather condition.

There are stunning views to take in as you soar over Kathmandu and the foothills of the Himalayas. We fly past gorgeous Himalayan settlements, lush hills covered with green forests, and pristine mountains. The breathtaking views of mountains like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Langtang Lirung, Gauri Shankar, Ganesh Himal, Shishapangma, and Ama Dablam stand out above all others.

Stage 4: Landing and refueling at Lukla (8:00 - 8:15 am)

You will begin to experience local Sherpa culture and their unique way of life as soon as you land in Lukla. Many Sherpa porters and trek guides would be seen waiting for their customers at the airport.

Lukla Airport serves as the fueling station for our Everest Helicopter Tour. The flight's refueling process will take roughly 15 minutes. Meanwhile, you can utilize the time to observe the surroundings and the ambiance. Don't forget to take a few pictures in one of the most treacherous airports in the world.

Note: 500 kilos is the maximum passenger weight permitted between Kathmandu and Lukla. However, 250 kg is the maximum weight that can be transported from Lukla to Kala Patthar. So as to maintain an average body weight of 250 kg, we fly from Lukla to Kala Patthar in two shuttles and vice versa.

Stage 5: Fly to Kala Patthar from Lukla (8:15 – 8:30 am)

Within 15 minutes of taking off from Lukla, the helicopter will arrive at Kala Patthar. Along the way, you will see Namche Bazaar, Sagarmatha National Park, Pheriche, Tengboche, Dingboche, Gorakshep, and Everest Base Camp. The aerial view of mesmerizing glaciers, villages, monasteries, suspension bridges, and mountains will bless your eyes.

At the height of 5,644 meters sits Kala Patthar, which is the best Everest viewpoint from where you can embrace the panoramic view of Mt. Everest and the whole mountain range. Hence, Kala Patthar becomes the main attraction of this helicopter trip to Mount Everest. The vistas are incredible, even more so than at Everest Base Camp, where you won't be able to see the summit of Mt. Everest.

Stage 6: Brief sightseeing at Kala Patthar (8:30 – 8:45 am)

Mountain views don't get any better than this! Our immediate surroundings include Mt. Everest, as well as Nuptse, Lhotse, Changtse, Pumori, Chumbu, Kangtega, Taboche, and Lobuche. This is the moment we've been waiting for.

The halt at Kala Patthar is only for a short 10 minutes. Abrupt weather conditions and the fact that we are now at a height of 5,545 meters are to blame for the quick landing time. The likelihood of altitude sickness would be high if we stayed here any longer without the acclimatization. However, this is unquestionably sufficient time to appreciate the scenery and shoot some beautiful pictures.

Disclaimer: Due to the high altitude and cold, windy weather at Kala Patthar, there's a chance that the helicopter engine may not start again. So, the engine is kept on during the 10 minutes halt.

Stage 7: Fly to Everest View Hotel at Syangboche from Kala Patthar (8:45 – 9:00 am)

After taking in the breathtaking moments at Kala Patthar, you'll fly to the Everest View Hotel, one of the world's highest hotels. The magnificent view of Khumbu Glacier, Gorak Shep, monasteries, Chortens, and snow-capped Everest region peaks are visible from the air. It's a short 15-minute helicopter ride from Kala Patthar to Syangboche, where the hotel is located.

Stage 8: Breakfast at Everest View Hotel (9:00 – 9:30 am)

One could only imagine having a relishing breakfast at a luxury hotel in the remote location of the Everest region. But you're up for a treat.

After we land, we'll take the stairs to Everest View Hotel for the most magnificent breakfast to celebrate completing your dream trip. All around you are majestic mountains, such as Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam. You can hardly believe what you see as you take a sip of coffee with the glorious mountains standing tall before you. We stay here for a total of 30 minutes before returning to Lukla.

Stage 9: Fly back to Lukla for refueling (9:30 – 10:00 am)

Following a delicious breakfast at the hotel, you'll fly back to Lukla, taking in the breathtaking Himalayan vistas all over again. Nothing tops a clear bird's eye view of the majestic Himalayas. The 15-minute helicopter ride from Syangboche to Lukla is just enough for your eyes to cherish the last sight of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountains.

The aircraft will make a 15-minute stop at Lukla for refueling before finally taking off to Kathmandu. Be quick and capture some memorable pictures of you in the backdrop of Lukla Airport if you've missed it before.

Stage 10: Return flight to Kathmandu (10:00 – 11:00 am)

We fly along the Himalayas to return to Kathmandu while swooping over the lush landscapes again. With a sense of satisfaction and pleasure, we say goodbye to the majestic Mt. Everest. Our pilots will secure a safe landing for you at the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport.

It will take approximately 45 minutes to get back to Kathmandu.

Stage 11: Transfer from Kathmandu Airport to the hotel (11:00 – 11:30 am)

As you arrive at the airport, our representative will be waiting with a taxi to take you back to your hotel. This taxi ride marks the end of your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour.

FAQs

Everest Helicopter Tour with Kalapathar Landing frequently asked questions

How high does the helicopter fly during the tour?

Kala Patthar, which is at an elevation of 5545 meters, is the highest point the helicopter will take you. Hotel Everest View (3962 meters) and Lukla (2860 meters) are two more stops throughout your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour.

Does the helicopter fly over/around Mt. Everest summit?

Mt. Everest's summit is located 8,848 meters above sea level. Sub-freezing temperatures, hurricane-force winds, and air pressure are just a few variables that make operating the helicopter around Everest difficult. The air is too thin at such a high altitude, preventing most helicopters from producing enough lift to maintain flight. Hence, we cannot fly you around or over the Mt. Everest summit. But the view of the summit from Kala Patthar is so brilliant that it makes you feel close to the mountain.

Do we land at Everest Base Camp?

We usually land in Kala Patthar. Since Kala Patthar offers a panoramic view of the Everest range, which is better than the base camp itself, it is preferable to land there. You won't be able to see the Everest summit from the base camp, whereas the peak is visible from Kala Patthar. However, you'll have a good sight of the base camp from the helicopter.

What is the passenger's weight limit for the EBC helicopter ride?

The Everest Base Camp Heli Tour choppers can carry 5 passengers and a captain. The maximum passenger weight allowed between Kathmandu and Lukla is 500 kilograms. However, the maximum weight allowed from Lukla to Kala Patthar/base camp is 250 kg. So, to maintain a body weight of 250 kg on average, we operate in two shuttle flights from Lukla to Kala Patthar and vice versa.

What is the total time duration of the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour?

The entire heli tour typically takes 4-5 hours to complete. In those 4-5 hours, you'd fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, Lukla to Kala Patthar, Kala Patthar to Everest View Hotel, Everest View Hotel to Lukla, and from Lukla to Kathmandu. The total time duration mainly depends on the weather conditions. It might take longer if the weather is unfavorable.

What is the emergency procedure in case of any mishaps?

In case of any unfortunate circumstances like natural calamities, the captain will immediately rescue you from the site and land somewhere safe. For medical emergencies, the captain will fly you to the nearest hospital, where the experts will treat you.

Are oxygen cylinders available on board?

The aircraft is equipped with oxygen cylinders, and the pilots are trained to use them. There's a possibility of altitude sickness at that high in the mountains. Hence, in case of any medical emergency requiring oxygen, there's no need to worry.

Are the pilots flying the helicopter well trained?

The pilots operating the helicopter are highly qualified and well-experienced. They are among the best in Southeast Asia and have built a reputation by flying across the Himalayas for many years.

Can I take the tour as a solo traveler?

You can book a tour with us even if you're a solo traveler. However, one downside of taking the tour alone is that you can only take a tour when there's a group of 5 passengers. So, you have to be flexible with the dates. As there'd be many travelers like you during the peak season, booking a tour for a single person won't be difficult.

Can kids and the elderly join the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with landing?

Yes, the Everest Base Camp Heli Tour is entirely safe and accessible for kids, the elderly, and people with disability. It is the best way to reach the Everest Base Camp for those who are unable to go on a 2 weeks trek.

Is breakfast provided during the heli tour?

You may enjoy a delicious breakfast at Everest View Hotel during the stoppage. Sipping your morning coffee at 3962 meters while taking in the stunning vistas of the mountains and landscape is quite an experience in itself. The hotel breakfast, however, is not billed to us. Hence, you'll have to cover the breakfast cost yourself.

Is the Everest helicopter tour affected by weather conditions?

The weather does indeed affect the helicopter tour. Our helicopter ride will be hindered by severe weather, such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, or snowfall. We will ensure that the flight only occurs when the weather is clear. Safety is our top-most priority, so the safety of our crew and you won't be compromised by any arrangements we make.

Which helicopters are used for the EBC Heli tour?

We have several helicopter models available for your visit to Everest Base Camp. Some of them are AS250 H125, AS350b3e, AS350 FX II, and BELL-Jet Ranger 206B III-9N-ALL.

Useful Information

Good to know before you travel

Best time for Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Landing

Due to its significant elevation, the Everest Region experiences frequent weather fluctuations. It's not recommended to fly during adverse weather conditions, especially when it's rainy or foggy. If we can't vividly see the mountain range and mesmerizing landscape from above, there's no point in flying.

Spring and autumn seasons are the best to embark on this thrilling Everest helicopter tour. The weather is pleasant, with clear blue skies, which makes these two seasons the crowd favorite. As a result, you'd encounter many tourists taking this heli tour during these peak seasons.

The winter season also makes a good time to take a heli ride to the Everest Base Camp if you can withstand the cold. The views are magnificent due to the fresh white snow on the mountain peaks, and there's way less traffic. Monsoon, however, is not at all recommended for the Everest Heli tour. Monsoon season is when flight delays and cancellations are most likely to happen due to unclear weather.

Keep reading to find out the detailed weather and temperature conditions in the Everest Region.

Everest Helicopter Tour in Spring Season (March, April, and May)

The spring season in Nepal, which runs from March to May, also known as a dry season, is said to be the ideal time to take a helicopter tour to the Everest region. Now that rhododendrons and other wildflowers are in full bloom, the lush green hills seem lovelier than ever.

Thanks to the clear skies in the spring, not only the hills but also the mountain views are magnificent. The mountains are covered with fresh snow from the winter, making the Heli Tour even more exciting.

The weather is ideal at this time of year, averaging a comfortable 15 to 20 degrees Celsius during the day. The temperature gradually decreases after sunset, reaching the lowest of -10 degrees Celsius at night. The days are longer during the spring, so the early morning heli ride is easily manageable.

The Everest region is busiest around this time. Hence, it is advised to book the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour in advance.

Everest Helicopter Tour in Autumn Season (September, October, and November)

In Nepal, the months of September to December make the autumn season and is another peak travel and hiking month. This Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is no exception. This time frame is renowned for its excellent blend of good weather, moderate temperatures, clear skies, and stunning landscape. Just like spring, the autumn season is wonderful for visiting the Everest Base Camp.

The temperature often ranges from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius during the day and from -10 to 5 degrees Celsius at night. Remember to wear the right sunscreen to protect your skin because the sun's UV rays are considerably stronger than you may anticipate at the Everest Base Camp.

Again, there can be a queue during the peak season of Autumn, so the earlier you book, the better.

Everest Helicopter Tour in Winter Season (December, January, and February)

Winter is also a good season for the Everest Helicopter Tour as it provides the most beautiful view of the mountains that are covered with thick layers of fresh snow. The weather is mostly clear in the morning, so our early morning helicopter ride won't be affected much.

However, it can get foggy and windy at times, and snowfall is frequent in the Everest region during winter, making it difficult to take off and land at several locations. If you opt for a winter heli tour to the Everest Base Camp, make sure you have enough mountain gears to keep you warm and an extra day to reschedule the time if the tour gets canceled due to bad weather.

The average daytime temperature is 15°C, and the overnight lows reach up to -17°C. The sights are fantastic despite the bitter cold. Many tourists select winter for their Everest Heli trip since it is less crowded.

Everest Helicopter Tour in Summer/Monsoon Season (June, July, August)

The worst time to go for the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour is, without a doubt, monsoon season comprising June, July, and August. The dark sky with continuous downpours makes the helicopter ride almost impossible to navigate.

The mornings are comparatively clearer than other times of the day, making the tour still viable with additional safety measures. The average temperature fluctuates between 17°C and 5°C during this period. It is crucial to remember that flight cancellations are more likely to occur due to bad monsoon weather. Such obstacles are inevitable in Monsoon, so avoid the season at any cost.
