Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Cost
The Everest base camp helicopter tour cost of the trip is determined by the number of people in your group. If there are two members in the group, the cost will be roughly US$ 1100 per person on average. The above-mentioned price will decrease as the number of persons in the group grows. The cost of a group helicopter flight ranges from US$ 1,000 to US$ 1,200. Every shuttle has a maximum weight capacity. So, in the case of weight control, we may need to use the extra shuttle, which comes at a cost that is paid by everyone.
Weight Limit for the Helicopter Flight
The Everest Helicopter Tour uses helicopters with a maximum capacity of 500 kg. The Helicopter can carry up to five passengers, not including the pilot. The helicopter will fly directly from Lukla to the EBC if the headcount is three or less.
The maximum weight of the helicopter changes to 250 kg on average as the altitude rises above 4,000 meters. We'll land at Pheriche first to adjust the helicopter's weight for a headcount of more than 3. We'll manage the weight for a single shuttle flight in Pheriche before heading to the EBC.
MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF EVEREST BASE CAMP HELICOPTER TOUR
Kala Patthar (Altitude: 5545m)
Located on the south elevation of Pumori in the Himalayas, Kala Patthar is well-known among Everest Base Camp trekkers. , This is the maximum altitude that most individuals can reach while on Everest Base Camp Trek without any climbing permission. At Kala Patthar, the most spectacular views of Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, and the surrounding peaks can be observed. It is undoubted the scenery will leave you mesmerized. Kala Patthar is highly recommended to visit as travel experts believe the slope provides a view of the Everest summit that is not available 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 Nepal's largest glacier. The Khumbu Icefall of the glacier 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 is 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 any unnecessary risks.
Hotel Everest View, Syangboche (Altitude: 3800m)
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Hotel Everest View is the highest hotel in the world.
