Everest Helicopter Tour

Reach the Highest Viewpoint: Kala Patthar

Kala Patthar viewpoint is the highest point that you can reach if you are undertaking the trekking trail or a helicopter route. It stands at a height of 5545 meters above sea level. It offers a crystal clear, front-eye view of Mount Everest (8848.86 meters) and neighboring mountains of the Mahalangur Himalayan range from close range.

Flyover the Everest Base Camp

The trip's name is ‘Everest base camp helicopter tour’ but why does the helicopter land at Kala Patthar instead of the base camp? Here is an easy answer. The base camp of Everest lies just above the glacier, and the surface is fragile enough for continuous pick-up and drop-off.

Also, the sight of Mount Everest is less and less satisfying in some instances. So, to be on the safe side and to offer the best Himalayan sight to the travelers, the helicopter flies over the base camp. Though the aerial view is perfect.

Note: In previous days, landings were available but nowadays, landing at Kala Patthar is prohibited.

Encounter With The Remarkable Mountain Glories

Mt. Everest itself is a masterpiece and a jewel of Nepal. It is a dream mountain that every one in five people dreams of conquering. What’s better than having the view of the dream mountain from up close alongside other snow-capped mountains like Ama Dablam (6812 meters), Nuptse (7861 meters), Mt. Lhotse (8516 meters), Cho-Oyu (8188 meters), Gaurishankar (7134 meters), Makalu (8463 meters), and many more. You can view these snowy skyscraper mountains both from the landing places and during the helicopter flight.

Landing at One of The Most Dangerous Airports in The World

Lukla Airport is one of the most dangerous and highest-altitude airports in the world, at an astounding height of 2860 meters. The slippery track, encompassing green hills and clusters of settlements, pumps the adrenaline to the fullest. Similarly, it offers the first view of Mount Everest from the ground.

Breakfast at The Highest-Placed Hotel in The World

Hotel Everest View is the Guinness World Record holder as the highest-placed hotel in the world, standing at an altitude of 3880 meters above sea level. This hotel has a conceptual theme for nature and art lovers that was visualized by Takashi Miyahara and designed by a Japanese architect, Yoshinobu Kumagaya.

Since 1971, it has been the food point for Everest travelers who wish to eat while viewing the tallest mountain in the world from afar.

Looking over the full package, here are the reasons why you should go for this trip to Everest.

99% Visibility

The best months to fly for the Everest helicopter tour are March, April, May, September, October, and November. Yet, it runs in other months too, when the weather conditions are suitable. Likewise, the helicopter takes off only if the climatic situation is good enough for the pilot to see the direction and for travelers to view trip highlights, which are mountains, hills, settlement areas, terraces, farmlands, and so on.

Because of this, the visibility level for eye-traversing the all-encompassing natural beauties is 99%. 1% holdback is for the situation where you start the trip and, in the middle, the weather changes and the views remain unclear. Though it is very rare,.
