    Understanding Occasional Delays During Helicopter Service

    As we all know, the Everest helicopter tour service is not only famous for adventure seekers but also for important roles like rescue, evacuation, and lifesaving missions. Sometimes you have to wait a few hours during your helicopter tour program.

    Generally, the helicopter flight might get delayed due to weather conditions such as high winds or low visibility, which can affect the flight schedule. The helicopter only operates if the weather and visibility are 80 to 90 percent good. If the weather is below 70%, the chances of operating the chopper are low because of the possibility of weather changes and low visibility.

    Apart from the weather, the helicopter flight gets delayed because of the priority given to rescue and evacuation missions. Helicopters often perform urgent medical evacuations or assist climbers in distress. Then you might have to wait a few hours for the work to be done.

    In these cases, you can make the most of your waiting time by either resting and waiting for the helicopter to arrive or exploring the nearby location, interacting with the locals, buying souvenirs, and taking a lot of pictures and videos.

        Perfect Weather and Breathtaking Views during Everest helicopter Tour

        I recently had an incredible experience with Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition on their Everest Helicopter Tour. In Kathmandu, the day started early with a fresh morning. After all, the sky was a mile of blue, and it was a beautiful day to fly.

        Our helicopter rode was smooth and comfortable. As we flew over the base camp, the breathtaking view of Himalayas was wonderful. Even though we were in the air, the chance to witness the highest mountain from there was amazing. I took a lot of pictures during our flyover at base camp and Khumbu glacier

        After arriving at the Hotel Everest View, I was amazed by how peaceful it all seemed. The view of Everest and surrounding peaks right in front of us was a perfect view with breakfast. They took excellent care of us, making sure we had everything from food to blankets.

        After spending an hour soaking in the views and feeling its serene vibes, we were up for our reverse journey on the helicopter. I experienced an equally breathtaking journey back, and it was a real lesson in humility for me to witness something amazing.

        Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition provided excellent service, making this journey unforgettable. I highly recommend this company to everyone. This is something that you definitely need to try while in Nepal!

        Everest Helicopter Tour with Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition

        My most recent Everest Helicopter Tour with Nepal Trek Adventure and Expedition started off a little tense. It was a cloudy morning, and I feared we wouldn't get to see very much. The team did shut us up, and rightfully so.

        The clouds gradually parted as we ascended, revealing one or two of the Himalayas' snow-capped summits. When we were able to glimpse Mount Everest through the clouds, it was one of the most bizarre experiences. I adore helicopter rides, and this one was no exception. The pilot did an excellent job of identifying glaciers, peaks, and monuments.

        The airport was on top of a hill at 3100 m, painted with a blue sky and cotton clouds, which landed me in another world known as Hotel Everest View. The air was refreshing and cool because we were high up in the mountains, which also meant that there was an awesome view. Breakfast was delicious, and there were some options for every taste preference. Nestled in there like a dream, one hour passed, with the Everest standing tall behind us.

        Believe me, the flight back was not lacking in dramatic landscapes; we were seeing Machu Picchu from other angles, as well as panoramic views of the mountains. They made some waves waking up to overcast skies, but it wound up being a dynamite day. This tour is fantastic, and a big round of applause to Nepal Trek Adventure & Expedition for making it happen so smoothly.
