Most Common FAQs

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a mountain flight which provides jaw-dropping views of the highest mountain in the Everest region. Prioritizing customer safety, the only powerful helicopter is basically used for the tour. If the weather is not supporting to fly or technical error, there won’t be flying over. Also, for Everest Helicopter Tour only experience pilot make the flight. Likewise, for the safety purpose, we only bring three people while making a flight from Lukla to Kala Patthar. So, if there are 4-5 people in a group, we will create two separate groups from Lukla.

If you are in Nepal and only have one day to see the tallest peak Mt. Everest, then Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is worth it. The grand view of Mt. Everest is amazing and you cannot fully appreciate its grandeur until you see it from the base of the camp. This helicopter ride will add an extra thrill to your experience. You would also see the Khumbu glacier and learn an interesting fact about the Everest region from your pilot.

Kala Patthar lies in 5,555 m of the altitude above the sea level. So, landing for a long time in high altitude over 4,000 m it is riskier. If you spend more time, there is a high chance of suffering from AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness). Generally, to avoid the altitude sickness normally trekkers hike to Kala Patthar which will take around 11-12 days. Whereas Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with flight landing will take approximately 4-5 hour from Kathmandu. Also when you are landing at Kala Patthar, a pilot doesn’t off helicopter engine because of high altitude sometimes there is a problem to get restart.

Yes, of course! You can undoubtedly charter a private helicopter to the base camp of Mt. Everest. However, the price of chartering helicopter will be comparatively high than EBC Helicopter Tour.

The weather in the mountains are hard to predict, especially at higher altitude. During monsoon season, the weather is usually not clear due to cloud and fog. So, the flight might get affected. If flight are canceled or delayed due to the adverse weather conditions, we will refund your money according to our refund policies.

Review

It was really perfect

Everest Base Camp Heli Tour was perfect. It was really perfect. Everything I did from starting to ending during my trip and tour to Nepal was well managed by Mr. Bishnu and everything was in system. I highly appreciate you for giving me such a good service. Each and every penny of mine was worth it. The beauty of Himalayas, snow falling in the head of mountains, landscapes, unforgettable views was worth everything. The view of Mt. Everest that I got to see was eye catching. I wish I could live in those mountains and villages of Nepal. It was that good that it became my dream country and I want to explore more of Nepal. I felt sincerity in your way of organizing the tour/ trip. I will explore Nepal more next time with Nepal Hiking Adventure Company. I will keep in touch with you.

company is highly recommended

The Helicopter tour to Everest base camp was incredible, one left side was snow-capped Himalaya during the flight, can see the green views and many falls from the Mountain. Just very clean and green with the High mountain on the side. The way to Lukla was so much fun and amazing. After the Lukla, many pass and rivers can see the glaciers, . We flew over the base camp during the up and down. Landed nearby Everest base camp for the picture for few minutes and we took photos and videos for our memories. Such an amazing view of Mt. Everest and much another snow-capped mountain including other high mountain of this areas. We have also landed at the Lukla for fueling and the Everest View Hotel for breakfast with beautiful views of mountains. Both of those landings were just fantastic.

Service from the company is highly recommended, thank you Nepal Hiking adventure for your fantastic services.

Brilliant Tour Organizer..

We did an Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour organized by Bishnu. I would highly recommend booking with him and his company. He was really helpful, was honest on a day when the view might not be good, and helped us rearrange the flight at the airport when we were only a few minutes from going taking off. The Heli tour was great. He also helped arrange us regular flights and was helpful at changing them at the very last minute too. If we had more time we would have booked other tours with him

most fantastic time

Just completed Everest Base Camp helicopter tour with 2 other people. and had the most fantastic time. Everything ran very smoothly during the tour, and we were taken good care of in Kathmandu.

 

Due to bad weather, some of the groups were canceled but we did it by waiting 2 hours more in Kathmandu airport. because the weather was bad only in kathmandu but on the mountain tour there was very clear weather and nice views of the whole mountain. Most of the hill and mountain are covered by heavy snow. It gives us a different experience of the tour.  

Thank you to vishnu and his team for arranging this helicopter tour.Thank you for an excellent trip. Will definitely return to do the Annapurna Circuit

EVEREST BASE CAMP HELICOPTER TOUR WITH LANDING

I contacted this company through WhatsApp and they couldn't have been more helpful through every stage of the process. They were always very quick getting back to me with a reply. I prebooked and left a deposit about 10 days before the date of the trip. Come the actual day of the tour, the hotel pickup was a few minutes late, but nothing to worry about, I made it to the airport in plenty of time.

The pilot's name was Stefan, he was extremely professional and left all the passengers with the feeling that we were in safe and capable hands. We were very fortunate with the weather, a beautiful clear, blue sky day. Landing at Kallapattar was astonishing, we were treated to the best possible views of Everest, both from there and from the Everest View Hotel. We actually had a little longer at the hotel than is usual because our pilot was called off to a rescue operation from there just as we landed!

I had never been in a helicopter before so this was a doubly exciting experience for me. To see the Himalayas like this is a once in a lifetime experience and I can't recommend it enough - if you are in any doubt, I urge you to go for it and to use this company, you won't regret it

Jo Dark,
