The Everest Helicopter Tour takes you in the glacial rivers, and as you ascend far into the Himalayas, you can see the ancient Sherpa trails from a heavenly viewpoint.

Land at Kala Patthar (5,545 m), the renowned vantage point, and stand in the shadow of giants.For ten breathtaking minutes, you witness the full force of Mount Everest. The silence is profound, and the scale is humbling.

Breakfast at Everest View Hotel for a hot beverage. Gaze out the window at the very peak you were just below—a surreal combination of cozy luxury and pure nature.

A Documentary on Culture from Above:See the vibrant center of Namche Bazaar and the renowned Tengboche Monastery, both of which cling to the sides of mountains, to get a glimpse of the complex fabric of Sherpa life.

The Ultimate Shortcut: Reduce a two-week trip into a single, magnificent morning. It is intended for people who have the desire to touch the roof of the world but lack the necessary time or endurance.

You'll return to Kathmandu by lunchtime, but a part of you will always be there, amidst those lofty, sacred peaks. It's more of an experience that sticks to your heart than a tour.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter The ride journey is a whisper from the top of the world, an invitation to touch the sky without the grueling weeks of a trek. It begins at dawn in Kathmandu, a city still shaking off its sleep, as you climb into a machine that will become your chariot. The hum of the rotor blades becomes a meditation as the city falls away, giving rise to terraced farms and winding rivers that look like veins on the skin of the earth. Then, the foothills begin to swell, and the world outside your window transforms into a breathtaking IMAX film of the highest order. You’re not just looking at the Himalayas; you’re flying amongst them, your breath catching as you glide past the icy, silent faces of Ama Dablam and Lhotse, feeling both incredibly powerful and beautifully small.

During the Everest Helicopter Flight At 5,545 meters, you step out into the thin, sacred air as your pilot finds a spot to land on the rocky perch of Kala Patthar, and the crescendo begins. The crunch of your boots on the ice and the overwhelming presence of Everest itself—not a photograph, not a dream, but a massive, silent monarch of rock and ice standing directly in front of you—take over the world for ten heart-stopping minutes. You are now a part of the legend as the cold bites your cheeks and the silence is deafening. Then, as abruptly, you descend to the Everest View Hotel's warmth, where you drink a hot cup of coffee while your hands continue to shake a little. Try to make sense of the cozy comfort and the raw power you just saw as you gaze back at the peak from a balcony. With a lifetime of experience crammed into one morning, you return to Kathmandu by lunchtime, carrying with you the awe and profound humility that come only from being in a god's shadow.

But here's another twist. This isn't just a helicopter tour of Everest base camp; it's a rare opportunity. Nepal only has about 13 helicopters that run these Himalayan tours, so every day only 60 to 65 lucky people can go on this famous trip. This means that even though more than 30,000 tourists truly want to go on the tour, only a few will be lucky. The fact that the Mt. Everest Base Camp helicopter tour package is so limited makes it even more appealing. Many people want to take the chance to fly over the beautiful peaks of the Everest area.

The Mount Everest Helicopter Tour is a unique and exclusive experience that you won't want to miss, as there are only a few helicopters available for this trip! With breathtaking aerial views all along the way, you will fly over towering peaks like Mount Everest, Nuptse, Makalu, and many other well-known mountains in the area.

The best seasons to take the Everest base camp heli tour are spring and fall. There is a 99% chance of seeing Everest and the surrounding peaks in clear weather during these seasons. Booking your trip during the season also reduces the likelihood of weather-related delays and cancellations.

Mount Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu

The most popular heli tour package in Nepal is the one that includes a flight to EBC from Kathmandu. Typically, the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu is where the helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp starts. You'll see the surrounding hills and the environment transform as you rise out of the valley. You must arrive at the Kathmandu airport for boarding and flight scheduling at least 30 minutes prior to departure. The areas of Thamel, Boudha, Swyambhu, and Bhaktapur are close to the Kathmandu airport.

Mount Everest Base Camp Heli Tour from Lukla (Add-on)

The busiest airport in Nepal is Lukla, formally known as Tenzing Hillary Airport in Solukhumbu. By air, Kathmandu and the Everest area are connected. Flying to Lukla takes approximately 45 minutes. From Lukla, a helicopter flight to Everest is possible.The flight time in a helicopter to reach Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Valley will be roughly an hour. You save money and time this way. Fly to Lukla on a normal aircraft, then board a helicopter from the airport there if you want to save money. Your helicopter trip will be much less expensive if you split the fee with five other people.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Flight with Overfly Kalapathar and Hotel Everest View Landing (for 1-5 Passengers)

This is due to a recently implemented rule that permits only four landings outside of the airport. We plan group-sharing helicopter rides to Everest base camp  that don't stop at Kalapathar or EBC. In order to redistribute the aircraft's overall weight, we will strategically land at Pheriche. After that, you'll take in a stunning flight over Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp before arriving at the esteemed Hotel Everest View. You'll have an hour to enjoy a delectable breakfast while taking in the breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Everest.

The 2023 Landing Regulation Change (CRITICAL UPDATE):

What Changed: All tourist landings at Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp (EBC) were permanently prohibited by the Nepali government.
Why: To protect the environment, ensure safety because of the high altitude and weather, and maintain the integrity of the trek.
Present Tours: Operators now provide flightseeing with a hover for pictures close to EBC and then a safe landing for refreshments at Syangboche (3,800 m).
Key Takeaway: It is illegal for any operator to continue advertising a guaranteed landing at EBC itself. The hover + Syangboche landing model is now used by all respectable tours.

CRITICAL Advice for Travelers regarding Everest Base camp Helicopter Tour (2024 & Beyond)

  • Be wary of operators who are dishonest or outdated: A tour operator or agent is advertising an illegal service if they explicitly promise a "landing at Everest Base Camp" on their website. This is a severe red flag.
  • Know What You're Booking: You're planning a fantastic flightseeing experience that involves a high-altitude hover and a landing at Syangboche. Adjust your expectations appropriately. Even now, it remains a memorable event.
  • Before making a reservation, ask the operator directly, "Do you guarantee a landing at the Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) site itself?" The current rules will be explained in detail by a trustworthy operator.

In summary: The era of landing a helicopter at Everest Base Camp for a tourist photo op is over. The new regulations prioritize safety, environment, and cultural integrity. While the experience is different, the awe-inspiring aerial views of the top of the world remain fully accessible and are highly recommended. Yet, for those who dream of standing in the thin, sacred air of the world's rooftop, a precise and privileged window remains. With unmatched expertise and an intimate knowledge of the Himalayan spring, Heli on Call defies the odds. When the skies achieve their most brilliant clarity between March and May, we deliver on an astonishing promise: a 99% success rate for landing on the legendary Kala Patthar. The path to the peak is now more exclusive, but for the chosen few, it is almost guaranteed. This is your moment to claim it.

Mount Everest Helicopter Landing (New Update):

Your helicopter tour will no longer land at Kala Patthar. Instead, it will land at one of two government-approved alternative landing sites, both at a lower, safer altitude. The specific site is often at the pilot's discretion based on weather and traffic.

Key Considerations Under the New Rules:

Aspect Details Under 2023 Regulations
Cost The experience remains a premium one. ~$1,100 - $1,800 per person for a shared tour.
The "Landing" The landing is now at Syangboche (3,780 m), not Kala Patthar. This is the most critical point to understand.
Permits You still need to fly with an operator who has secured the necessary Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and Local Government Permit for the flight. Reputable operators take care of this.
Environmental Tax A portion of the cost goes towards conservation efforts in the region, aligning with the goals of the new regulations.
Booking More crucial than ever. You must book with a reputable and licensed aviation company (e.g., Simrik Air, Fishtail Air, Mountain Helicopters) that strictly adheres to CAAN regulations. Unscrupulous operators might promise old itineraries that are no longer legal.
Who Can Land at EBC/Kala Patthar?

Exceptions are made only for:

• Rescue Missions (by operators like Simrik Air / Fishtail Air dedicated to rescue).

• Government-Approved Scientific Expeditions.

• Logistical support for climbing expeditions (ferrying supplies to Base Camp at the start and end of the season under special permits).

General tourists cannot land there.

There is still a precise and exclusive window for those who aspire to stand in the thin, sacred air of the world's rooftop. Heli on Call defies the odds with unparalleled expertise and a profound understanding of the Himalayan spring. From March to May, during the clearest skies, we deliver an incredible promise: a 99% landing rate on the fabled Kala Patthar. Although it is now more difficult to reach the top, it is nearly certain for the select few. Now is your time to seize it.

Helicopter Models Used in Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour  

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is one of the most thrilling and luxurious ways to experience the majestic Himalayas. Instead of trekking for two weeks, travelers can enjoy a breathtaking helicopter ride to Everest in just a few hours. But what makes these flights possible at such extreme altitudes? The answer lies in the specialized helicopter models used for high-altitude operations in Nepal.  

Helicopters flying to Everest Base Camp must be engineered to handle thin air, unpredictable weather, and challenging terrain. Only a few world-class models are capable of safely operating at altitudes above 14,000 – 23,000 ft, making them the top choice for tourism, rescue, and VIP charters. Below are the most popular helicopter models for Everest Base Camp tours.

Itinerary

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Itinerary - Detailed Flight Schedule from Kathmandu

You can get from Kathmandu to Lukla in 45 minutes with the Everest Helicopter Tour with landing at Pheriche, and then to Kala Patthar or the Everest Base Camp in 25 minutes. After spending nearly five minutes on the ground at the world's highest peak's base camp, you take a picturesque flight back to Kathmandu. The trip will only take four to five hours to complete.

Phase 1: Drive to Tribhuvan International Airport domestic terminal: Start of the Tour

The helicopter tour to the Everest Base Camp begins early in the morning (5:30 AM) as we pick you up from your hotel or designated meeting point and drive to the Tribhuvan International Airport domestic terminal.

Phase 2: Brief of safety measures and instruction guidelines and boarding on the flight:

The flight instructor will provide a briefing on flight safety procedures and guidelines prior to boarding a flight. Following the briefing, you will meet your pilot and board the helicopter.

Phase 3: Flight to Lukla:

Following seating arrangements, we will depart for the east of the Kathmandu Valley, where you will be able to take in the breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks ranging from the Langtang range and Ganesh Himal to Manaslu and Gaurishankar peaks. We will make our first stop at Lukla shortly after passing the verdant hills surrounding Jiri in Dolakha. Aerial views of Sherpa villages, monasteries, lakes, rivers, and picturesque valleys and hills will also be available to you.

Phase 4: Land at Lukla:

The majority of treks, tours, and expeditions in the Everest region begin at Lukla (2,820 m) and Tenzing Hillary Airport. Defueling our helicopter will take roughly ten to fifteen minutes. You can take in the mountain views and scenic beauty in the interim.

Phase 5: Fly from Lukla to Pheriche landing and Overfly Kalapatthar (5,644.5 m /18,519 ft.)

The Everest Helicopter Flight takes off after refueling and continues to fly over the valley of the Dudh Koshi River in the direction of Namche Bazaar. The largest town in the area, Namche serves as the Everest Region's economic center. Since most visitors must pass through Namche in order to enter the Khumbu region, it is known as the gateway to Khumbu. We can see the Langtang Lirung (7,234m), Ganesh Himal (7,429m), Gauri Shankar Himal (7,134m), Shishapangma (8,013m), Gyachung Kang (7,952m), Pumori (7,161m), Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,855m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), Kwangde, Kusum Kanguru, Thamserku, and other magnificent peaks in the area while flying over this well-known Sherpa settlement.The flight continues over notable villages like Syangboche, Tengboche (home to the Tengboche Monastery), Pheriche, and Gorak Shep (final settlement going forward) to the Everest Base Camp.

Phase 6: Land at the Pheriche (4,371 m.)

To balance the weight, the helicopter lands at the Pheriche, the highest point at 4371 meters. Flying over the Everest Base Camp (5,380m) is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that many people long to have. You will receive window seats for a maximum of three people. The base camp is encircled by some of the world's highest peaks, such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Lobuche, and many more, and is situated beneath the infamous Khumbu ice-fall.

We fly over the Kala Patthar, which is one of the best vantage points in the Khumbu region and an even better place to see the scenery. In contrast to the base camp, where the Lhotse Nuptse wall largely obscures the view of Everest, Kala Patthar provides a 360-degree view of the mountain, the majority of the area, and its numerous breathtaking peaks.

Phase 7: Fly to the sacred mountain of  Kalapatthar (5,545 m).

No matter where you go, you will have about ten minutes to take in the breathtaking surroundings. Be sure to take a memorable picture of these moments. However, we advise you to appreciate the scenic beauty of nature and be totally present at the moment. Since AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) is a possibility at such a high elevation (5,380 m), we will have to depart as soon as possible. We will depart from the Everest Base Camp after about fifteen minutes.

Phase 8: Everest View Hotel at Syangboche

Following the amazing experience of flying over Kalapatthar and Everest Base Camp, we will land in Pheriche to collect all of the passengers and proceed to the Everest View Hotel in Syangboche for breakfast. You can enjoy some delectable food at this well-known hotel in addition to a fantastic up-close view of Everest!

    Useful Information

    Travel Insurance for Your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Landing

    First of all, we do sell travel packages. Our package does not include travel insurance for your helicopter tour. But it gives peace of mind and financial security if things do not go as planned. Here's why you should get travel insurance for your helicopter ride to Mount Everest.

    Coverage for Medical Emergencies During the Everest Landing Helicopter Tour

    High altitude can bring on acute mountain sickness (AMS), requiring medical attention or evacuation. Insurance helps cover medical expenses, including hospitalization and potential helicopter rescue if needed. Accidents are rare but possible, and insurance ensures coverage for emergency treatment and associated costs.

    Trip Cancellation and Interruption during Everest Helicopter Tour

    Unforeseen events like bad weather, political unrest, or personal illness can force you to cancel or interrupt your trip. Insurance compensates for non-refundable expenses like flights, accommodation, and tour bookings.

    Choosing the Right Plan for Everest Helicopter Trip

    Coverage level: Compare plans with different coverage levels for medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other benefits to choose one that fits your budget and risk tolerance.

    Altitude coverage: Ensure your plan specifically covers medical expenses related to AMS and high-altitude activities.

    Destination and activity specifics: Choose a plan that covers helicopter tours and activities planned during your trip.

    Read the fine print: Carefully review the exclusions and limitations before purchasing insurance.

    Preparation for Everest Base Camp Heli Tour

    With proper preparation and a sense of adventure, your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour will be an experience etched in your memory forever. So, pack your bags, embrace the thrill, and prepare to be awestruck by the majesty of the Himalayas!

    Physical Fitness for Everest Helicopter Tour

    • While trekking isn't involved, the helicopter ride ascends rapidly to high altitudes. Ensure you're in good physical health with strong breathing and cardiovascular systems.
    • Consider consulting your doctor, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or haven't been active lately.

    The acclimatization process for Everest Helicopter Tour

    • To prevent altitude sickness, spend a few days in Kathmandu (1,400m) or even lower villages before the tour. This allows your body to adjust to the thinner air.
    • Avoid strenuous activity, stay hydrated, and rest well during this period.

    Essential Gear for Everest Helicopter Tour

    • Pack warm and layered clothing, including windproof and waterproof outerwear. Temperatures can drop drastically at high altitudes.
    • Comfortable hiking boots are recommended for walking around Lukla or any landing points.
    • Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are crucial to protecting yourself from the strong sun.
    • Don't forget a camera with sufficient battery and memory to capture those breathtaking views!

    Essential Documentation for Everest Helicopter Tour

    • Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your arrival date in Nepal.
    • Obtain the necessary permits.

    Altitude Sickness Awareness

    • Be familiar with the symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS), like headaches, dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath.
    • Pack medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to manage headaches.
    • Inform your pilot or tour guide immediately if you experience any symptoms. Descend to a lower altitude as soon as possible.

    Other Tips

    • Bring some cash for additional expenses like airport taxes or tips.
    • Pack light snacks and water to keep yourself hydrated during the trip.
    • Respect local customs and traditions while interacting with the Sherpa people.
    • Be mindful of the fragile environment and minimize your impact on the Himalayas.

    Currencies required for Everest Camp Helicopter Tour

    For an Everest Camp Helicopter Tour, it's essential to be aware of the accepted currencies and payment methods. The primary currency widely accepted in Nepal is the Nepalese rupee (NPR). Therefore, it is recommended to carry Nepalese rupees for various expenses during your trip, such as local purchases, meals, and additional costs. While major currencies like the US Dollar and Euro may be accepted in some places, it's advisable to exchange a portion of your money for Nepalese rupees for convenience. Additionally, credit cards may be accepted in some urban areas, but it's crucial to have sufficient cash, especially in remote regions like Everest Base Camp, where access to banking facilities may be limited.

    Packing List for Your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

    As you gear up for your exhilarating helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp, ensuring the right clothing and essentials is key to tackling the high-altitude environment and maximizing your enjoyment. Here's a comprehensive packing list to guide you:

    Safety Tips for Everest Base Camp Helicopter Flight

    When preparing for a helicopter journey, it is crucial to adhere to a set of safety guidelines to ensure a secure and smooth experience. Before takeoff, it is advised to either activate airplane mode on your phone or switch it off entirely. As you approach and depart from the helicopter, maintaining a safe distance is paramount. Keep a low profile, refraining from raising your arms and avoiding the pursuit of stray objects. Following the pilot's instructions diligently is imperative for the overall safety of the flight.

    Once aboard, exercise caution outside the helicopter by refraining from extending any part of your body or gadgets, and avoiding interference with the flying controls. Resist the urge to wander about the plane and await directions for disembarkation from ground personnel. Only release your seatbelt when instructed by either the captain or the ground crew. When walking beneath whirling blades, it is essential to keep your head and arms down for added safety.

    Maintain your assigned location until directed otherwise by ground personnel, ensuring a disciplined and organized exit from the aircraft. The final step involves proceeding to the helicase under the guidance of the ground crew, completing a comprehensive adherence to safety measures throughout the helicopter journey.

    Best Season For Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

    As long as the weather is clear, the Everest camp is ideal throughout the entire year. It is a necessary condition because it must be ideal for appropriate aerial experiences. Additionally, during the spring and fall months, the climate in the Everest zone is moderate, and the weather is ideal. As a result, both seasons are perfect for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour.

    Spring (Pre-Monsoon: March to May)

    Imagine flying into a world that is just waking up. The valleys below you aren't just rocky and grey; they are brushed with the faintest green of new grasses and, as the season progresses, dotted with the most incredible, resilient wildflowers—bright magenta rhododendron blooms painting the hillsides. The air is clear and fresh after the winter, offering those famous crystal-clean views of the mountains. The giants themselves, Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam, are still heavily draped in brilliant white snow from the winter, making them look especially dramatic against the deep blue sky. The trails below are lively with the first big waves of trekkers, looking like colorful ants on a mission. It’s a season of vibrant energy, renewal, and arguably the most stunning color palette of the year.

    Autumn (Post-Monsoon: Late September to November)

    Picture the Himalayas at their most classic and regal. The monsoon rains have washed the entire sky clean, leaving behind air so transparent it feels like you can see every detail of the rock and ice from miles away. This is the season of breathtaking, razor-sharp clarity. The landscapes feel vast and open. The fields of the lower villages are a flurry of activity as the summer's lush greens have turned to warm browns and golden yellows. With less fresh snow than in the spring, the mountain peaks are still fully visible, showcasing more of their recognizable, craggy grey rock faces. The days are bright and clear, the weather is consistent, and the atmosphere is alive with the vitality of the main trekking season. The mountains appear to be proudly displaying themselves to their visitors.

    Winter (December to February)

    Think of a landscape in deep, silent hibernation. The world you fly over is profoundly stark and beautiful in a completely different way. You get a genuine sense of isolated, unspoiled wilderness because the temperatures are bitterly cold and the tourist trails are nearly deserted. The whole area is white, grey, and brilliant blue, and the valleys are frequently covered in snow. With their icy summits shining in the low winter sun, the mountains are breathtakingly majestic.  Even though the air can be extremely clear, the cold is a powerful force. It’s a more severe, minimalist, and solitary experience—perfect for those seeking the purest, most dramatic form of Himalayan beauty, provided you can bundle up against the chill.

    Summer (Monsoon: June to August)

    Now, imagine a moodier, softer version of the Himalayas. This season is a gamble. The valleys are explosively green and lush, with clouds often snagging on the lower mountain passes. With dramatic clouds framing the peaks, the views can be breathtaking when the weather breaks. But be prepared for the frequent fog and rain, which can make it hard to see the very views you came for.   In a never-ending game of peek-a-boo, the mountains hide and reveal themselves behind swirling mists. It seems more mysterious and intimate.   Views are not guaranteed during this season, but when you catch a fleeting glimpse of a peak through the clouds and take in the lush, rain-soaked landscape, it can still feel like a secret.

    No matter when you choose to go, the Himalayas have a unique character to offer. Your season will decide which version of its grand, soul-stirring personality you get to meet.

    Is the Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp safe?

    Helicopter tours are the most convenient way to reach the base camp of the world's highest peak, standing at a height of 8848.8 meters. Helicopter flights to the Everest region are completely safe. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the weather during some seasons, it gets risky. A helicopter flight to the base of Mount Everest gives you a pleasant way to experience the aerial view of the diverse landscape of Nepal. The best season for the Everest base camp is spring, which lasts from March until May when the sky is clear and the weather is pleasant, followed by autumn, which is also the festive season in Nepal, where two big and important festivals fall, which are Dashain and Tihar. This season, you will be able to experience the wide range of culture and traditions of Nepal with your Everest base camp helicopter tour. Summer and winter are comparatively riskier than spring and autumn because of the weather conditions. Summer comes with monsoons, which result in heavy rainfall that makes it difficult for helicopters to operate, and winter brings storms and foggy skies, which decrease the visibility in the flight. However, flights are possible on clear days.

    Age limit for Everest Base Camp helicopter tour

    Officially, there is no minimum or maximum age limit for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. This means that, in theory, anyone can participate, regardless of their age. However, there are several factors to consider before deciding if this Everest Base Camp Heli Tour is suitable for you, especially at the extremes of the age spectrum:

    Considerations for younger children EBC Heli Tour

    Altitude sickness: Children under 3 years old are generally not recommended for high-altitude travel due to their increased susceptibility to acute mountain sickness (AMS).

    Physical endurance: The helicopter ride and any walking around landing points may be tiring for young children.

    Interest and understanding: Younger children may not fully appreciate the significance of the experience and may find the long journey tiresome.

    Considerations for Older Adults for EBC Heli Tour

    Health conditions: Pre-existing medical conditions, especially those concerning the heart, lungs, or circulatory system, can increase the risk of AMS at high altitudes. Consult with your doctor before doing this helicopter tour.

    Physical fitness: While helicopter travel doesn't involve trekking, some walking around landing points might be challenging for older adults. Ensure you are physically fit enough to handle the journey comfortably.

    Balance and mobility: Ensure you have good balance and mobility to navigate potentially uneven terrain around landing points.

    Accommodation for Everest Base Camp Heli Day Tour (Add-on)

    The Everest base camp helicopter tour is a day trip, but if you choose to improve your experience by adding accommodation options before or after your tour, Below are some suggestions for accommodations for you to consider.

    Kathmandu Accommodation

    Before or after the tour, you can stay in Kathmandu and enjoy the beauty of the valley. You can even go sightseeing to historical and cultural monuments like Boudha, Pashupatinath temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, and Bhaktapur Durbar 

    Kathmandu offers you various types of hotels in different price ranges. From low- to high-range hotels, Kathmandu offers you everything. If you want a luxury stay you can go to 5-star hotels like the Hyatt Regency, Dwarika’s Hotel, Hotel Radisson, and Soaltee Hotel. There are numerous options for you to stay in Kathmandu.

    Lukla Accommodation

    If you choose to add the Lukla departure option, you might consider staying in Lukla the night before or after the tour. Lukla offers limited but comfortable lodging options like Hotel Everest View Lukla and Yeti Mountain Home, which are among the best and most famous options to stay in Lukla

    Namche Bazar Accommodation

    Namche Bazar is a picturesque sherpa village in the Everest region where you can enjoy the traditions and culture of the people living in the village. Since Lukla is a remote village situated at a high altitude, there are limited options for hotels and among them, Hotel Everest View, Hotel Sherpaland, and Namche Bazaar are among the best and most luxurious places to stay. Namche Bazar also offers various other budget-friendly hotels.

    Syangboche Accommodation

    If you wish to extend your time at the Everest View Hotel, consider staying overnight in Syangboche, where you will be spending your night in a very luxurious hotel recognized as the highest altitude hotel in the world with rooms that show the best view of Mount Everest in the morning.

    The Weight Limit For Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

    A helicopter tour to Everest base camp can fly with five passengers and one captain. The passenger weight limit changes as we go. 500kg is an ideal weight for Lukla, whereas for Kalapathar or the Everest Base Camp, the ideal weight is 250 kg. The weight limit may also change a little bit depending on the types of helicopters used for helicopter tours in Nepal.

    Internet and phone access on Everest Base Camp helicopter tour

    While on an Everest Base Camp helicopter tour, it's important to note that internet and phone access can be limited, especially in remote areas. Here are some key points to consider:

    Limited Connectivity: The Everest region, including Everest Base Camp, is known for its challenging hilly regions and high altitudes. As a result, connectivity can be unreliable or non-existent in certain areas.

    Local SIM Cards: In Kathmandu and some larger towns, you can purchase a local SIM card for your phone. While this can provide some connectivity, coverage may still be limited in more remote areas.

    Wi-Fi in Teahouses: In certain locations along the trekking route, teahouses (lodges) may offer Wi-Fi for a fee. However, the speed and reliability of these connections can vary, and they may not be available at higher altitudes.

    Communication at Everest Base Camp: Everest Base Camp itself may have limited or no network coverage. Communication infrastructure is often set up temporarily during climbing seasons for expedition teams, but it may not be accessible for general use.

    Altitude sickness during Helicopter ride to Mount Everest

    While Mount Everest helicopter trips offer an incredible way to see Everest Base Camp, there is still a danger of altitude sickness, sometimes known as acute mountain sickness (AMS).

    Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:

    Why does it happen?

    At higher altitudes, the air thins out, reducing the amount of oxygen available. Your body needs time to adjust to this lower-oxygen environment. During a helicopter ride, even though you ascend quickly, you're still exposed to lower oxygen levels, and symptoms of AMS can occur.

    What are the symptoms?

    • Headache (the most common symptom)
    • Dizziness
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Fatigue and weakness
    • Loss of appetite
    • Difficulty sleeping
    • Rapid heartbeat
    • Shortness of breath

    How can you prevent it?

    • Acclimatize: Spend a few days in Kathmandu or a lower-altitude village before your helicopter tour to allow your body to adjust to the thinner air.
    • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you and worsen symptoms.
    • Pace yourself: Avoid overexertion, even when walking around Kathmandu.
    • Medications: Consider taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen for headaches, and consult your doctor about prescription medication if you have a history of AMS or are at high risk.

    What should you do if you experience symptoms?

    • Ask your captain to descend to a lower altitude as soon as possible. Even a small drop in elevation can make a big difference.
    • Rest and avoid strenuous activity.
    • Stay hydrated, and continue to avoid alcohol and caffeine.
    • If symptoms are severe or worsen, seek medical attention or use supplementary oxygen, which is inside the helicopter. You can also use it to reduce your breathing challenges.

    Remember

    Taking precautions and understanding the risks can help ensure a safe and enjoyable Everest Base Camp helicopter tour landing experience, even at high altitudes. Don't let the fear of AMS deter you from this incredible adventure!
