Overview

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour lets you avoid the brutal multi-day trek. Instead, you can hop on an early morning helicopter flight from Kathmandu. In just a couple of hours, you will be surrounded by majestic bird's eye views of Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, numerous glaciers, and peaks.

What's more, you can conclude the trip with a delicious breakfast at Hotel Everest View, the highest-altitude hotel in the world. The views from the balcony as you sip your coffee are highlights of their own.

    A short helicopter refueling break at Lukla will give you time to adjust to the chilly air, marking your entry into the Himalayas.
  3. 15m

    Pass by
    The flight from Pheriche to EBC is a highlight in itself. You'll pass through glaciers, snow-capped massifs, and the infamous Everest Base Camp. After getting a picturesque bird's eye view of the base camp, Kala Patthar, and surrounding massifs, you'll be flown to Hotel Everest View.

    Kala Patthar offers the best view of Everest and surrounding peaks, a lot better than the view from the base camp itself.
  5. 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Prepare to relish delicious breakfast at the highest-altitude hotel in the world. The terrace offers a sight to behold, with a spectacular view that looks like it was taken straight out of an artist's imagination.
