About this tour
The Everest Base Camp Trek return by Helicopter is a popular trek that takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.

After acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar, your journey continues to Tengboche. Tengboche is known for its beautiful Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Everest region. The trail from Tengboche to Dingboche is relatively steep but passes through beautiful rhododendron and juniper forests. After exploring Gorakshep, the next stop on your journey will be Kalapatthar, located at an altitude of 5545m. Kalapatthar is the best and most famous viewpoint in the world and offers breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other famous peaks. After spending a memorable time in Kalapatthar, you will return to Kathmandu by Helicopter.

Helicopter tours in Kathmandu, Nepal
Kathmandu is the launch point for some of the most dramatic mountain flights anywhere in the world, with routes that fly past Everest, Kala Patthar, and the wider Himalayan range.
When's the best time to fly?
October to November and March to April offer the clearest mountain visibility. The monsoon season (roughly June to September) brings cloud cover that can obscure the peaks or delay flights.
What should I bring?
Warm layers even if it's warm on the ground, since cabin temperatures drop noticeably at the altitudes these routes fly. Consider motion-sickness precautions too if you're not used to mountain flying.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Kathmandu have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
