For those with limited time and those not wanting to take the grueling trek to Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar, but still wish to reach the Everest region or touch the Everest Base Camp Accessible Adventure’s Everest Heli Tour is perfect. The Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour starts early in the morning from Kathmandu valley where we depart aboard a helicopter from the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport. The helicopter travels in a circle over the valley before finally making its way to Lukla, which is considered to be the entrance to Mount Everest. The aerial view from the helicopter exposes the stunning sceneries, which consist of beautiful undulating hills ornamented with farm fields and are set against the backdrop of magnificent mountains. During the flight, you will be presented with a map that highlights the mountains that can be viewed from the view, and you will also receive information regarding the mountains that are visible from the view. The mountain flight will not only present you with stunning panoramas, but it will also help you better understand Nepal's topography.
As we near the Lukla Airport, the flight experience becomes much more invigorating. We stop here in order to refuel. This is where you will catch your very first sight of Sherpa culture. The Everest region’s population mostly practices Buddhism which you will be able to get a glimpse of. Following a restful break at Lukla, we climb higher and fly over Mount Everest before descending to either Kala Patthar or the Everest Base Camp. During the Spring season in March-April, it is possible to land directly in Everest Base Camp, however, during other seasons the landing will be in Kalapatthar. As we land on the most famous viewpoints in the Everest Himalaya you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Nuptse, Lhotse, Everest, Ama Dablam well as numerous glaciers including the Khumbu Ice Fall.
We have breakfast at the Hotel Everest View in Syangboche, which is the highest-altitude hotel in the world, before continuing on our journey back to Kathmandu.

The Everest area is, as one might assume, chilly all year. It is very crucial to pack appropriately for the Everest Base Camp Heli Tour. It is vital to pack appropriately due to the high-intensity UV radiation at high altitudes. Here is a packing list for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour that includes all of the necessary/recommended equipment:
It should be noted that the above gears will be enough since carrying too much weight increase the weight. We recommend taking only the necessary clothing.
The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Trip with Landing is widely regarded as the greatest helicopter tour available, and it can be accomplished in a matter of hours. The journey from Kathmandu to the base camp takes between 3 and 3.5 hours. The journey begins and concludes in Kathmandu. There are, however, various checkpoints for performing flying procedures. Because we are leaving early in the morning, we will have breakfast at the Everest View Hotel, the highest hotel in the world at 3,880 meters. Furthermore, the flight continues to Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar to witness the spectacular mountain range up close.
The Everest Region is located at a high altitude, and the weather varies often. However, because our journey only involves a few hours of flying time, this should not prevent us from witnessing the beauties of the Himalayas in Nepal. However, the flight cannot be completed when it is cloudy or rainy. It's pointless to fly if we can't see the mountain range and distinctive aerial view of diverse terrain.
If we had to select a season, spring and fall would be ideal for an unforgettable journey to the Everest area. The weather is mostly clear and bright during these seasons. There is a lower chance of rain, and humidity is low. During the winter, the layer of snow accumulates, emphasizing the grandeur of the mountains. If you are unable to go in the spring, winter may be an option. However, helicopter trips are not recommended throughout the summer. It is pouring severely, and the weather is unpredictably changing. Let's take a closer look at the weather patterns of the seasons.
Accessible Adventure would never, ever choose a dangerous time for a helicopter trip. Our professionals examine the weather conditions ahead of time to ensure a safe and secure journey to Nepal's Everest Base Camp.
Season of Spring
The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Landing is highly recommended during the spring season. The weather in the Everest region is pleasant and clear. Beautiful scenery and Rhododendron blooms may be seen throughout the woodland. The temperature is pleasant during the day but can drop to -10°C at night. However, because the spring season is popular for heli tours, you may have to wait in line. Speak with our agent about scheduling dates, and he will walk you through the process.
Season of Autumn
Autumn is the greatest season to visit Nepal for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, which runs from September to November. Autumn temperatures are neither too hot nor too chilly. The average temperature during the day is around 20° C, although it can drop to - 10° C at night. The landscape is spectacular. You will be able to see breathtaking mountain ranges as well as green hills bursting with flowers. Again, there may be a wait during peak season, so the sooner you book, the better.
Season of Monsoon
Monsoon season begins in June and lasts until early September. The period between Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Landing is not advised. During this season, the Everest area is generally overcast, making navigation difficult. Flight delays and cancellations are especially probable during the monsoon season.
Season of Winter
Winter lasts from December through February, with severely low temperatures near Everest Base Camp. The temperature averages 15°C during the day and drops to negative 17°C at night. Despite the subzero temperatures, the vistas are breathtaking. In addition, there is less traffic, which is why many tourists select winter for their Heli trip. It is all up to you. Be prepared for flight delays, though, because you never know. Consult with our experts to have a better idea of what to anticipate.
Kala Patthar
Kala Patthar (5,644m), which is situated on the southern slope of Pumori in the Himalayas, is well known to hikers who are attempting to reach Everest Base Camp. The highest elevation that the majority of people may access without a climbing permit is this one. The breathtaking up-close views of Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, and the surrounding peaks are what make Kala Patthar so famous.
The alternative to the Everest Base Camp is Kala Patthar. Travel specialists much love it since the slope provides a view of the Everest summit that is not available from the base camp.
Hotel Everest View at Syangboche
At 13,000 feet, the Hotel Everest View in Syangboche has the title of the highest hotel in the world and was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2004. When Takasi Miyahara saw how spectacular the view of Everest from the Syangboche ridge was, he had the idea for the hotel in 1968.
A beautiful hill called Syangboche is located near Khumbila's foot. It has the highest airport in the world, where regular operations of helicopter shuttle and porter light services are conducted. You can enjoy the rich natural scenery and a very tranquil setting in Syangboche, Nepal, especially from the Hotel Everest View. If you are drawn to the outdoors, want to see the vast Himalayas up close, or just want to have a delicious breakfast at the world's highest hotel, the EBC Helicopter Tour with a landing in Nepal is the way to go.
Glacier in Khumbu
The Khumbu Glacier, which rises from 4,900 meters at its terminus to 7,600 meters at its source, is the tallest glacier in the world. The Khumbu Glacier, which is situated between Mount Everest and the Lhotse-Nuptse Ridge, is the biggest glacier in Nepal. On the last route leading to the base camp, hikers come across it. The Khumbu Icefall, a significant icefall on the glacier, is enormous. It is also one of the riskiest obstacles for climbers who are trying to reach the top of Everest. But when viewed from above, the enormous glacier is gorgeous, and the Himalayan mountain range around it is breathtaking. Therefore, the EBC Helicopter trip is a convenient option to view the icefall without taking too many risks.
The months of September through April are the best time to catch a glimpse of the mountain range's glittering peaks. At this time of year, the mountain peaks are blanketed in beautiful snow, and the glaciers and lakes are brimming with clean water that has descended from the Himalayas. During the spring months of March and April, it is feasible to land directly at Everest Base Camp. During other seasons, however, the landing will be at Kalapatthar.
Flights are more likely to be canceled during the summer and monsoon seasons when the weather is unpredictable since the peaks are relatively dry during those times. As a result, we advise booking mountain flights during the winter and spring seasons.
