1.Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour landing at Everest View Hotel

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 668 reviews · from $1,575Our pick

Fly from Kathmandu toward Everest in a shared helicopter, stop to refuel in Lukla, then view Everest and the surrounding peaks from the air. The tour lands at Hotel Everest View for an optional breakfast before returning to Kathmandu. Expect an early start, weather-dependent plans, and help from organizer Buddhi Bhatta.

“The helicopter ride in itself was a fun experience and the views of Everest and the surrounding mountains were amazing. A great experience that I would highly recommend. My only minor criticism is that the operator left us standing next to the helicopter pad for a period of time, would have been better if we were kept in the shuttle bus.”

Fly from Kathmandu over Lukla, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Gorak Shep, and the Khumbu glaciers, with a window seat for every passenger. The helicopter overflies Everest Base Camp, then allows up to 45 minutes at Everest View Hotel for tea or breakfast, which costs extra. Nepal Social Treks arranges hotel pickup, and guide Nabin Pandey has helped coordinate trips.

“Her şey olması gerektiği gibiydi. Bazı bekleyişler yaşandı elbette. Ancak hava durumu, havalimanının yetersiz durumları konuyu etkiliyor. Aldığınız tur sizi everest ana kampına götürmüyor. Lukla havalimanına sonrasında da everest wiew otele götürüyor. Yani aldığınız bu turla 3800 m yüksekliğe kadar cıkabiliyorsunuz ve everesti sadece helikopterden görüyorsunuz. 5 kişilik bir grupla seyahat ediyorsunuz. Arka koltuklar bir miktar sıkışık. Önemli nokta; eğer kalapathar gibi 5000+ bir noktaya helikopterin inmesini isterseniz rehberinize bu konuyu iletin. Lukla havalimanından sizi özel alıp o noktalara cıkartabiliyorlar. Yaklaşık 3 dakikalık bir kalapathhar vaktiniz oluyor bu fazlasıyla yeterli. ...”
