About Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour
The Everest Heli Tour is a breathtaking aerial journey that offers you a chance to witness the grandeur of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m / 29,031 ft) and the entire Himalayan range — all in a single day. It’s the perfect choice for travelers who dream of standing face-to-face with the world’s highest peak but don’t have the time or physical ability for a long trek.
Starting from Kathmandu, this luxurious helicopter tour takes you over lush hills, winding rivers, traditional Sherpa villages, and snow-clad peaks — finally landing at Kalapatthar (5,545 m / 18,192 ft), the most iconic viewpoint for Mount Everest. You’ll also enjoy breakfast at the world-famous Hotel Everest View (3,880 m / 12,730 ft), the highest-placed hotel in the world, before returning to Kathmandu with memories that last a lifetime.
