Everest Heli Tour Overview
Mount Everest
Frequently listed as one of the best holiday destinations in the world, the Everest Heli Tour is a dreamer's must-do bucket list item. This tour offers a personalized and uniquely pampered experience, combining immersive cultural encounters with stunning visual delights. The adventure begins with an hour-long helicopter flight through Sagarmatha National Park to reach the Khumbu region, landing at Kalapatthar (5,545m). Here, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,861m), Ama Dablam (6,856m), and other Himalayan peaks. Breakfast is served at one of the world's highest star-rated hotels in Syangboche (3,880m), with Everest as your backdrop.
Everest Trip Planner advises caution due to the sudden altitude gain, as the helicopter tour reaches up to 5,545 meters, potentially causing altitude sickness. While the Everest Heli Tour is available year-round, the best views are typically during the spring and autumn seasons. Winter and monsoon seasons may bring weather challenges such as fog, heavy rain, and snowfall, which can delay or cancel flights to and from Lukla.
