Everest, other snow-capped mountains, the beautiful Khumbu valley, Kalapathar, Khumbu glacier, Sherpa settlements, Lukla Airport, Lukla valley and more. Tourists from all around the globe come to experience a glimpse of Everest on a Heli flight. The Everest Base Camp region is a very famous destination for trekkers and adventure lovers. But trekking in the Everest region requires lots of effort and time. However, Heliflight in the Everest Base Camp region is the easiest, most flexible, and the prominent flight to experience the snow-capped mountains of the Everest region. If you have a busy schedule, then the Heli tour is the best alternative to experience Everest. Many travelers who have physical, health, and time issues prefer Heliflight over trekking in the Everest Base Camp. So, don’t just dream but make it happen, because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Heliflight in the Everest region offers you some of the highest snow-capped mountains in the world.


Along with Mount Everest (8848 m), mountains like Lhotse (8516m), Nuptse (7855 m), Amadablam (6812 m), Chamlang (7319 m), Makalu (8463 m), etc. can be seen from this Heli flight. From Kathmandu, the Helicopter lands at the Lukla airport for refueling purposes. Lukla airport (2,845 m/9,334 ft) is the most extreme airport in the world because of its altitude and runway. In Lukla, you can have some 5-10 minutes of break, which you can utilize in photography, sight view and feel the geography of Lukla valley. So, from Lukla, the helicopter flies over the Sherpa valley in Namche Bazar and heads towards Kalapathar.

Furthermore, the Helicopter lands at Kala Patthar, and it is at an altitude of 5645m. Kala Patthar is the highest point on earth which gives a closer view of Mount Everest summit. It gives the most prominent aspect of Mount Everest that even the mountaineers don’t get. Helicopter lands in the Kalapathar region for about 5 minutes because of high altitude, here you can capture photographs and view the most pleasant sight in the world.


Kalapathar gives a stunning view of the Everest Base Camp region, Khumbu region and several mountain ranges in a 360-degree view. From Kala Patthar, the helicopter flies over Everest base camp, Khumbu glacier, Everest view hotel (i.e., land at Everest view hotel for tea/breakfast) and heads towards the spectacular Lukla airport in Lukla Valley.
