Why is it called Everest Base Camp Helicopter Landing Tour?
This is a fascinating Base Camp Helicopter Landing Tour Expedition that has an element of a pleasant twist on the offer for you to experience while exploring the Everest Base Camp. This carefully designed itinerary gives you an opportunity to observe the mountains from both the air and land. As a helicopter cannot hover around for long and has to land for refueling at four different places in Everest Himalayas. This is where you get to observe the different moods of the Everest fraternity in one go. Landing at these places offers mesmerizing views of high mountains like Mount Everest and other Himalayan ranges, hills, glaciers, icefalls, ridges, Chortens, and so on. These are where the landing opportunities take place at these iconic places while doing the Mount Everest Helicopter Tours.
The first landing takes place at Lukla Airport.
The first landing opportunity takes place at Lukla Airport. Lukla is a scenic hamlet that laps one of the most treacherous airports in the world, Lukla Airport (Tenzing Hillary Airport) at the height of 2860 meters. This first helicopter landing of 15 to 20 minutes is for refueling the helicopter. Refueling prevents any hazardous situations that might occur at the extreme vertical height due to lower fuel presence.
The second landing takes place at the Everest Base Camp/Kala Patthar/Gorakshep
The helicopter flies and goes upwards towards the Everest Base Camp near Kala Patthar (5644.5 meters) to get the best views. However, the weather here sometimes can be unfavorable and unpredictable. In that case, we fly the other route that leads us toward the fascinating Gorakshep. Here the illustrious panoramic view of the snow-capped skyscraping mountains is rewarding and memorable. Everest Base Camp Helicopter Landing Tour is a fairytale kind of adventure to ever be in.
The ultimate and third landing is at the Everest View Hotel
This is perhaps an amphitheater feel-like landing that takes place at the Hotel Everest View (3880 meters). This is one of the renowned high mountain hotel providers of splendid close-up views like nowhere else in the world. This is the longest halt of all where you will stop for around 40 minutes to enjoy breakfast with a front-eye view of Mount Everest. After gathering cherished memories of a close-up encounter with the mighty Himalayan views you will fly to Kathmandu via Lukla.
Is the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Safe?

Your safety is of paramount concern as we use a powerful helicopter used for the tour. The changing weather and its moods are also taken into consideration as ascertain that is it flying-friendly or has some technical flaws. The best part is the Everest Helicopter Tour is operated by highly trained and experienced pilots only. Likewise, for safety purposes, we only bring three people while making a flight from Lukla to Kala Patthar. So, if there are 4-5 people in a group, we will create two separate groups from Lukla. Hence each and every aspect is taken care of with the minutest of details. This ensures that the tour is safe at all ends.
