Off course, you need to have enough time for a trek to the base camp and need to be well trained to walk. Other things are facing with altitude problem, cold temperature and much more. But the Everest base camp helicopter tour can be done by everyone without any sufferings.

It is an exciting flight tour which is known as Everest base camp helicopter landing tour. The helicopter flies from Kathmandu with 5 passengers and lands on Lukla, Everest view hotel and Kala Patthar. Landing in Lukla is to fill the fuel and landing on the Everest view is to drop off half of the passengers. It is difficult to land on Kala Patthar with full of passengers that’s why 2 or 3 people will drop off at the Everest view hotel on the way up. It flies twice from Everest view hotel to Kalapatthar and flies over the base camp from where you can see the famous icefall Khumbu icefall and a big Khumbu glacier. After enjoying and exploring the Everest Himalaya, all the people will fly back to Kathmandu together from Everest view hotel.

These helicopter flight tours operate from Kathmandu in every morning. If the weather won't be nice, flights don't operate. You need to wear warm clothes for the tour because there will be cold when you land on Lukla, Everest view hotel and Kala Patthar. Take your passport with you and some change amount for the tour.

Difference Between Everest Mountain Flight And Helicopter Tour

Everest scenic flight is flying with a plane from Kathmandu and land back in Kathmandu. It is cheaper than a helicopter flight. Scenic flight flies both directions so people from both sides can see the Himalaya well. But this flight tour does not land anywhere else after and before Kathmandu airport.

Similarly, the Everest base camp helicopter tour will land in several places and goes very close to the mountains. Competitively, it is an expensive flight tour then a scenic flight. A helicopter flies to very close to the villages, landscape, green hills and mountain so exploring with a helicopter flight is much more fun.
