Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Route
A Helicopter flies from Kathmandu Airport in the morning with five travelers to Lukla for around 40 minutes and lands for refueling. You have a 10-15 minute break here and fly to Pheriche for the second land to split suttles because all five travelers can not fly to Kala Patthar simultaneously. Kala Patthar is the nearest viewpoint to Mt.Everest, from where you can see the nearest view of the world's highest mountain and its range in 360 degrees angles. 2 or 3 travelers fly in one suttle to Kala Patthar after splitting shuttles from Pheriche. After the Kala Patthar land, you fly back to Pheriche through the Base Camp and Khumbu Glacier. When the Helicopter completes both shuttles for all five travelers from Pheriche, all together fly back to Hotel Everest View and stop for breakfast. You see magnificent mountain views from the terrace of Hotel Everest View with delicious breakfast in the world's highest Hotel. Mt.Thamserku, Kusum Kangaroo, Khangteka, ama Dablam, Taboche, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Peak 38 can be seen from this hill station, including Everest. After breakfast, you fly back to Lukla, land for refueling, and fly to Kathmandu with a beautiful memory of the Everest Himalayas.
