Real experiences from real travelers
Booking through this platform was seamless. The EBC tour with the landing at Everest View Hotel was spectacular. The pilot was incredibly knowledgeable and the views were better than any photo could capture.
My parents always wanted to see Everest but couldn't trek. This helicopter tour was the perfect solution. Pickup was on time and the landing at Kala Patthar was the highlight of their lives.
The flight was smooth and the views of Annapurna were breathtaking. Be warned it is very cold when you land, even if it looks sunny! Highly recommend booking the early slot.
I was hesitant about the price but it is absolutely worth it. You see so much in 4 hours. The landing at the base camp area felt like being on another planet. Great service.
Our pilot was a true pro. He explained all the peaks as we flew past. We had a slight weather delay but the communication from the operator was excellent.
I saw Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse all at once. The breakfast at 3,880m was the best meal I've ever had simply because of the view. Seamless booking process.
The Gosaikunda tour was short but beautiful. Perfect if you only have a few days in Kathmandu. The lake is stunning from above.
I've done the trek before, but seeing the Khumbu Glacier from the air gives you a totally different perspective. The scale is massive. This is a must-do in Nepal.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The best windows are March to May and September to December when skies are clearest. Morning flights are always preferred as clouds often build up in the afternoon.
Most tours land at Kala Patthar (5,545m) for the best views, as Everest itself isn't visible from the actual base camp due to the terrain. Some tours also land at Everest View Hotel.
Helicopters are equipped with supplemental oxygen. While most people don't need it for the short landing, it is available for safety if you feel the effects of altitude.
Safety is paramount. If the pilot deems conditions unsafe, the flight will be rescheduled or you will receive a full refund through the booking platform.
Dress in layers. Even in summer, it's freezing at 5,000m. Bring a down jacket, sunglasses (essential for snow glare), and sturdy shoes.
Standard helicopters fit up to 5 passengers plus the pilot. For high-altitude landings, weight restrictions may require splitting groups of 5 into two shuttles for the final ascent.
There is no strict age limit, but we recommend consulting a doctor for infants or very young children due to rapid altitude changes.
Yes, many operators offer 'Shared Seat' options which are significantly more affordable than private charters. You will be matched with other travelers.
On the Everest tour, you will typically reach an altitude of approximately 5,545 meters (18,192 ft) at the Kala Patthar landing point.
