Overview
A morning helicopter flight from Kathmandu to the Everest region, with a short landing at a high viewpoint weather permitting.
This day trip brings you face to face with Everest without the trek. Tours usually fly past Lukla and up the Khumbu valley, with a short high landing near Kala Patthar and a breakfast stop near Namche or Syangboche.
Time at the highest landing is usually short because of the altitude, and landing points depend on the weather and the pilot's judgement. Check with your doctor if you have heart or breathing conditions.
Helicopters share seats, or you can charter the whole aircraft. Weight limits apply.
