Trip Introduction

Everest Heli Tour is a quick tour that takes you close to the world’s tallest mountains, Mt. Everest (8,848.68m/29,029 ft.). It is the heart of the mountain range. We’ll fly up to Everest Base Camp (5,600m) via Kala Patthar Base camp (5,550 m). We’ll be flying over snow-capped mountains like Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Cho Oyu (8,201 m), and Mt. Makalu (8,436 m) Ama Dablam (6,812m), as well as the Khumbu glacier (4,900m), Icefalls, and landscape.

Everest Heli Tour is the ideal tour for those who want to explore the Everest’s Mountain Range but are short on time or do not want to walk. This tour is less likely to cause altitude sickness than trekking.
