Mount Everest Helicopter Tour is the golden opportunity of those who have not enough time to explore by land transport of trekking activities. Within a short period of time, you can reach the heavenly joy with this trip. For that, your flight takes off from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International airport at 7 AM. The helicopter flies east, parallel to the Himalayan range. A breathtaking landscape unfolds as your pilot glides the helicopter above picturesque Sherpa mountain villages, gompas (monasteries), emerald mountain lakes and a snowy expanse of Himalayan peaks and glaciers. Khumbu Himal, Ama Dablam, Kantega, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, and Mt. Everest are but some of the peaks you will get to see up close. If you take this flight during the climbing season, you may also spy colorful-tented camps of expedition groups on the mountains. There will be a brief stopover 7(5-7mins) at Kala Patthar-5545m (the site of the ‘World’s Highest Cabinet Meeting’) for you to take pictures. From Kala Patthar, one can get the closest view of Mount Everest. At 8:45 AM, by 9:15 AM, you will board the helicopter and fly back to Kathmandu.
