During the trek and walking holidays, all the guest houses have a toilet but while doing Heli flights we have options of using the toilet at Kathmandu Airport, Lukla Airport, and Everest View Hotel. First of all, it is better to use your hotel in Kathmandu before driving to the airport.

If you want to go toilet at the airport then there is a Public toilet at domestic terminal buildings. On Lukla also there are toilet facilities at the airport. If you are staying long you can also use the toilets at the local tea house at Lukla. While landing at Feriche have a teahouse which has toilets within a little bit of walking distance.

Drinking water During Everest base camp Helicopter tour flights

Water is the second most important thing to live after the air. You can see water everywhere because 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water. Among them,96.5 percent of water is held by the ocean. All water is not possible to drink so we need to be careful while drinking water. We need to take good care of Drinking water during Everest base camp helicopter tour flights also.

We recommend people carry a bottle of water while going on flights. They can take water from the hotel or can buy it on the way to the airport also. There are also possibilities of buying at Kathmandu airport. After reaching Lukla the flights land at the airport and if you want to buy water it’s a big process which might be confusing.

You can ask some people to bring by giving them money or you have to ask pilots which is annoying. In Ferichea also if you want to buy it you have to walk towards the teahouse. You can see a flowing river on the side of the heliport but it’s not clean. The settlement of Thukla, Gorekhap, Loubecha & Jongla might pollute the water because it comes from those areas. The best options for getting water are in the Everest view hotel. The water is very expensive here because it’s a five-star category hotel.

So, the best thing is you carry your water bottle which is easy, comfortable, and safe.

We are also the best Organizer of the Annapurna base camp helicopter tour. We are the complete Everest base camp helicopter tour and Trip Advisor. There are possible 4 places where the helicopter lands which are mentioned below:

Everest base camp helicopter tour landing point.

First landing point – Lukla airport

The Everest base camp helicopter tour offers many landing points in the Everest Himalayan regions. Lukla Airport is the first landing point on Everest. After starting from Kathmandu the helicopter land at Lukla airport first if everything was OK and the weather is normal.

If the emergency or bad weather then it has to turn or land somewhere on the way. The most chances of landing are at Surkhe if the weather is bad in Lukla. The main purpose of landing in Lukla is to store fuel instead of flying with a heavyweight. The pilot and traveler also can use the bathroom if they need it. Pilots also can communicate and check weather conditions up over there.

Second landing point - Pheriche

After flying from Lukla the helicopter flies towards Pheriche the second landing point. We fly by crossing Phakding, Monjo, Hillary suspension bridge, Tangboche, and Pangboche. Pheriche is situated at elevations of 4371 meters above sea level. The main reason for landing here is to leave some weight here because the Heli only carries 240 kg or either 3 people.

The helicopter pauses here for 20 minutes which is an opportunity to click some stunning pictures. We can see Long Pheriche village, Cholatse, Toubecha, Chola, Loubecha Peak, Amadablam, and many snow-capped mountains.

Third landing point – Kala Patther

The helicopter flies with limited weight from here and goes towards Kala Patther crossing Thukla, Thukla pass, Loubecha, the Italian pyramid house, and Gorekshap. Reaching Kala Patther offers the third landing opportunity for this Heli tour. Here, we can enjoy the best photogenic panorama view of 360 degrees. We can see the giant Everest close. This is the closest and best viewpoint of Mount Everest (8848.86 m).

We will have a 20 to 30-minute stop here. If the weather is perfect at the base camp, the helicopter will land on base camp but need to request the pilot for this experience.

Fourth Landing point – Everest View Hotel

After the memorial landing on Kalapather or Everest base camp, the helicopter flies back to the Everest view hotel. The Everest view hotel is situated at an elevation of 3880 meters.

While flying over 4000 meters it carries the capacity to reduce to 250 kg from 500 kg.

The Helicopter is able to adjust 2 people, 3 people, 4 people, and 5 people. Helicopter Flights fly straight from Lukla to Everest base camp if it carries 3 or fewer people. The weight must be less than 250 kg from 3 people. If the people exceed three and the weight is greater than 250 kg then also we need to do two shuttles from Pheriche.
