The trip is outstanding if you have a good-condition helicopter and pilots. For this, you need to select a good trekking company or a good helicopter company in Nepal. That a reputed company definitively manages this well for you. Pilots are highly trained professionals with many hours of helicopter flying experience. This experience pilots have flown the same helicopter many times on the same routes in different weather conditions So you can trust the pilot 100% for safety.

If we talk about the Heli they also have different things and protocols people follow. If you reach the airport a few hours before the flight then you can see what kinds of tests and measures they do before the flights. Before the flight, every helicopter undergoes a battery of tests.

Yes, we have the group joining services for the Mt. Everest Helicopter Charter Flight Tour to Base Camp. The maximum number of people for the tour is 5 people. Before it used to be 6 people but now there is a rule only to carry 5 people from the authorities. So, the cost will be shared among the people. There may not be people to tour every day so you need to have flexible dates and need to contact us and confirm your dates earlier so we can do others on the same dates you looking for.

Actually, this depends on which months of the year you are doing the tour. Most of the months there won’t be such problems. If the weather stays very bad and windy or snow there is a risk. But I am sure you don’t have to face any problems.

If the weather is bad during the tour day then we have next day waiting and seeing for good weather. If still bad weatehr for second day then the tour is postponed to the another next day or another suitable day. If you don’t have time we will refund the amount.

During the Mt. Everest Helicopter Charter Flight Tour to Base Camp, we provide only breakfast. We don’t have a lunch and dinner facility but if you want to include that also in cost we can do that. The breakfast will be in the Everest View Hotel. It is a 5-star category Japanese hotel. This is the top hotel in the Everest region.

You will have a wonderful breakfast along with the view from the Everest View Hotel. Those people who take the 2-day option of doing the Mt.Everest helicopter charter flight landing tour to base camp need food and accommodations which we will provide. If you are curious about food and accommodations on the mountain then check the blog Food on Everest Base Camp Trek as well as Teahouses on Everest Base Camp Trek.

Such kinds of breathing problems can happen to anyone at any time. I experienced such kinds of breathing problems after landing on base camp and Kalapather. We will have an oxygen facility in a helicopter to make easy breathing. This easy breathing makes it easy on tour too.

The problem may occur during the tea house at night at that time you need to consult the hotel owner or guide and they have oxygen cylinder and they will help you on getting oxygen right way. For the Mt. Everest Helicopter Charter Flight Tour to Base Camp if you take guide will be prefect and can help you when you got problems any.

First of all, let us talk about the Mt. Everest Helicopter Charter Flight Tour to Base Campguide. The tour guide is mostly the city tour guide. Few are mountain guides too. We will provide you with a mountain guide who worked many years in the Everest region treks. The guide will be able to show you the passes, trek routes, places as well as many things. The pilot is the main person to have for a successful tour. We always use an experienced pilot to do this tour regularly.

We will be always flying higher. The highest point where we step foot is the Kalapather viewpoint. The helicopter landed at 5400 meters elevation. If you like you can hike to Kalapather top which is 5550 meters. The base camp is 5364 meters and the helicopter lands there too. The helicopter lands at either Kalapather or base camp.

Most helicopters land in the Kalapather viewpoint because we can see base camp from there as well as the Everest view. We will not have a view of Everest from base camp so most people choose Kalapathar over base camp. To land on base camp the weather needs to be perfect.

No wind and clouds will be possible to land on base camp. The sightseeing tour helicopter does not land during the climbing season because the helicopter disturbs climbers and may blow away tents. Only rescue helicopters land on base camp during the climbing period. If the weather is favorable we will think about that.

Landing on base camp is to step foot on the base of the world's highest mountain. Clicking pictures is another interesting part of the tour. As soon as these things are finished there is no reason to stay longer. Instead of staying there fly to Kalapather viewpoint to see Everest as well as another Himalayan range.

Yes, we have an Everest base camp trek by Helicopter for people who want to start the trek from the beginning in Lukla and only take a helicopter after completing base camp and the Kalapapther hike. You can check our package you might prefer to go that way.
