Physical fitness, time constraints (it takes a minimum of 12 days treks for the Everest base camp treks), and/or other reasons may be a barrier to your dream of touching the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. And, if you are concerned that you would not be able to make it in your lifetime, then this may be a godsend. Access Nepal offers you a Helicopter Tour to the Everest Base Camp that gives you an experience of a lifetime, witnessing the beauty of the world’s highest mountains, regardless of any kind of limitation you may have. Besides the view of Mount Everest, you can have magnificent views of Pumori, Nuptse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Gauri Shankar, Ganesh Himal, Jugal, among others. Apart from the Himalayas, you will be allured by the glaciers, lakes, winding hills, terraced farms, rivers, gorges, villages, monasteries and other attractions of the Khumbu region.
Your Safety
The helicopter would be equipped with an oxygen cylinder, and other necessary medicines and safety equipment, in case of an emergency. Furthermore, the fly time is just appropriate enough to witness the Himalayan majesty and not get affected by the high altitude. You would be less likely to encounter any kind of health hazard during the trip since the ground time at the high altitude (near Kalapatthar at roughly 5400m, upon request) would be limited to five-ten minutes only.
Price
The trip lasts approximately four hours.
Note: The trip entirely depends upon the current weather conditions of the region.
After brief administrative procedures at the airport, the helicopter would take off to Lukla.
From Lukla, you will fly to the Everest Base Camp, the helicopter would land at the Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar (Kala Patthar is located right at the foot of Pumori (7161m) and above Gorakshep on the way to Everest Base Camp) depending upon the weather. The helicopter will stay there for a brief period of time (about five minutes) where you can have magnificent views of mountains, right in front of your eyes and take photographs and short videos.
Then, you will fly to Syanboche (or Kongde) where you can have a breakfast at the Everest View Hotel. You can enjoy the view of Mount Everest and other mountains while having breakfast.
Following breakfast, the helicopter will fly to Lukla.
In a while, you will fly back to Kathmandu.
After you land at the Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA) Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel in a car.
The duration of the tour can vary, but it typically lasts around 3 to 4 hours, including the time spent at Kalapatthar.
Yes, the helicopter tour is open to anyone, regardless of age or physical fitness. It provides an alternative option for those who may not be able to undertake the challenging trek to Everest Base Camp.
The best time to take the helicopter tour is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months offer clear skies, stable weather conditions, and optimal visibility for enjoying the stunning views.
Altitude sickness is generally not a concern during the helicopter tour since you will not be spending extended periods of time at high altitudes. However, it’s essential to consult with a medical professional and follow their recommendations to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
ExcellentBased on 318 reviewsDavid M2023-06-27Excellent all round Completed the three peaks pass with access Nepal. Hiked for 15 days straight. Found a couple of day’s challenging. The challenge made the adventure even more special. Found access Nepal to be a great company. Everything was organised and constant communication between their office and our designated go between. Our guide Subodh was fantastic. Provided plenty information on cultural landmarks along the walk and of Nepal itself. He encouraged us to go at our own pace and was flexible with the path to make some days easier and catch up on other days. We had 3 sherpas Netra, yubaraj and Dipesh. These guys are beasts and well deserve a generous tip. All in all the trip was fantastic and the price for the trip was on the low side compared to other tour companies and they are a local company that rely on word of mouth. Would book them in again when going back to Nepal. David (Australia)Fernanda M2023-06-07Guaranteed support and unique experience with Access I did the Three Passes Trekking with Access and I can assure you that it was the best experience of my life. Sadhana gave me all the support a few weeks before the trip, organized the itinerary, a guide gave me all the tips before the trip, clothes, health, itinerary, tips and everything else. In addition to everything, Lakpa was my guide, I don't know what would have become of me without him, he recognized the moments when I was very tired, he arranged all my organization for a peaceful stay in the lodges and he gave me a lot of support. Anyway, I recommend Access with my eyes closed, I want and will go back to Nepal in the near future and do other trekkings. It was my life's dream come true!Marita R2023-05-28Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime! This is our second time going with Access Nepal, this time for our honeymoon, and it was just as fantastic the second time around. It's an absolutely lovely company that will handle your trip as professionally as possible, from arriving at the airport to leaving again. They listen to your needs and wishes, and customize the trip accordingly. We are always incredibly well taken care of by one of the managers, Sadhana, who is a dear friend by now, who always does anything she can to make the trip the absolute best it can be. And we couldn't have asked for better company or a more trustworthy guide than our guide Giri. The company has very high standards as to how they treat and compensate their staff, and its really visible in the content and pride shown by all of their staff members. As for the treks they offer, we've done both the Everest three high passes and the Manaslu circuit now, and both have been absolutely mind-blowing. There really is no other place in the world like the Himalayas. Every single part; the Jeep ride into the areas, the high roads, the mountain sides, the mountains following your every step; everything is just absolutely amazing. It's too amazing to describe in words or pictures. I can't tell you anything but to GO!!! It's well, well, well worth the time and cost!!Alcenir2023-05-273 passes with Accsess Nepal I had one of the best experiences of my life with Accsess Nepal, in the mountains of Nepal. To go to the Everest Base Camp is a dream of many. However, I wanted a little bit more, so I chose the "Everest 3 High Passes - 19 days" trek. Incredible. The sights and people of this wonderful place will remain etched in my memory forever. The company provided all the administrative support for my arrival in Kathmandu, through Sadhana. She was always very prompt with my various questions and ensured a perfect organization for my comfort and safety. And, finally, Devman. He was our guide during the trek. A first-rate professional. Very concerned about the safety of the group. Knowledgeable about the mountain and the fantastic Nepalese culture. He ensured that everyone individually enjoyed the best possible experience on this spectacular trek. I really recomend this company and if you can, choose Devman as your guide. Enjoy the mountain!Izabele F2023-05-22It was worth waiting so many years I did the Everest Base Camping trek with this agency and it was much better than I expected. I made the trip alone and received all the support from Sadhana and had the most partner guide along with the porter. I felt safe and respected the entire time. We form a family and enjoy every day with great joy. This trip will stay forever in my memory and heart. Very grateful to the entire Access Nepal family, especially my guide Sobodh for all his care and teachings.Girish B2023-05-03Grand tour of Nepal Our whole trip to Nepal was excellent from the tailor made itinerary organized by Pratap to the internal transfers by car. The whole trip was professionally organized after several discussions until it was exactly as we wanted and the tour company did not fail us. Our guide Bimal was very protective and very knowledgeable and the driver Laxman was safe and very experienced. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family as we got the exact trip that we wanted and expected. The hotels selected were fantastic throughout. If we were to do this trip again we would fly internally rather than drive as the roads were not that great. Thankyou Pratap for a memorable trip. Girish and Leena Bhome (UK)Vro v2023-05-02Perfect!
