Business Description
The Everest Base Camp helicopter tour is a popular alternative to the traditional trekking route to the base camp of Mount Everest. The tour is designed for those who want to see the beauty of the Himalayas and experience the thrill of being close to Mount Everest, but who may not have the time or physical ability to complete the trek.The tour typically starts with a helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, and then on to the base camp. The flight offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, and passes over several Sherpa villages, glaciers, and high-altitude passes. At the base camp, trekkers can take a short hike to Kala Patthar for a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks.
The tour is typically completed in one day, and it's a great way to see the beauty of the region without the physical demands of the trek. However, it's important to note that the tour is more expensive than the traditional trek, and it may not provide the same level of cultural experience as the trek.
The best time to take the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour is in the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is clear and stable, and the views of the mountains are at their best. However, it's important to note that the weather can be unpredictable in the Himalayas, so it's always better to be prepared for any situation.
