Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour – One-Day Itinerary

5:30 AM – Hotel Pick-Up and Transfer to Airport

6:30 AM – Helicopter Flight: Kathmandu to Lukla (2,845m)

Take off from Kathmandu and enjoy a scenic 45-minute flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. This short stop allows for refueling and a chance to soak in the mountain village ambiance.

After refueling, continue flying over Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and Khumbu Glacier, witnessing jaw-dropping views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and finally Mount Everest itself.

You will land briefly at Kala Patthar (weather permitting), one of the best vantage points to see Mount Everest up close. Take photos and enjoy 10–15 minutes of time at high altitude before descending (longer stays are not possible due to thin air and safety).

After breakfast, the helicopter heads back to Lukla for another quick stop and refueling before returning to Kathmandu.
