| Day 1 | Everest Helicopter tour Kathmandu to Lukla Fly over Base Camp and Stop Kala Patthar, Breakfast at Shyangboche |
You will be driven to the airport from your hotel. The flight is usually scheduled early in the morning as the skies remain clear in the mountains in the early hours. Get on board and fly east towards Lukla. Enjoy panoramic views of Kathmandu before heading towards the mountains. Fly above Himalayan peaks till you reach Lukla, a mountaintop Sherpa settlement known as the ‘Gateway to Everest’. Land at Tenzing-Hillary Airport for refueling (10 to 15 minutes). Later, head towards the mountains.
Enjoy breathtaking views of glacial rivers, Sherpa settlements, and monasteries. Fly over the emerald Gokyo Lakes and frozen glaciers. Hover above Everest Base Camp, the base camp of expedition groups attempting to scale Mount Everest. If it’s a climbing season, the snow-covered landscape will be filled with colorful tents. View the broad glacial basin of Western Cwm, Khumbu Icefall and Khumbu Glacier. Enjoy a brief stopover at Kala Patthar (5,545m). You are almost at the foot of Mount Everest, surrounded by one of the most incredible views on this planet. A chain of some of the highest peaks in the world rises up all around you. Soak in the views and take pictures. As Kala Patthar lies at an altitude of 5,550 meters, the air is thin and oxygen levels low. So that the altitude won't affect you, we stop here for only 10 to 15 minutes. Later fly to Shyangboche.
Stop at Shyangboche for breakfast. Flanked by the frozen walls of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Khumbu Himal you celebrate the completion of this wonderful tour. Bid goodbye to these grand peaks and fly back to Kathmandu. Before landing at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, enjoy aerial views of Bouddhanath, Swoyambhunath, Pashupatinath, and the durbar squares, all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the airport, you will be driven back to your hotel.
