The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a brief yet unforgettable 4-day adventure that begins with sightseeing in Kathmandu. On the first two days, we explore Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, immersing ourselves in the city’s rich cultural history.

The highlight of the tour is the helicopter ride on the third day. The excitement of flying over Everest is unparalleled. The journey starts with a bird’s eye view of the Kathmandu valley, then over lush green mountains, and finally up to Kala Patthar. Kala Patthar is the highest point of the tour at 5400 meters. Here, we stop to admire the breathtaking close-up views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, which leaves everyone speechless.

We also visit the stunning Gokyo Lakes, the world’s highest freshwater lake system. We land at the third Gokyo Lake, known for its serene beauty. After taking in the views, we fly back to Kathmandu, where our unforgettable Everest helicopter tour concludes.

Upon your arrival at the Tribhuwan International Airport, a representative from Naata Trek and Tours will be waiting for you at the airport, displaying a playing card imprinted with your name. He/she will then transfer you to the designated hotel. In the evening, we can enjoy a welcome dinner hosted by Naata Trek and Tours. We can enjoy Nepalese cuisine during the dinner, introducing us to the country’s food culture.

After breakfast, we will have a pre-trip meeting, where you will be introduced to your Guide. During the meeting, you can provide yourself with any queries regarding the trip.

We visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most significant Buddhist shrines in the world, where we observe Buddhist monks praying in the monasteries surrounding the stupa.

After Boudhanath Stupa, we visit Pashupatinath Temple, the most famous Hindu temple in the country. It is located on the banks of the holy Bagmati River. Here, we see Hindu holy men (sadhus) meditating, pilgrims bathing, and occasionally, funeral pyres burning on the ghats.

We will also visit Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a collection of pagoda and shikhara–style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The attractions of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square are the Lion Gate, the Golden Gate, the Palace of Fifty-Five Windows, art galleries, and the Statue of King Bhupatindra Malla.

We leave for the airport early to start our heli tour. After about an hour, we reach the Everest Base camp; we do not land there but fly over the base camp with dramatic aerial views of the Everest region, which is an amazing experience. We land at Kala Pathar, get off for about 10-15 minutes, and soak in the spine-chilling beauty of the titanic, Mount Everest, and the neighboring mountains.

Our next stop is at one of the beautiful Gokyo Lakes. We spend a few minutes around the lakes, listening to the sound of silence and admiring its tranquility. Finally, we head back to Kathmandu, and in the evening, Naata Trek and Tours will host a THANK YOU farewell dinner program.

Note: If necessary, we may have to stop at Lukla to refuel the helicopter.

Our Everest Helicopter tour in Nepal concludes today. A representative from Naata Trek and Tours will drop you off at the international airport on schedule for your departure.
