Helicopter to Everest Base Camp: Tour Itinerary
A private vehicle will come for the group and take everybody to the domestic terminal of the airport. Other important formalities like ticketing or weighing, if at all are required, will be done on these arrivals.
Helicopter evacuation from the airport gives a splendid aerial view of the city, scattered establishments, thick forest, and snow-capped Himalayas.
It's always a spontaneous scene where the helicopter stretches its wheels and lands briefly in Lukla to refuel. The next part of the flight takes you toward the Everest base camp passing through the hills, valleys of Namche Bazaar, and the arctic Himalayas.
It has to reach a vantage or break point, where people can have an excellent breakfast accompanied by high photographic or visual opportunities on Mount Everest and other related mountains. This activity brings mountain tranquility together with the option of refreshing foods.
After breakfast once again the helicopter starts flying and as we are moving you can capture some vantage view of the Himalayan terrain on the way to Lukla where the helicopter stops for refueling.
The last part of the journey leads the participants back to Kathmandu. Another change for spectacular aerial views of the mountains and isolated buildings is provided before the helicopter lands at the airport. A car will always be waiting, from which participants will be dropped off at their lodgings
