Everest Helicopter Tour Overview
Everest Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu — Shared Flight from USD 1,299
The Everest Heli Tour is a one-day scenic helicopter journey from Kathmandu into the Khumbu region. The flight offers aerial views of Himalayan valleys and major peaks including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam, subject to visibility and the day’s approved flight path.
This is not a summit flight and it does not guarantee a landing at Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar. Routing, fuel stops, passenger shuttles and any high-altitude or hotel landing depend on weather, aircraft performance, passenger weight, aviation restrictions and the pilot’s operational decision.
Shared Everest scenic flight from USD 1,299 per person
Confirm the final route, landing plan, passenger limit, weight allowance, taxes and inclusions for your date before payment. Request availability and a written flight quote.
Typical Flight Plan
- Early transfer to the Kathmandu domestic terminal and safety briefing
- Scenic flight toward Lukla and the Everest region
- Operational fuel or passenger-balancing stop when required
- Everest-region aerial sightseeing and conditional landing approved for that flight
- Return to Kathmandu, normally within the same morning when weather permits
Mountain flights can be delayed, rerouted or cancelled. Keep the rest of the day flexible and avoid scheduling a tight international connection.
