Mt. Everest Base Camp lies in the Mahalangur Himalayan range of Solu-Khumbu district in Nepal.

Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel run by Didier Delsalle reached Mt. Everest at 8,848 m (29,029 ft) setting a world record.
Mt Everest has thin air as it lies at a high altitude above 8000m. The helicopter requires a specific limit of air for lift during takeoff. In the low atmospheric condition, there is not enough air for helicopters to take the lift. Therefore, it is not logistically possible to arrive at the summit of Mt. Everest, and thus we land in the Everest Base Camp.
Helicopters can’t fly high because they need a certain air level to gain lift, which is impossible on Everest. Hence, Helicopters fly at a low altitude of 15,000 to 18,000 feet, and they can’t go as high as airplanes.

I felt a little out of the weather but managed to reach my destination through the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour. I was traveling solo and did not have anyone to take care of me in case of unforeseen circumstances. I had not planned ahead for such situations either. However, the crew helped me in a very hospitable way. They made sure I had enough hot water and stayed hydrated and gave me extra pieces of clothing in case I needed them. They also made provision of food and accommodation, although it was not involved in my flight package. I was honestly very grateful and appreciative of the crew. Choosing the Everest base camp helicopter tour package was the safest and best decision I made during my travel.
- My second trip back to the EBCSamuel Quintero March 31, 2022Having already experienced an Everest base camp helicopter tour in the past, I could not go back there. The trip was and is still the most worthy trip I’ve ever had. Such a short trip to the Himalayas. You can plan it literally one day ahead and still go. Also, getting such easy means of transport to a significant place like Everest is amazing. The last time I had the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, it was too good to believe. I even wondered if this was a limited offer of some sort. But a few years later and it is still on. I encouraged my friends who are new to traveling in Nepal to do this deal too. The trip went as well as the last one. My friends loved it too. They keep sharing about how memorable the viewpoint from Kala Patthar was to people back home. The trip that made my journey to Nepal so wonderful back in the day made it more memorable.Date of Experience: March, 2022
- The chaotic snowstorm: a successful trip to the Everest Base CampJimmie Barnettefrom United States (US)December 30, 2021The snowstorms and wind in the Everest region are extreme. Without wonder, my trip to the Everest Base Camp also came with such challenges. But they were tackled so well by the crew. The Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour's mode of travel made it possible. They had a very rigid and familiar routine to tackle the extreme weather of the Everest region. The pilots were quite skilled and very well acquainted with flying through the Himalayas. Any chances of disaster caused by the weather were immediately tackled. If the weather during your flight time is bad, they immediately reschedule yours to the fastest and most convenient weather time. You do not have to worry about your flights canceling or your money as they easily refund you or reschedule.
- Trekking vs. Flying to the EBCWalter November 25, 2021Back in 2008, I trekked from Lukla to the Everest Base Camp. I remember the trek being very exhausting and unsatisfactory. It was quite long; several times, I questioned whether it was worth going. This time around, I visited the Base camp through the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. It was so very convenient and definitely worth the extra bucks I paid. It was an easy, smooth flight from Lukla to the base camp and then to the viewpoint at Kala Pathar. I hadn’t been here the last time so was very excited about it. The view of Everest from this point was beyond what I had imagined. I am definitely bringing my friends through this route the next time I visit Nepal. The booking and travel are straightforward, and the trip is short yet an ethereal experience.
- The unplanned tour to Everest Base CampLeslie Leonardfrom United Kingdom (UK)November 25, 2021The schedule for the India trip had room for 3 more days of activities. But I was almost done with everything I had planned. I did not want to waste my next 3 vacation days, so I browsed about short trips to take from India. While I thought a quick 2 day trip to Nepal would be a good idea, I had not realized I could actually visit the Everest Base Camp within such a short time frame. I quickly booked a flight to Nepal along with a ticket for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. The next day I reached Kathmandu, and the following day I completed my trip to the Kallapathar viewpoint and then back to Kathmandu. The fact that such an impromptu trip ended up becoming so easy and successful is mind-blowing. I am so happy that I chose to do it.Date of Experience: November, 2021
- The top of the world from KalapattharMichael Tanner November 25, 2021When I planned a trek to Everest's base camp, I thought it would mostly be tiring with a closer and adequate glance to the peak. But boy, I was wrong. The choice of travel was the key. I chose to go to the base camp via the Everest Base Camp Helicopter. This travel had a very well-constructed package for the tourists. Not only did I get to fly to the Everest Base camp so easily, but I also got to view Mount Everest through the Kala Patthar viewpoint. A normal self-planned package would never let me experience this. The trekking there would have me so exhausted I would barely experience Everest at its fullest. I highly recommend you to travel through this Helicopter tour if you want a fast-paced trip and an enchanting experience of seeing Everest up close.Date of Experience: November, 2021
- The post pandemic tripHenry Gagnon October 7, 2021After losing a few known friends and family due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my close ones are rarely open to allowing me to travel like before. I have trekked a lot of Himalayan trails before. The Everest Base Camp visit was a long time coming. I chose to travel through the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and am so glad I did. The post-pandemic worry about COVID infection was taken care of. This trip was so secure in terms of COVID safety protocol that it could easily ensure my family of my safety. They had very good measures like frequent sanitation, the strict requirement of tests before and after travels, and the maintenance of a small crew for COVID safety. I highly recommend you travel to EBC through here.Date of Experience: October, 2022
- The glimpse of Everest from the skyWanda Lazaro October 5, 2021Traveling to the Everest Base Camp by foot sounded too exhausting and time-consuming. But I really wanted to see Everest up close. When I planned on going to the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. My expectations were very limited. I never expected it to be the same as the trek. I was correct, but in all the wrong ways. The Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour was everything I wanted and more. It relieved me from having to exhaust my labor but let me experience the cinematic view of the Himalayas up close. Putting aside the destination, the travel was also equally fun. The observation of Namche Bazar and the ever-so-mesmerizing flow of Dudh Koshi was a heartwarming sight. The view from the helicopter of Namche bazaar and the locals from above was like watching a movie. It was surreal. If you're touring Nepal, you need to experience this Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour.
- The Lukla airport experienceRandy Brownfrom CanadaMay 10, 2021Ever since I learned that Lukla is one of the most dangerous airports in the world, I have been very wary about traveling through it. But after some of my friends took a trip through it, I gave it a chance. I booked a flight for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. I have to say giving it a chance was so worth it. I communicated with the pilot and the support staff and told them about my doubts. They were very kind enough to walk me through the types of equipment they use, share their experiences with me, and assure me I would be fine. A few minutes into the flight, I was busy sightseeing, and all my worries were gone. After finishing this trip, I can assure anyone else that this experience is worth it and nothing to fret over.Date of Experience: May, 2021
- The missed experienceEdith Underwood February 17, 2021I had planned for a tour to the Everest Base Camp back in 2016. But unfortunately, due to a small sprain on my ankle, I had to cancel the whole plan. This had me devastated. So this time, I did my research and ensured I would go there. I found out about the availability of the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. This was such a delight. A helicopter would’ve easily saved my canceled plan back in the day. But I was thankful for it this time around too. The flight was mesmerizing and quite comfortable. The rocky and icy landscapes of the Himalayas of Everest, along with the quaint and peaceful remote villages and the farmlands, are so wonderful. I highly suggest the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour if you want insurance on your Everest Base Camp trip plans.Date of Experience: February, 2021
- A flight near the world’s peakAlicia Messerfrom United States (US)February 2, 2020I always found the Himalayas so fascinating. But never in my wildest dream had I thought my experience in the Himalayas could end up being so surreal. I took a helicopter tour of the base camp of Everest, and it was so worth it. The snowcap-covered peak of the world seemed like something made out of a dream. Especially when you are so well accommodated in a flight, without all the discomfort, just getting to enjoy the scenic beauty is wonderful. The flight package was very worth it, and so was its itinerary. The travel through Dudh Koshi and the opportunity to observe the Buddhist monasteries and the locals at Namche bazaar was one hell of an experience. This trip was for sure on top of my most memorable live events.Date of Experience: January, 2020
