A fantastic morning trip to Mount Everest can be an exclusive experience. But what if you want to stay on Everest or even continue on foot on the Everest Base Camp trek or any other trek of the area?
Himalayan partner offers two alternatives for those who want to trek but are not excited about spending the time to drive to the airport. Another is for people who wish to explore the Namche Bazar or enjoy the heart of the Himalayas without strolling in the sweat.
A flight from Ramcehap to Lukla, including a bus trip to Ramechap, is $600, which may sound better.
The airport set aside by the government of Nepal for flying people of the Everest region is several hours' drive from Kathmandu, and passing by Helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla can be the best alternative. 45-60 minutes flight will take you to Lukla, where you can start your trek usually.
People want to trek around the Everest region, and we will offer you a perfect trip for them. We fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla, which will enhance our experience.
In the domestic airport, the helipad is negligible due to Kathmandu Valley's mountain increasing the demand for land and air space.
The government of Nepal has planned to reduce air traffic by moving flights into the Everest region to the eastern part of Nepal, Ramechhap. This airport is several hour drives from Kathmandu, so the trekked must leave Kathmandu by bus in the afternoon to catch the early morning flights to Lukla.
But can you get a better night's sleep before starting the trek? You may want to stay a day to explore the local area, but at present, there is little to less accommodation which fills up quickly. Also, you can encounter bad weather delaying the flight. In such cases, you can utilize the tent and wait.
If you are looking to soar the clouds and stroll the rugged terrain of the Himalayas to reach the Everest abse camp, Namche Bazar to Kathmandu by Helicopter is a perfect idea.
Forty-five minutes flight will take you around the majestic area of Namche, especially for those looking to customize their trek from Namche and stroll the mountainous region.
This aerial flight will offer a relaxed time with a comfortable stay in Namche, pleasantly taking the sights and sounds of the Himalayan mountain, including flying over Everest Base Camp and landing at Kala Pathar.

Please note that the tour timing may vary based on weather conditions and flight schedules.
We have a team of experienced Helicopter crew in the aviation industry for decades. They are professionally trained for your comfort and safety while flying clients to Everest base camp for decades.
Staying at Everest base camp may not be a good idea as there are no tea houses. The last settlement area is Gorakshep, where you stay the night.
However, you don't recommend staying at a high altitude without proper acclimatization as your body can't handle the height suffering from altitude sickness.
In an emergency, you will have access to the oxygen cylinder in the Helicopter.
In bad weather, you will be refunded if the tour is canceled.

After taking the flight to the Everest base camp at a high altitude of over 5550m, we will reduce the weight. In the group of 4-5 people, we will do two shuttles from Pherichee.
While one group will take the delicious taste of breakfast, another group will fly to the viewing point of Everest, Kalapatthar(5545m). The Helicopter cannot switch off its engine on Everest at a high altitude in such windy conditions we will stay for 10 minutes there.
Besides, the human body cannot transition from 1400m to over 550m in a few hours. While it is safe to make the trip, we don't want to spend a long time at a high altitude.
The time is long enough to gain beautiful pictures, videos, and memories!
The magnificent view of Mt. Everest and the surrounding Himalayan range highlights this adventurous trip.
After returning to the hotel, you will enjoy a champagne breakfast while other party members board the helicopter trip for the astonishment of Kalapathar and Everest.
