One of the luxurious and lifetime experience, Flight to Everest Region by Private Helicopter is something unimaginable and beyond your expectation. Helicopter flies from Kathmandu to Everest Region and over Everest Base camp. Imagine the landing at Kalapatthar at an altitude of 5,643 m/18,500 ft... Spending few minutes with a close view of Mt. Everest, world’s highest mountain and it’s neighbors Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Cholatse and many more.
This is the great opportunity to understand the mountain Sherpa people of Khumbu(Everest) region and the geography of Nepal. On your way back from Kalapatthar, you will fly over Gokyo Lakes which are a set of 6 tranquil lakes. We spend around 1 hour in Syangboche at Everest View Lodge.
Can you imagine, you are having Champagne breakfast at 3,800 meters?
From
Syangboche, you see Mt. Everest and its neighbors, Mt. Amadablam, Kongde
Mountain and many more.

we can fly to Lukla by Schedule flight and do Heli Everest tour. If you are in
