de Everest Base Camp<\/a> Helicopter Tour is a 1-day scenic helicopter flight from Kathmandu<\/a> to the Everest region, landing at Kala Patthar<\/a> (5,545m) for the iconic close-up view of Mount Everest. The flight takes 4 hours round trip, with stops at lukla<\/a> for refueling and at the Everest View Hotel (3,880m) for breakfast with panoramic mountain views. The tour is designed for travelers who want to see Everest up close without the time or physical demands of a 14-day trek. The helicopter lands at Kala Patthar (or a nearby safe landing spot) for 5-10 minutes of photography and acclimatization, before returning to Kathmandu. This is the most popular helicopter tour in Nepal and offers the most dramatic mountain scenery in the shortest time.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"Sharing helicopter flight as per itinerary\nAll helicopter permits and airport taxes\nExperienced CAAN-licensed pilot and ground crew\nOxygen cylinder and first-aid kit on board\nHotel pickup and drop in private vehicle\nComplimentary breakfast or champagne at viewpoint where applicable\nAll government and local taxes\nBreakfast at Everest View Hotel\n5-10 minute landing at Kala Patthar (or safe landing spot) for photography","cost_excludes":"Personal expenses\nTips for pilot and crew\nTravel insurance\nCosts from weather-related delays or cancellations\nAdditional landing time beyond itinerary","itineraries":[{"title":"Everest Heli Tour & Return to Kathmandu","content":"\n
