A day Itinerary:
We will pick you in the morning from Kathmandu hotel and
take you to Tribhuvan international airport by our representatives. We will
take you to private transportation. After doing check-in we will wait sometime
to clear the weather or open airport. As soon as the weather clear we will be
getting inside the helicopter to get ready for the journey of the helicopter to
base camp. We will be flying through the Bhaktapur city passing the world town
and then crossing the Nagarkot villages then to Junbensi village. Seeing the
Himalayas ranges and villages we will reach Lukla village which is situated on
2800 m elevation. We have Tenzing Hillary airport in this town and we will be
landing at the airport.
Lukla airport is also the fueling station for lots of
helicopters. The helicopters keep the fuel there and fuel it on the way back. We
will also keep some fuel on Lukla airport and ready to fly towards Namche
villages passing Phakding, Monjo, Jhorsella and Hillary suspension bridges. On
reaching Namche you can see the stunning village on the hill which is the
Sherpa capital called Namche village. Just above Namche, there will see Sangbochea airport. Big helicopter land there as transportation and some flights
too. We will just pass that airport and reach the Everest view hotel. We ill leave
two people there, if we have 5 people in flights because helicopter does not
carry full people on a high elevation.
After leaving some people we will start flying through the Tengboche
Monetary and Pangbochea village. We will pass Pheriche village then Laubecha
village. After that, we will pass Gorekshap and then helicopter land on Kalapather hill which is around 5380 meters elevation. This hill is known as Kalapather's viewpoint and its highest point is 5550 meters. This is the same
viewpoint that is climbed by Everest base camp trekkers to see Everest close.
We will get out of a helicopter to see the Everest and spend some time on Kalapather. We will click some stunning pictures and videos here. After spending
around half an hour we will fly towards EBC. Only very rare conditions
helicopter to land in base camp but most of the time it flies over the base camp.
Due to wind and glaciers move its always high risk to land on base-camp so, most
of the flights avoid landing on base camp to be safe. Like the same way, this
flight also fly near Khumbu icefall and fly very close to the ground of base
camp and fly back through Khumbu glacier. We can see some Everest trekkers and
in the climbing season, we can see lots of tents and people on base camp that’s why
during climbing season helicopters do not go close to base-camp because of risk for
tents and people on base camp.
After living the dream of seeing base camp and Everest close
we will fly back through Pheriche, Tengboche and land on Everest vie hotel.
Those who finish a visit to base camp start having breakfast on Everest view
hotel and the pilot fly again with other people doing the same things and
coming back then have breakfast and start to fly back to Lukla where we will land
and keep fuel on helicopter then fly all the way back seeing beautiful
mountains and hill. Land in Kathmandu airport and our representatives will drop
you to Kathmandu hotel where you stay, either in Thamel or around.
