Lukla is well-known for its busy airport, which serves as the starting point for a variety of activities in the high Khumbu regions.

Weight Limitation Of Flying Helicopter In Everest Region

To maintain comfort and safety, weight restrictions apply to helicopters operating in Sagaramatha National Park. The helicopter can carry up to five passengers on a single flight, however its maximum weight limit is 500 kg. Maintaining the proper balance and speed during the flight depends on this. If the group’s combined weight is more than that, they will divide into different helicopters.

To make sure the helicopter operates within its safe operating parameters, weight constraints are carefully considered, taking into account things like engine power, fuel consumption, and aircraft performance at high altitudes. This gives everyone the window seat and optimal view of their surroundings while guaranteeing that safety regulations are upheld.

Furthermore, the tour will be divided into 2 and 3 for parties of 5 departing from Pheriche, guaranteeing each passenger a window seat with the finest view of Mt. Everest. Additionally, it is not necessary to land at Pheriche for singles or smaller groups departing from Kathmandu with one to three passengers.

In order to participate in this Everest Recession helicopter trip, please ensure that you have a day or two free in Nepal. The four main seasons in Nepal are winter, autumn, monsoon, and spring. You can take this EBC Heli Tour in any season. The best times to see the Himalayas and the surrounding landscape are in the fall and spring.

With careful consideration of the weather prediction and climatic shifts, one may guarantee this journey even in the winter and monsoon. Even during the busiest seasons—autumn and spring—unexpected weather changes can occasionally force the cancellation of a helicopter ride. It is therefore preferable to have extra days so that you can finish the Everest Himalayas journey the following day in order to deal with it. It is advised to avoid having a strict itinerary for foreign travel and Nepal residency days.

Helicopter Tour To Everest Base Camp Booking Process

We require a 20% advance payment, refundable towards the overall tour cost, to reserve your spot for our Everest helicopter tour package. A confirmation of your trip will be sent to you when you make a reservation for the tour using our online booking system.

Please be aware that card payments will incur an additional 4% bank service charge.

Take note:

i) The corresponding bank may charge a certain percentage on your credit or debit card; we have no control over this.

ii) Should the cash sent fall short of the requisite amount, we respectfully ask that you make up the difference when you get to Kathmandu.

How Long In Advance Do I Need To Book This Tour?

The EBC Heli Tour, also known as the Helicopter Tour to EBC, runs all year round. Since the helicopter only works during the best weather, the helicopter and flight tickets are only offered during the winter and monsoon seasons. However, helicopter trips to base camp are offered daily at the busiest times of year (fall and spring), and reservations for flights at short notice can still be challenging. For this reason, it is possible to secure a last-minute spot for this tour up to four days before the aeroplane departure date, however it can be somewhat inconvenient.

Booking this excursion months in advance of the departure date is therefore ideal; if not, it is advised to book at least 10 to 12 days before the day of the helicopter tour. This Heli Tour organisation process runs efficiently with guaranteed flight take-offs provided that the gap between the booking date and departure date is maintained. In rare circumstances, last-minute reservations are also accepted; these are usually accepted 24 hours before to the departure date.

RT Safety Notes To Travelers For Everest Helicopter Tour

Although it is irresistible to go by helicopter to Everest base camp in a matter of hours, worries over safety are understandable. When it comes to actuality, the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour has an excellent safety record.

In the twenty years since its commercial launch, there have been no fatalities reported on shared or chartered aircraft. This says a lot about the strict safety procedures that operators in the area have put in place.

By using their extensive understanding of the topography and weather patterns, the skilled pilots—who are only certified at high altitudes—manage the Khumbu Valley in a responsible and safe manner. Top-tier helicopters, such as the Airbus AS350 B3e Ecureuils, which are renowned for their safety features, dependability, and capacity to adjust to high-altitude situations, are utilised by tour operators such as ourselves.

Our dedication to safety is demonstrated by our stringent maintenance and inspections, which go above and beyond international norms, and go beyond numbers. Thorough, routine inspections reduce possible technical problems before they happen. Pilots with a great deal of experience flying in hilly terrain lead our chopper trip. Their diligent work ensures that you adhere to tight flight regulations while being safe and comfortable. A captain’s typical flying schedule ranges from seven to eight hours a day, though this can vary depending on the season and the weather.

In order to ensure preparedness, our passengers also receive thorough briefings prior to every trip that discuss safety features, emergency protocols, and possible outcomes. Operators put safety above profit, frequently delaying or rescheduling flights in the event of inclement weather in order to reduce needless risk.

You can skip the walking burden by taking this helicopter tour. You will be able to observe the Himalayan glacier, the Gokyo Lakes, verdant hills, and the stunning mountains that encircle the valley during the trip.

For those who lack the time to wander around or return to Kathmandu, as well as for those who are unable to continue hiking, this helicopter ride from Gokyo to Kathmandu is an excellent option. This helicopter flight from Gokyo to Kathmandu also makes emergency helicopter evacuation from Gokyo conceivable. On the other hand, you can travel to Gokyo by helicopter from Kathmandu, where you can roam around and take in the sights before returning to Kathmandu within the allotted time.

Best Season For Everest Helicopter Tour

There is a wide variety of weather in the Everest region, and each season has its own special qualities. Autumn and spring are the ideal times of year for this helicopter tour. The weather is often nice and moderate during this month.

The greatest month for a comfortable and breathtaking helicopter tour is during the spring season, which runs from March to May. The weather is often mild and consistent, with highs between 50 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. The snow-capped summits are visible with great clarity because the sky are frequently clear.

Similarly, the ideal time of year for this heli excursion is in the autumn, from November to September. The temperature ranges from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius (41 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit) during these months of steady weather. The Himalayas and the surrounding landscapes can be seen in breathtaking panoramic vistas from the mostly clear skies.

While spring and autumn are the ideal times of year for helicopter trips, these are not the only suitable times of year. The best days can also be those with bright skies and pleasant weather, excluding certain months.
