Trip Facts

Your adventure begins with a private helicopter departure from Kathmandu, flying over lush hills, Sherpa villages, and dramatic Himalayan landscapes before reaching the majestic Everest region. Depending on weather conditions, aviation regulations, aircraft performance, and your personalized itinerary, your journey may include scenic stops at Lukla, Everest View Hotel, Gokyo Lakes, and other designated locations.
