- Tenzing-Hillary Airport - You will fly to Tenzing Hillary Airport from Kathmandu. There you can see the world’s most dangerous airport. This is the stop where your helicopter needs refueling. Thus, you can stop here for 10-15 minutes and enjoy the landing view of airplanes on the steep runway.
- Pheriche - This is the second stop of the tour. If you are a group of 5, then from here you will be picked up by two helicopter shuttles. This is due to the higher altitude. From Pheriche, only 2-3 people in a single shuttle can go up to Kalapatthar and overly Everest Base Camp.
- Kala Patthar - This is the vantage point for viewing Everest up close. Sometimes, the landing is allowed in this part, and sometimes not. So, we usually say that it is an overfly trip.
- Everest Base Camp - This is another iconic part of the helicopter tour. In Everest Base Camp unless there is any rescue operation, no landing is allowed. So, here as well you will be over flying. Don’t get confused, from Everest Base Camp you cannot see the perfect view of Everest. This is only possible from Kalapatthar.
- Hotel Everest View - This is the best part of this trip. While coming back from Kalapatthar you will be stopping at the Hotel Everest View. From here you can see the wider view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, and Lhotse. You can enjoy breakfast at this place with the views of these lovely mountains.
- Mount Everest - This is why you book this trip. You can get the perfect glimpse of Mount Everest from Kalapatthar. Even if the landing is not allowed, you can see it up close.

Flying tour for Everest camping - Our Everest Helicopter Tour with Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition was truly amazing. From the start, the team made everything easy and comfortable. The helicopter ride offered stunning views of the Himalayas. Seeing Everest up close was incredible.
Landing at Kala Patthar was a highlight—we felt like we were on top of the world with the snow-capped peaks all around us. The team’s hospitality was warm and welcoming, and breakfast at Hotel Everest View was a perfect end to the adventure. We enjoyed delicious food with the most stunning backdrop imaginable.
This tour is a must for anyone who wants to experience the magic of Everest!

Helicopter tour for Everest camping - I recently took the Everest Helicopter Tour with Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition, and it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. Flying over the majestic Himalayas and seeing Mount Everest up close was breathtaking. The beauty of the mountains is something words can’t describe. The highlight of the tour was having breakfast at Hotel Everest View, the highest hotel in the world. Enjoying a meal with such stunning views felt like a dream.
The hospitality of the team was outstanding. They made sure I felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. The locals we met were warm and welcoming, adding a special touch to the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nepal!

Flew to Everest Region - This Luxury Trip was the best I had experienced. We hired Bikram as our Guide from the company. And then we flew to the Everest Region. The breakfast was the best we ever had. The morning breakfast in the 5 star hotel and backdrop Himalayan as a background was amazing.
