One of the tour’s highlights is the flyover of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, a high-altitude viewpoint offering some of the best views of Mount Everest’s peak.

You’ll feel the thrill of being surrounded by some of the world’s highest mountains, including Nuptse, Lhotse, and of course, the mighty Everest.

Next, you’ll land at Syangboche, home to the Everest View Hotel—the highest luxury hotel in the world.

If weather permits, you can savor an optional breakfast at the hotel, soaking in panoramic views of Everest and the surrounding peaks. This stop allows you to experience the majestic Himalayan landscape in a relaxed, comfortable setting, providing a taste of high-altitude luxury.

After the stop at Syangboche, the helicopter begins its journey back to Kathmandu, with a possible brief stop in Lukla for refueling. As you descend, you’ll have a final chance to take in the incredible scenery, watching as the rugged mountains give way to lush valleys.
