Everest Helicopter Sightseeing Tour – 1 Day

Overview of Sightseeing at Everest by a helicopter

Everest Helicopter, Sight Seeing Tour  by Nepal Social Trek is one of the finest helicopter tour dedicated to those you want to unleash and experience the beauty of Himalayas within short period of time. Even on the clearest of days, it is considered rare to be able to clearly witness the point where the majestic Himalayas meet the silvery skyline. But with Everest Helicopter Sightseeing Tour, you might just be able to avoid the dreaded fogs and the aloof clouds guilty of defying the hopes of countless trekkers in their adventure to witness the world’s tallest mountains. Soaring above the Himalayas has never been a mundane journey but combine that with the shimmering tops of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,861m), Changtse (7,543m), Lhotse (8,414m), Ama Dablam (6,856m) describing the journey as adventurous or thrilling would be an understatement. The Everest helicopter sightseeing tour is not to be described by words or by listening to someone else give their account of the journey. It is the one to be experienced and we can’t wrap our heads around why someone would not. 

The journey to the world’s tallest Himalayas begins from Kathmandu heading towards the thrilling Lukla airstrip. The disappearing valley soon looks like a blot on the vibrant green and the countless landmarks like tiny specks on it. We land at Lukla to refuel and enjoy the fresh Himalayan air before heading towards the Himalayas unfolding before our very eyes. The sight of trekkers disappearing like ants on the steep mountain trail brings an odd sense of joy and hovering over Everest Base Camp the feeling reaches its peak. The Himalayas galore as far and wide as eyes can see Lhotse (8,414m), Nuptse (7,861m), Changtse (7,543m), Ama Dablam (6,856m), Cho Oyu (8,188m) and of course the majestic Mt, Everest (8,848m). Next, we make a stop at Kalapatthar which is also the best viewpoint to witness the world’s tallest Himalayas. Our journey ends back in Kathmandu after feasting on a heavenly Himalayan breakfast while admiring the beauty of the Himalayas. With all the excitement surrounding the tour, do not forget a copy of your passport.
