Everest Base Camp Helicopter Flight Service

Mt. Everest [8,848 meters/ 29,032 feet], which is nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, where the highest peak point of land touches the sky, attracts thousands of explorers from all around with its breathtaking embrace.

Gokyo Lake Helicopter Tour makes your journey to these pristine lakes more easily accessible. Like the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, your aerial journey starts from Kathmandu; you don’t have to trek during this excursion and will return back to Kathmandu directly after completing the flight.

Kathmandu to Lukla Helicopter Flight Cost 

Kathmandu to Lukla Helicopter Flight is one of the most efficient and exciting ways to kickstart your remarkable adventure in the iconic Everest Base Camp Trekking trails. If you are planning your trekking in the Everest region during the peak seasons, there are high chances for your Kathmandu to Lukla flight to be rerouted from Manthali Airport at Ramechhap.

For this reroute flight, you will have to take a 4-5 hour drive from Kathmandu to reach Ramechhap, which means you will have to get ready for the drive at around 2 a.m. for the morning flight to Lukla. Thus, the Kathmandu to Lukla Helicopter Flight is the most efficient alternative to start your Everest Base Camp journey.

Also, as the Kathmandu to Lukla Helicopter Flight Cost is just around US$ 500 to US$ 600 per person, it will save a lot of inconveniences for just some extra costs than the regular plane flights.

Gokyo to Lukla Helicopter Cost 

Gokyo Lake Trek is undoubtedly one of the most incredible and memorable trekking prospects in Everest after the EBC Trek. Although the Gokyo Lake Helicopter Tour is a short and sweet alternative to experience the magnificence of the pristine glacial lakes, you can also book our 14-day itinerary package to explore the region on foot.

However, in case if you want to cut the journey short by cutting off the return trek, Gokyo to Lukla helicopter flight is one of the most convenient options. You can move along the popular trekking route of the Gokyo Lakes and explore the region, including the hike to Gokyo Ri [5,357 meters/ 17,575 feet].

Then, instead of returning on the same trekking route all the way to Lukla from Gokyo Lakes, you can hire our helicopter flight service to cut off the draining return trek part.

Gorakshep to Lukla Helicopter Cost

Everest Base Camp Trek is the dream and goal of almost every trekking enthusiast across the world.

Conquering the foothills of Mt. Everest is the dream of many. However, due to the high altitude journey that reaches the maximum elevation point at Kalapatthar [5,545 meters/ 18,192 feet] and the long trek distance of approx 130 km (80 miles), EBC Trek in no way is an easy Himalayan excursion.

However, what if we cut off the return trekking journey that will significantly reduce the overall difficulty level of this iconic Himalayan excursion? Gorakshep to Helicopter Cost, which is US$ 1,500, will ensure the comfort and enjoy ability of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dingboche to Lukla Helicopter Cost

Dinboche is a strategic acclimatization destination in the classical Everest Base Camp Trek. This Sherpa settlement at an altitude of 4,410 meters (12,661 feet) is the second acclimatization destination after Namche Bazaar [3,440 meters/ 11,2284 feet] on the EBC route.

Thanks to the strategic location before crossing the 5,000-meter altitude mark, Dingboche is a favorite resting destination among trekkers at comfortable altitude conditions. Thus, Adventure Great Himalaya also operates a helicopter flight back to Lukla from this trekkers’ paradise.
