Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Overview
You can only dub it an “Adventure in Nepal” when you have toured the Everest Base Camp. Following the victorious venture by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the Everest Base Camp has since been one of the most sought-out destinations for the adventure fanatics. As a result, thousands of tourists throng this sight each year. Normally, there are three ways you can reach Everest Base Camp: trekking from Jiri to Everest Base Camp, flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and finally a helicopter reservation from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp. The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is among the simplest and most enjoyable alternatives to get to Mount Everest Base Camp. Helicopter flights have become growingly favored as a mode of picturesque air travel. Travelling by helicopter to Everest Base Camp offers passengers a breathtaking aerial view of the landscape as a whole. Due to the limited number of passengers per helicopter ride, the tour will feel more personal and private allowing you to even have a chat with the pilot.
