Trip Highlights
Trip Overview
The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a convenient method for tourists to see the famous Mount Everest and the other Himalayan mountains from above. The tour usually starts in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, where travelers are picked up and taken to the domestic airport for a short flight to Lukla, a small town in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal. From there, the helicopter takes a beautiful route over the Himalayas, flying by snow-covered peaks, glaciers, and small villages in the middle of nowhere.
The best part of the tour is going to the Everest Base Camp, which is on the south side of Mount Everest at a height of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet). Mountaineers who want to climb the world's highest peak start from the base camp. Trekkers and tourists also like to visit this area. The helicopter will land at the base camp, where people can get out to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful views of the mountain.
After the base camp, the helicopter will fly in a circle around the mountain, giving passengers a chance to see the Khumbu Glacier and other nearby peaks. Including the flight and stops at the base camp and other interesting places, the tour usually lasts between 5 and 6 hours.
The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is not for everyone because it involves flying at high altitudes and may not be good for people with certain health conditions.

Trekkers Feedback
Safe and sanitary treks of your dreams
Buddhi Rai led my wife and I (and 9 other U.S trekkers aged 40s to 80) on a trek on the Tibetan Plateau (Mustang) and a elephant-and-rhino safari by foot and canoe in Chitwan National Park in October 2025. We took two other treks led by Buddhi to Tsum Valley (2022) and rhododendron trails near Annapurna (2024). On all three treks, his team put safety first and met each trekker's daily needs, including healthy meals/water and helping hands (and/or rides) when needed. We were introduced to Buddhi by his friend/mentor Sydney Frymire from the Washington DC area and New York. Sydney described her Nepal trek experiences in her (Amazon) book, "How a Cup of Masala Tea Changed My Life." Buddhi and many of his guides and staff come from near Basa, his home village.

Buddhi, Thank you so much for such a beautiful trip. It was lovely meeting you and sharing this experience with you and the team. Thank you for your guidance and coordination with everything. Until next time! Buddhi, I feel very grateful to have received you as a gift from Sydney. There is no need to forget. We will all need our time to grief and feel her memory. Once we are ready, we all will find a way to open the new chapter that she would have love that we all write together! See you soon! From USA.

“Buddhi has been our lead guide and organizer on three Nepal treks since 2017. He has impressed us as an outstanding leader with deep experience and an extremely professional and trustworthy organizer. On our trips, he handled the sometimes-complex challenges and unavoidable surprise situations brilliantly, always finding safe and sensible solutions. I would never choose a different guide for my next trek in Nepal. Ingrid & Hans Schulz” From USA.

Namaste to you Buddhi.
You were and will always be a source of inspiration to me!
Your way of walking “the path” … one step at a time was more than just “guide-man-ship”.
It has been a mantra for reinforcing my life every day.
I hope I return to Nepal as well. ❤️
My memories of the beautiful country and people are etched in my heart forever!
Next time a gentler trek! ;)…
I’m glad to hear your family doing well. Don’t forget to send those pictures from time to time! :)
Sending love to them and you! From USA.
❤️❤️❤️
