Overview

An opportunity to enjoy the illustrious Mount Everest through the luxurious ride, Everest View Heli Tour might just be the one you are looking for. 

Through the Heli Tour, you have an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful mountains along with the variety of scenic views. There will also be an opportunity to interact with the local people which is a beautiful opportunity. 

Best Time To Do Everest View Heli Tour 

Like a lot of other tours and treks in Nepal, we suggest readers do this tour in autumn or spring. Although the tour is possible even in winter and summer the issue with flight arrangements could be the bigger problem. 

With the unclear weather, you might not get the right view of the mountains, rugged terrains, and the local beauty. Getting forbidden by the beautiful skies couldn't be the right thing to do. 

During spring and autumn though the weather remains perfect and you have an option to understand the beauty of the Everest region. With mild wind blowing you shouldn't pack a lot of clothes as well. So always choose autumn or spring whichever suits you.

Difficulty of Everest View Heli Tour

The answer to this question could be different for different people. Roving Nepal Trek would like to believe it is an easy tour. 

But depending upon the quality of the helicopter and the service the quality of the outcome might differ. Roving Nepal Trek never compromises on the quality for its clients, therefore you will get the best of everything. 

The maximum altitude attended during the trek is 3900m that too at Everest View Hotel. In case of emergencies as well all of the guides are qualified to help the guests. 

Cost of Everest View Heli Tour

It is impossible to predict the exact cost of the Everest View Heli Tour. The major reason is the quality of service that the guest wishes to acquire. 

The higher the quality of service the costlier the tour will be. If you are interested to go through with the fixed package of Roving Nepal Trek the cost will depend upon the cost list.

Allow Roving Nepal Trek to assure the readers that there are no hidden costs when we talk about the cost of this trek. Although the cost could sound on the higher side it is worth it with the total experience. 

Permits required for Everest View Heli Tour

Similar to a lot of treks in Nepal, this particular trek also needs some specific permits. Until you acquire all of these permits, it could be tough for you to do the Everest View Heli Tour. 

However, don't worry Roving Nepal Trek has got you covered. We will help you arrange all the permits so you can rest in your hotel rooms. 

Specifically, this trek requires Sagarmatha National Park permit, and also the Khumbu Rural Municipality permit. The Khumbu permit is required only for international tourists. 

Alternative Tours to Everest View Heli Tour

Nepal is beautiful and there are plenty of options to choose from when we talk about trekking. In order to fulfill your needs, Roving Nepal Trek brings you some of the alternative tours to the Everest View Heli Tour. 

These treks include the EBC helicopter tour along with the Everest Base Camp trek. Although the options for alternative treks are many, the cost and the time duration of the trek could differ which needs to be kept in mind. 

Booking With Roving Nepal Trek

There are plenty of good trekking agencies in Nepal that provide the Everest View Heli Tour program but Roving Nepal Trek is different. Other than the quality of the trek you have an option to understand the history of any place you trek. 

Decades of experience among all the staff along with the guides who know every inch of the country inside out makes us special. The past guests who have been part of Roving Nepal Trek will also talk about what we offer.

Everest panorama trek April 2023

My partner and I had an amazing time doing the Everest panorama trek with Basu as our guide. He was very attentive, informative, and great company over the 7 days. Everything was very well organized and he was able to adapt our plans and accommodation arrangements to suit the changeable weather, which worked out perfectly and we were treated to stunning views of Ama Dablam and the Everest range. We thoroughly recommend trekking with Basu and would do so again when we next get the chance to come to Nepal!
