Overview
Imagine seeing Mount Everest up close without spending weeks trekking – that’s exactly what the Everest Helicopter Tour with Everest Heli Ride offers. Forget the blisters, the long hikes, and the basic teahouses; this is the VIP way to experience the Himalayas. Everest Heli Ride, one of Nepal’s top travel companies, has crafted this tour for people who want the magic of Everest without the grind.
Your adventure starts in Kathmandu or Lukla, where you’ll board a helicopter and take off into the sky. Within minutes, you’re flying over rolling green hills, winding rivers, and charming Sherpa villages tucked into the mountainside. Then, the real show begins – the peaks start appearing one by one. Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and finally, the crown jewel itself: Mount Everest, standing tall at 8,848 meters. The view from the air is unreal, like something out of a movie.
But the best part? You don’t just fly by – you land at Kala Patthar (5,545m), the legendary viewpoint that trekkers spend days hiking to reach. Stepping out of the helicopter at this altitude, with Everest right in front of you, is a moment you’ll never forget. Snap those once-in-a-lifetime photos, take it all in, and then hop back in for the next stop: the Everest View Hotel, the highest hotel in the world. Here, you’ll sip on hot tea or enjoy a meal while staring at the Himalayas like a living painting.
What makes this tour so special is that Everest Heli Ride takes care of everything. No stress about altitude sickness, no worrying about logistics – just pure, awe-inspiring adventure. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or as a family, this tour works for everyone. Maybe you’re ticking off a bucket-list dream, celebrating a milestone, or just treating yourself to something extraordinary. Whatever the reason, this is the easiest, most breathtaking way to stand in the shadow of Everest.
So if you’ve ever wanted to see the world’s highest mountain but thought it was out of reach, think again. With Everest Heli Ride, you’re just a helicopter ride away from the adventure of a lifetime. The Himalayas are waiting – all you have to do is say yes.

This was the highlight of my entire Nepal trip! The Everest Heli Ride team was punctual, organized, and very knowledgeable. The views from the helicopter were simply stunning — especially when flying above the Khumbu Glacier. We even had breakfast at Hotel Everest View! An unforgettable experience and totally worth the price.
