Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is best undertaken during the spring months of March to May, and during the fall from late September to November. These periods are known for their clear skies, stable weather, and prevailing magnificent views of the mountains, which are needed for a safe and pleasurable flight.

The early mornings during these months are the best time to fly because the air is still and the views are very beautiful; these are the best times to see the Everest mountain range and the majestic peaks of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The monsoon season, which stretches from June to August, is to be avoided at all costs. The heavy clouds and rains are a sure way to the frequent cancelation of flights. The winter months of December to February are also best avoided as the extreme weather and snowfall reduce visibility and make flying very difficult. The helicopter tour is an amazing experience, and the best time for it is during spring and autumn.

Cost and What’s Included.

Your price will vary by flight type; shared group tours will be less expensive than private charters. You can choose shared flights for a more affordable option. Private charters can cost between $3,800 and $5,000 for a group up to 5 and give you flexibility and exclusivity. Shared flights will cost around $950 to $1,500, which is more affordable than a private charter.

What to Bring

Although the tour is brief, the high-altitude environment requires special preparation. Because it gets cold at Kala Patthar, warm and layered clothing is essential. You should bring a down jacket or a windproof jacket, thermal gloves, a hat or a beanie is also required. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen for the high UV exposure and snow that reflects the sun. You should also bring your passport (or a photocopy) and a camera or smartphone to capture the beautiful views. You need a refillable bottle and light snacks for the altitude.

Booking & Cancellation Policy

You can book a tour either online or through a travel agent in Nepal. To be on the safe side, try to book a few days in advance during peak times. When booking a ticket, 30%-50% of the price must be paid as a deposit. It is good to know that due to weather or technical reasons, flights may be re-routed, delayed, or even cancelled. If a flight is cancelled due to the weather, it will be refunded, and there will be options to reschedule. Last-minute cancellations closer to the departure typically within 24 hours may be non refundable, irrespective of the policy of the operator. Travel insurance that covers cancellation and delayed flights might be a good idea to get.
