Frequently Ask Question(FAQ)

Expand all

How long will the Helicopter Tour run?

Sure, the helicopter tour to Everest duration is around 2 and more than two hours. It starts and ends from Kathmandu domestic airport. It takes you up to the Everest Base Camp and return.

How long does a helicopter land at Kalapathar?

While the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour typically takes 4-5 hours, landings at Kala Patthar are currently not permitted. This regulation is in place due to environmental concerns and safety regulations.

However, the tour still offers a breathtaking overflight of Kala Patthar, providing incredible views of the surrounding mountains like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. This allows you to experience the grandeur of the Himalayas without landing at the specific location.

What is the weight limit of Everest base camp helicopter tour?

The weight limit for an Everest Base Camp helicopter tour is 500 kilograms (kg). This means the total weight of all passengers, luggage, and crew must not exceed 500 kg.

Important factors affecting weight limit and passenger capacity:

Helicopter capacity: The specific helicopter model used for the tour influences the maximum number of passengers allowed. While some helicopters might accommodate 5 passengers based on weight, others might have a lower capacity.
Passenger weight: The total weight of the passengers on board significantly impacts the available baggage allowance.
Altitude: As the helicopter ascends to higher altitudes, the air density decreases, affecting its carrying capacity.

Tour details based on weight:

Direct flight (up to 3 passengers): If the total weight of your group (including luggage) falls under 300 kg, you might experience a direct flight from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp (including a landing at Kala Patthar).
Shuttle flights (4 or 5 passengers): If your group exceeds 3 passengers, the tour might involve two short helicopter flights due to weight limitations at higher altitudes. The first flight typically lands at Pheriche, followed by a second shuttle flight to Everest Base Camp (including a landing at Kala Patthar) with fewer passengers on board.

Recommendations:

Confirm weight limits and capacity: It is crucial to confirm the specific weight limit and passenger capacity for the helicopter used by your chosen tour operator before booking.
Consult your tour operator: Your chosen tour operator can provide accurate information on the weight limit, potential shuttle flights, and baggage allowance based on your specific group size and the helicopter they utilize.
