Visiting Nepal, there are a lot of things to explore, but the main part, Everest can take little to no time within your planned days in Nepal. To make Everest possible, we introduce you Everest Heli Tour, a helicopter ride early in the morning directly to Lukla, Everest Base Camp, and Kala Patthar.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet). The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, which means “Mother Goddess of the World.” Join the Kala Pathhar to view the 360-degree view of mountains, including Everest (8,848m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), Thamserku (6,623m), Khumbila (5,761m), Kwangde (6,011m), and more!

This trip will be for four or more hours, given that the condition for the day has good and stable weather.
