Nepal's Premier Helicopter Tour Operator
Everest Helicopter Tour is a CAAN-certified helicopter tour operator specializing in scenic flights and landings in the Everest region. We operate daily scheduled tours and private charters from Kathmandu to Kala Patthar (5,545m), Hotel Everest View (3,880m), and Everest Base Camp (season permitting). Our fleet of AS350 B3e helicopters is purpose-built for high-altitude Himalayan operations.
Experienced High-Altitude Pilots
Every pilot in our fleet is a veteran high-altitude captain with thousands of hours of Himalayan flight experience. Our captains have collectively logged over 15,000 flight hours in the Khumbu region and are trained in mountain flying, emergency procedures, and passenger safety at extreme altitudes. They make the final go/no-go decision on every flight.
Safety First, Always
Safety is the foundation of every flight we operate:
- $5 million liability insurance on every aircraft
- Emergency oxygen systems installed on all helicopters
- Pulse oximeters provided to all passengers at Kala Patthar
- Daily aircraft inspections and rigorous maintenance schedules
- Strict weight management — passenger weights are verified at check-in for flight safety
- Real-time weather monitoring — flights are cancelled without hesitation when conditions are unsafe

Our shared-group seats make the Everest experience accessible without compromising safety or comfort. Private charters offer complete flexibility for photographers, proposals, families, and groups.
