Heli Tours

Helicopter tours in Nepal are a thrilling way to get around the country, see majestic landscapes from a different perspective and reach destinations without the physical demands of trekking. Fly past some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest, enjoy breathtaking views of glaciers, alpine forests, remote villages, temples, rampaging rivers and so much more.

One of the most popular heli tours is to Everest Base Camp (EBC), which saves at least 12 days of trekking. Many EBC tours include landing at Kala Patthar, a viewpoint renowned as the best close-up view of Everest. Other popular destinations for heli tours in Nepal include the Annapurna Range, Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda Lake.

Helicopters land at high-altitude viewpoints, allowing guests without the time (or physical capability) to trek there, to experience Nepal’s beauty first hand. Some heli-tours in Nepal include a picnic in a stunning secluded spot that most travellers never visit.

Given Nepal’s rich cultural heritage, helicopter tours include stops at ancient monasteries or temples. A visit to sites such as Muktinath add a spiritual dimension to your adventure.

Most heli tours in Nepal last between one to three hours, with safety ensured by experienced pilots, and guides creating an unforgettable experience. Private heli tours are a popular option with high-end tourists seeking an exclusive luxury experience. But shared heli rides are not as expensive as you’d imagine. Either way combining the exhilaration of flight with the unmatched beauty of the Himalayas is something you should experience at least once.
