Everest Helicopter tours
by Sadeep Dhungana Tour operatorHelicopter tours to Mount Everest base camp.
Not everyone is able to hike up
to the base camp of Mount Everest. Some are constrained by time and some by physical
fitness. The good news is you don’t have to be limited to Everest base camp
hiking these days. There are regular and chartered helicopter tours to the Everest region
from Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.
Everest base camp is situated at
an altitude of 5335 meters from the sea level. Even the cost of trekking the Everest base
camp is not very cheap. One slice of bread near the base camp at the highest
bakery in the world might cost around 10 dollars. That is way more expensive than
the most expensive cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and any other European or
American. You can do the maths! If you are trekking for 11 days, it will cost
you way more than you would imagine!
Going up to the Everest base camp
also depends on the weather if you are hiking. Weather can get nasty anytime at
the highest mountain on earth. The packing list for Everest base camp trekking
can also go on and on! Everest base camp guide cost, insurance and whole lot of
other things make it very expensive and last but not the least the flights to Lukla,
they are not cheap either (around 500 USD round trip). All these things make
the trekking expensive. If you are short of time and have a group size of 4 (you
can join groups with other people as well) then Everest base camp Heli tours
cost is considerably reduced.
Everest for breakfast is a 3-hour
program where you would take a helicopter from Kathmandu to the Everest base camp
and have a 5 star breakfast at a hotel near the Everest base camp in Kongde.
