Gorakshep to Kathmandu Helicopter Flight - 3 Hours

Overview

With our 3-hour Gorakshep to Kathmandu Helicopter Flight, you can comfortably and elegantly cap off your amazing Himalayan adventure. This direct helicopter flight provides a safe, speedy, and picturesque way out of the high Himalayas, avoiding the lengthy descent and possible delays on the Lukla flight. It is ideal for trekkers who have finished their journey to Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, or nearby routes.

You will fly past towering peaks like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam as you depart from Gorakshep (5,164m), the highest point with a helipad close to Everest Base Camp. After that, you will descend back into the lush Kathmandu Valley.
