Weather Information for EBC Helicopter Tours and the Best Season

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour can be done at any time of year, however the optimal season is determined by your personal preferences. The weather and climate in Everest Base Camp, as well as the Khumbu region in general, varies with the seasons. Because the EBC Heli Tour is simply a one-day helicopter tour, visibility and good weather throughout the flight day are especially critical.

The spring season, which lasts roughly from March to May, is considered the optimum time to take a Heli Flight Tour to Everest.

The view of the mountains, not simply the hills, is also stunning in the spring due to the clear skies. The weather is also ideal during this time, with temperatures ranging from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius throughout the day and dropping to 0 to 5 degrees Celsius once the sun sets.
