Everest Base Camp Heli Tour

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is great for individuals who do not have enough time to trek for hours upon hours over several days. Similarly, physically challenged people with a desire to explore the world's tallest mountain can complete this excursion in a matter of hours. People may be curious as to how difficult exploring Mt. Everest might be. This sumptuous excursion, on the other hand, is for individuals who believe trekking is too strenuous for them. This exhilarating excursion offers up close and personal views of magnificent Himalayan peaks. The main draw of this excursion is the opportunity to see the world's tallest peaks up close, as well as other well-known summits such as Gourishankar, Cho-Oyu, and Lhakpa Dorje.

The Everest Base Camp helicopter trip begins at Kathmandu's Tribhuwan International Airport's domestic terminal. As the flight takes off from the airport, you'll get a bird's eye view of many of Kathmandu's heritage monuments. The snowcapped peaks begin to appear in front of your eyes as the helicopter proceeds towards the eastern side. For a short time, the chopper will land at an airfield to conduct certain pre-trip preparations. During the break, take in the sights of the Himalayan range that surrounds the Lukla hamlet.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour

I've just returned from a terrific helicopter tour to Everest base camp. It was a fantastic adventure. Because a private excursion was out of my budget, I scheduled a group joining helicopter tour. I appreciated the companionship of the other flying passengers. While waiting for the aircraft, we had a great time chatting and sharing a delicious breakfast at Hotel Everest View.

Incredible Experience !!!

This is a great opportunity for non-mountaineers to get up close and personal with the Himalayas, including Everest. You'd have the most amazing day of your life.

- Beverly J. ( )
Trekking to Gokyo Lake and Renjo La Pass is one of Nepal's top treks.

I recently completed a trekking trip in Nepal with Alpha Adventure Treks.
I visited the Everest region (Gokyo Lake and Renjo La Pass); they have a great guide and a great porter; I enjoy their employees (they are extremely friendly and smiling during the trip); their service is excellent, and the guide provides us with a wealth of information about Nepal and the surrounding area. Personally, I'm overjoyed that I chose this trekking company for my Nepal vacation.

A most memorable adventure in Nepal

Joey, our Kathmandu contact, was wonderful from our home in Australia!
He was always willing to assist us with our (many) queries throughout the road. We couldn't be happier with everything that was provided, from the accommodations and schedule to connecting us with a city tour and our incredible trekking guide.

- Tim A. ( )
Highly Recommended !!!

A terrific experience with a knowledgable and articulate guide who will take you on a comfortable and detailed tour of the attractions. The guide did not rush us or put us under any strain at any of the four stops. It was unquestionably the highlight of our trip to Kathmandu. Strongly suggested!!

- Robert Jr. ( )
Himalaya without the pesky walking!

Beautiful tourist spot on the outskirts of Kathmandu with views of the Himalaya from Annapurna to Sagarmatha. For the best chance of clear skies, go early in the morning. A cable car trip provides spectacular views of Kathmandu.

- Chris D. ( )
Best Short Tour of my Life !!!

Alpha Adventure Treks provided the best and most professional service. We went on a Kathmandu and Pokhara tour with them in March 2020, and they had excellent hotels in both Kathmandu and Pokhara. The driver was courteous and helpful, and all pickups and drops were completed on schedule. Alpha Adventures is a game that I recommend to everyone.
