2.Everest Base Camp: 3 Hour Helicopter Sightseeing Tour

Fly from Kathmandu toward Lukla and Everest Base Camp in a chartered helicopter limited to five people. You will see Namche, Tengboche, glaciers, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Changtse from the air, then spend up to 45 minutes at Hotel Everest View for tea or coffee. Nabin Pandey has handled guest support for some departures.

“Her şey olması gerektiği gibiydi. Bazı bekleyişler yaşandı elbette. Ancak hava durumu, havalimanının yetersiz durumları konuyu etkiliyor. Aldığınız tur sizi everest ana kampına götürmüyor. Lukla havalimanına sonrasında da everest wiew otele götürüyor. Yani aldığınız bu turla 3800 m yüksekliğe kadar cıkabiliyorsunuz ve everesti sadece helikopterden görüyorsunuz. 5 kişilik bir grupla seyahat ediyorsunuz. Arka koltuklar bir miktar sıkışık. Önemli nokta; eğer kalapathar gibi 5000+ bir noktaya helikopterin inmesini isterseniz rehberinize bu konuyu iletin. Lukla havalimanından sizi özel alıp o noktalara cıkartabiliyorlar. Yaklaşık 3 dakikalık bir kalapathhar vaktiniz oluyor bu fazlasıyla yeterli. ...”
