Everest Base Camp heli tour with Gokyo Lakes in Nepal is an 8-day trip that begins with sightseeing of World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu followed by a very short trek in the world-renowned Everest region. The spectacular Everest region helicopter tour is a thrilling ride over the Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes and Kala Pathhar. Stopping our chopper at Kala Patthar and Gokyo Lakes and spending some time at these locations will truly enrich our Himalayan experience. From Kala Pathhar, we get excellent views of the Himalayas including Everest, the highest mountain on earth. In Gokyo, the pristine emerald colored Gokyo lakes are ours to admire. Additionally, we also get to see the beautiful Khumbu Valley, Khumbu Glacier and Icefall region. On our helicopter ride we will also get to admire outstanding views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse and other Himalayan peaks.
The helicopter tour is ideal for those who wish to experience everything in Everest but don’t have time to walk all the way to the base camp. ‘Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Tour by Heli’ also includes trekking for a little over two days so that we get to experience the true feel of walking on the trails traversed by famous men like Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary.
