Itinerary
You'll board a helicopter to Lukla here, after being shuttled to the airport from your hotel or a location of your choice.
A short helicopter refueling break at Lukla will give you time to adjust to the chilly air, marking your entry into the Himalayas.
You'll be split into two groups to adjust to the restricted passenger weight limit at higher altitudes. One group is shuttled to Everest Base Camp for a thrilling helicopter tour, and another explores the beautiful surroundings and waits for their turn.
The flight from Pheriche to EBC is a highlight in itself. You'll pass through glaciers, snow-capped massifs, and the infamous Everest Base Camp. After getting a picturesque bird's eye view of the base camp, Kala Patthar, and surrounding massifs, you'll be flown to Hotel Everest View. Kala Patthar offers the best view of Everest and surrounding peaks, a lot better than the view from the base camp itself.
Prepare to relish delicious breakfast at the highest-altitude hotel in the world. The terrace offers a sight to behold, with a spectacular view that looks like it was taken straight out of an artist's imagination.

We had the absolute pleasure of trekking to Everest Base Camp with Prakash as our guide, and the experience could not have been better. From the very beginning, he made sure every detail was taken care of—prioritizing our safety, ensuring we were well-fed each day, and making sure we stayed warm and comfortable after long hours of trekking. Prakash went above and beyond in every way. On icy and rocky paths, he literally held my hand to make sure I didn’t fall, showing not only professionalism but genuine care. His attentiveness and kindness made the journey feel safe and supported at every step. Thanks to his guidance, we reached base camp on day 8 exactly as planned, and the entire trek felt seamless. His customer service is truly the best I’ve ever experienced, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone considering this adventure. If you’re planning to trek to Everest Base Camp, Prakash is the guide you want by your side.
Just returned from an EBC trekking with Sublime Trails, what a wonderful and unique experience! Ram and his team Prakash (guide) and Laxman (porter) have been very helpful throughout the whole process. From booking and return and beyond! They literally took care of everything, so the only thing I had to do was enjoying the hike and amazing scenery. Hopefully I will return to Nepal for an Annapurna trekking with Sublime Trails, would definitely recommend them!
After Kala Patthar, my favorite part was the landing at Everest View Hotel, where a delicious breakfast awaited us with the stunning mountain backdrop. Sipping coffee while surrounded by nature's grandeur, it's hard not to feel a profound sense of belonging in this extraordinary landscape. What set the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour apart for me was its accessibility. Unlike the traditional trek to Everest Base Camp, this tour required little physical exertion and was suitable for a 56-year-old (yours truly). It's the perfect option for those short on time or looking for a more personalized experience of the Himalayas.
My long-cherished dream of witnessing Everest has finally come true, all thanks to Ram and his team. I don't have enough words to express how I felt throughout the journey. Ram made sure I had a fantastic window seat, which allowed me to revel in the stunning vistas of Everest and the Himalayas. It was a life-changing adventure, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sublime Trails for an unforgettable Everest experience.
What a wonderful visit to a great nation Napal and beautiful country Bhutan. Right from the airport Ram and team had us at ease, no worries. Ram then gave us the news wheee Gov of Napal Aviation had grounded all the helicopters “no more trips to the base” needless to say we were very disappointed. Me and my wife Sue discussed to turn around and just go to Bhutan but Ram and team worked tirelessly and coordinated a private helicopter 🚁 trip to Everest View Hotel and go upto 18000 feet, could not land but we saw the most majestic mountain in the world “Everest” it’s a dream come true. Never before we experienced something like this Way to go Ran love ya Qadeer
We’re just glad we chose Ram and his Sublime Trails team for the tour to Everest. Extremely courteous from the get go, they planned everything perfectly. I speak on behalf of me and my friends when I say this - we definitely recommend a heli tour to Everest, the scenery is AMAZING!! When you do it, choose Sublime Trails without second thought. Thank you again, Ram.
Ram and his team organised an excellent tour. Ram went out of his way, we went to Bardiya National Park to track Tigers, when we didn’t see any after 2 days he arranged and changed our flights that we could stay longer. I will recommend Sublime Trails for anyone. Malie and Anthoon from South Africa
Mount Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Sublime Trails was one of the amazing trip of my life. I was so thrilled to see Everest and other prominent mountains Infront of me. Mr. Ram from Sublime Trails offered me a window seat for almost trip and hence, I got amazing moments Infront of my eyes. The cost was affordable. Also, Mr. Ram sent a representative on my hotel to pick me up and drop me in the Kathmandu airport. After fight briefing, the flight went smoothly throughout. My photos from this trips are also amazing. I loved every corner seen from the flight. It was best moment of my life. I lived a life.
Thank you Mr. Ram for offering this wonderful trip for me at best rate. I am more than happy to share my helicopter experience. I lived the best day of my life. It was exactly the trip I wanted for long. The thrilling and fantastic experience of flying above the mountains were good. I'm still in awe with the beauty of Everest. Thank you Mr Ram so much. I wish to visit You and your company soon next year and go for a trekking. Till then, god bless!!
Like I said to Ram, he arranged me the window seat and my wife was super excited to be on the window seat. The surreal views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and many other mountains were very amazing. The entire landscape was unimaginable. Sublime Trails gave me this trip with best rate. I loved being on the group sharing flight. Everyone were joyous. The best adventure ever for me and my wifey. Wow!! Final thanks to Mr. Ram and his excellent tour management. Cheers!!
