The Experience

The flight takes you within camera range of some of the highest peaks in the world, and cruising this close to the awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice, is an out-of-this earth experience. The Chopper takes off and heads eastward and almost immediately, the peaks come into view. The first peak that appears on your horizon is the majestic Gosaithan, standing 8,013m tall. To its right, appears Dorje Lhakpa (6996m), looking like a massive figure of 8, lying prone and covered in snow. To its right is Phurbi Chyachu, which looms over the Kathmandu valley.

Next on your vision is Choba Bhamare, rather small in this company at 5,933m, but singularly stubborn, as it remains unconquered to this day. Then comes MT. Gaurishanker (8,134m), standing out sharp and conspicuous- Hindus believe that Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati protect this mountain.

As the flight moves toward the eastern Himalaya, a succession of majestic mountains follows. Melungtse, with a plateau-like top stands at 7,023m, Chugimago is at 6,297m, and still remains to be scaled. At 6,956m, Mt.Numbur resembles a breast, and is believed to be the maternal source in the sky providing pure mild to the Sherpa’s of Solukhumbu. Then, Karyolung, a gleaming-white mountain at 6,511m, and Cho-Oyu, the sixth highest in the world at 8,021m.

We Land at the Lukla Airport - 2828 mts, the Gate Way to the Everest Base Camp Kala Pathar. Here the chopper off loads the fuel carried for the return leg. At Lukla refueling facility is not available. We the fly off over the Glaciers over looking Mt. Everest. Fly off to Syanboche for a cup of tea or breakfast (cost not included) Continue to Lukla. Refuling time. Here one can visit the Lukla Village and then fly back to Kathmandu.

Everest Base camp

Over & above the above one can add landing at the “Everest Base Camp / Kala Pathar” – 5545 mts. To do this from Tengboche / Pheriche if there are 4 travellers, 2 travellers will be dropped off. The Chopper will fly with 2 Pax to the “Everest Base Camp / Kala Pathar”. Seeing the mighty “Mt. Everest” standing is awesome. The 306 degree sight of the Himalayas is breath taking. 5 mins is given due to the high altitude and the Rotars are not stopped here (Engine is kept Hot). The 2 pax fly back and the other two take the opportunity.

Happy Flying.
