From Lukla, you will continue flying towards Pheriche. Once there, the group might be split in two depending on the weight of passengers on board.
As you fly to higher elevations the atmosphere becomes thinner which means helicopters will struggle to generate enough thrust to fly if the weight limit is beyond the load-bearing capacity.
At Pheriche, if necessary, the passengers will be split into two groups and the helicopter will take turns flying both groups to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar and back to Pheriche one after another. Enjoy the incredible mountain views throughout this stage.

What are things worth noting about Everest Base Camp Heli Tour?
Man and machine are dictated to the facts of a machine’s limitation for which it serves you well. The helicopter, which is a machine to lifts vertically into the air and flies forward, does so on the density of the air, hence lessening the air for the force to lift higher and less oxygen for the combustion of its engines. So the pilot has its limitations at these altitudes. So when the weather plays spoilsport, the tour might be canceled that day: it becomes dangerous or you might not get the proper fun of taking such a tour of iconic worth. Then again, you could either be allowed to land at Kalapathar or Everest Base Camp.
The first option is the Everest Base Camp, but that is only possible if there is landing space. Everest Base Camp is a busy place with all the activity going on. In that case, you land at Kalapathar and circle over the base camp. In whichever place the pilot opts to land, you step aground for about five to seven minutes for the apparent reason that places are at a height of more than 5,000 plus meters or 16,404 plus feet above sea level. Usually, it is when a person gets to 3,000 plus meters or 9,842 plus feet that he must acclimatize to the air level, else longer periods could turn out fatal. So, this is precisely why the pilot does not allow his passengers to stay longer. Plus, in case, you might feel the effect while flying, there are oxygen masks. Helicopters are not like places that can fly higher with no discomfort due to the cabins being pressurized. So the higher we climb, the colder it gets, please boot and suit, yourself for an extremely cold climate.
Since a tour of this kind can be canceled for precautionary measures to be rescheduled the next day, it would be advisable to have a few days on hand if you happen to be a tourist to the country. We hope you understand, that your security and comfort, are of utter importance.
The tour is led by highly qualified pilots who have years of experience in helicopter flights in the Himalayas. Breakfree Adventures will assign a government-licensed guide erudite with all the necessary information about the Everest Region.
We operate Everest Base Camp Heli Tour privately so that you don’t have to confront other people who might have different interests or attitudes.
