About this Event
A helicopter flight is the fastest and most scenic way to reach Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary Airport), the gateway to the Everest region. Unlike fixed-wing planes, helicopters fly directly from Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport (or nearby helipads) to Lukla in just 35–45 minutes, avoiding the unpredictable weather delays that often plague regular flights
Perfect for trekkers short on time, those worried about flight cancellations, or anyone wanting an unforgettable introduction to the Everest region from the air
Key Highlights
- Duration: 35–45 minutes (vs 25–40 min by plane, but with far fewer cancellations)

- Capacity: Usually 5 passengers + luggage (total weight limit ~500 kg including bags)
