FAQs
  • Above 3,000 m to 6,000 m, but in certain circumstances, the Everest base camp helicopter tour has flown above 6,100 m on a rescue operation at Everest and other mountains. Further above 4,000m due to air pressure, the pilot can fly with less number of passengers, to make the chopper lighter to fly above the limit and average heights.

  • Helicopter lands at Everest base camp for 5 to 10 minutes only. Depending upon the weather pattern and busyness and activeness at base camp, base camp will be full of tents for different groups during high season for climbing. Staying longer is a risk of altitude.

    Excellent! Friendly and flexible

    Nepal travel can be chaotic, complicated and frustrating. So it is immensely helpful to have someone knowledgeable to help coordinate and guide your travels there. As mentioned by others, Yadab and his team are highly recommended - whether you are LGBTQ or not! Yadab went waaayyy out of his way to arrange our helicopter trip to EBC on my actual birthday, which was a dream come true. And as for local history and knowledge, Yadab holds degrees in archeology and is also a university lecturer. And did you know that he can read ancient languages including Sanskrit inscriptions? 5 STARS!

    Qualitative service, trustable travel option

    I could suggest Pink Mountain as qualitative and trustable choice for your travel plans to the top of the world. Yadab did a great job and all was well organized just as agreed before with options to make changes based on our own needs during our travel. He guided us as a friend and still feel like in totally private tour. well organized, good suggestions and explanation of Nepal culture, nature, and history. Yadab organized also our tour to Bhutan. We did a nice tour to Chitwan national park, Pokhara, Gorkha and other cities. Yadab organized also one day tour to Everest base camp and we take a heli tour challenge to Everest view hotel with nice breakfast and later flight near Mt.Everest. A trip to Lukla and Everest base camp probably was the most spectacular part. Wasn't cheap but I could say it was like a once a lifetime trip. Yadab and his team are definitely one of the choices if you want nice and trustable travel service.
