During the tour, guests will have the opportunity to make three notable stops. The first stop is at the Hillary Tenzing Airport in Lukla, named in honor of the trailblazing mountaineers who were the first to summit Mount Everest. This airport, located at a breathtaking altitude, provides a short pause for refueling before continuing the journey. As the helicopter glides over the Kathmandu Valley and the gentle hills, travelers will enter the Everest Region, home to the awe-inspiring Himalayas and the legendary Sherpa people. En route, passengers will be captivated by the lush forests, glacier rivers, and the bustling market town of Namche Bazaar, where mountaineering expeditions and trekking groups gather before embarking on their adventures.
