Attraction Tickets in Kathmandu

I want to say to every person from West Africa reading this — Nepal is not far, and this helicopter tour is not only for wealthy Western travelers. I saved for this trip for 14 months. Standing on the helipad at dawn in Kathmandu I thought about those 14 months and smiled. Four hours later, having seen Everest Base Camp from the air and had breakfast at the world's highest hotel, I thought about those 14 months again. Worth every month. Worth every savings deposit.

I was scared to book this because of the altitude. I get headaches easily and was worried about being in the helicopter at 5,000+ meters even briefly. The Inticketo team answered all my questions patiently — they explained the brief exposure time at altitude, the supplementary oxygen on board, and the hotel stop at 3,880m as a stabilization point. I had zero issues throughout. The experience was perfect. Everest from the air is indescribable.

I'm 8 months pregnant and obviously couldn't trek. My husband went on the EBC trek last year and I was gutted to miss it. This helicopter tour gave me my own version of the experience. The views were breathtaking. Hotel Everest View breakfast was wonderful. I have photographs of Everest from the air that I will show this baby when they're old enough to understand what they almost prevented their mother from seeing.

I've wanted to see Everest since I was a child watching documentaries. My job doesn't allow for two weeks of trekking. This helicopter tour was the answer I didn't know existed. From Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp flyover in 4 hours. The emotional weight of finally seeing Everest — the actual mountain, from the actual sky, right there in front of me — was overwhelming. I did not expect to cry. I cried.

I came to Nepal alone after a very difficult year — a divorce, a job loss, a health scare. I needed something that would remind me the world is enormous and beautiful. Flying above Everest Base Camp in a helicopter at 6,500 meters before breakfast did exactly that. The world is enormous. It is beautiful. My problems are real but the mountains put them in their proper proportion. I came home from that flight ready to rebuild. Thank you Inticketo for the best four hours of a very hard year.

I came to Nepal for a yoga retreat and added the helicopter tour on an impulse on my last day. I am a contemplative person — slow travel, minimal tourism, deep experience. I wondered if a helicopter tour could deliver that. It did. Flying above the Khumbu in near-silence, watching the glaciers from altitude, the stillness of Hotel Everest View terrace with Everest in front of you — this tour has a meditative quality I did not expect. Extraordinary.

Five of us booked this together — a mix of fitness levels, ages and a grandfather in our group who is 74. The helicopter accommodated everyone perfectly. Our grandfather sat with the best window view and when we flew over Base Camp he was completely silent for the entire approach. At Hotel Everest View he said it was the greatest experience of his life. We all agreed. This tour transcends age completely.

I'm a landscape photographer and I've shot in Patagonia, Iceland, and the Dolomites. The aerial view of the Khumbu from a helicopter is a completely different photographic experience to any of those. The scale is impossible to capture fully but the attempt is extraordinary. Flying directly above the Khumbu Glacier with Everest filling the frame above — nothing in my portfolio comes close to those shots.

Private tour for my wife and I for our anniversary. The Inticketo team arranged everything — photographer at Hotel Everest View, a small anniversary cake, champagne waiting on the terrace. When we flew above Base Camp with Everest above us, I understood for the first time why people dedicate their lives to these mountains. The most romantic, extraordinary, overwhelming experience of our 15 years together.

I'm a professional film editor. I've spent 20 years in a dark room making other people's footage look beautiful. On this flight I forgot completely that I was holding a camera. Just watched. Just absorbed. Flying above Base Camp with the Khumbu Icefall below and Everest above — I didn't think about composition or exposure or color grading. I just looked. That almost never happens to me. The mountains have a way of making you forget your profession.

I had 48 hours in Kathmandu before flying to London. I debated whether to spend the money and am laughing at myself now for even hesitating. The pilot gave us commentary throughout the flight identifying every peak, explaining the climbing routes, describing the history of the Khumbu. It was part scenic flight, part Himalayan masterclass. By Hotel Everest View I felt like I understood Everest at a level that took some people 14 trekking days to reach.

I proposed at Hotel Everest View. She said yes. Mount Everest was right there in the background. I had arranged with Inticketo beforehand to have a photographer at the hotel and the photos are indescribable. Our guide had been subtly photographing us throughout the entire flight without us noticing. We have the entire journey documented including the moment above Base Camp. Thank you for making the greatest moment of my life perfect.

I booked this for my honeymoon. We did the helicopter tour on Day 2 of our Nepal trip. Flying above Everest Base Camp together, breakfast at Hotel Everest View, the private charter with just the two of us — the pilot was discreet and wonderful, giving us space and privacy at each stop. Back at our hotel by noon. That afternoon we explored Thamel. But nothing competed with the morning above the Khumbu. Our marriage started with the most extraordinary morning of our lives.

I booked this as a solo traveler on my first visit to Nepal with two days before my flight home. The sharing flight put me with four other solo travelers from France, Japan, India, and the US. By Hotel Everest View we were friends — sharing photographs, swapping camera tips, ordering extra coffee and refusing to leave. We have stayed in contact since. This tour creates community as readily as the EBC trek does. A remarkable experience.

I did the EBC trek in 2019 and just completed the helicopter tour. Both are incredible but for completely different reasons. The trek gives you the cultural depth, the physical achievement, the tea houses and the Sherpa friendships. The helicopter gives you the aerial scale — Everest from above, the glacier from altitude, the entire Khumbu Valley in one panoramic sweep. If you've done the trek, the helicopter shows you where you walked from the sky. Profound.

22 hours from São Paulo to Kathmandu. Four hours to Everest. Worth every hour. Worth every dollar. I have no more eloquent way to put it than that. Flying above Everest Base Camp changed something in me permanently. The scale of those mountains, the silence inside the helicopter as we flew over the Khumbu Glacier, the breakfast with Everest in the window. I came home a different person. Inticketo made it perfectly simple to access something completely extraordinary.

I'm 77. Arthritis in both hips. I told my family I wanted to see Everest before I died and my granddaughter found this helicopter tour. Four hours door to door. I sat in the front seat next to the pilot. When we flew above Everest Base Camp and I saw the Khumbu Icefall, I said a prayer. When we sat at Hotel Everest View with Everest in front of me I ordered coffee and did not move for 45 minutes. I have seen Everest. I am complete.

My daughter is a competitive climber who has dreamed of Everest for years. We booked the private tour as her 18th birthday gift. She spent most of the flight pressed to the window pointing at things — the Icefall, the fixed ropes visible in spring, the expedition tents at Base Camp. At Kala Patthar she asked the pilot to hover a little longer and stared at Everest's summit with such intensity. That girl is going to climb it someday. This tour gave her the view that sealed the ambition.

Booked this as a surprise for my wife's 40th birthday. She had no idea where we were going until we were on the helipad. The look on her face when we flew over the Khumbu Icefall and Everest appeared in the window — I will never forget it as long as I live. Breakfast at Hotel Everest View with Everest right there in front of us. Perfect in every way.

I came to Nepal specifically for this tour — 11 hours of flying from Paris for a 4-hour helicopter tour. People thought I was extravagant. I am completely at peace with that judgment. The aerial view of Everest Base Camp, the Khumbu Icefall from above, breakfast at the world's highest hotel — I would fly 20 hours for this experience. Some things are simply worth the distance.
