Activity 3 : Lukla to Everest Base Camp
The actual exploration of the beauty of the Everest region begins with a flight over the Khumbu region as the Heli takes off from Lukla. You will come across aerial views of Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche before finally reaching to the area of Everest base camp. Highlights of this particular Heli-ride include a close-up view of Everest and other neighboring peaks. You will most likely catch a glimpse of peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and more. The Heli-ride will take a short stop at Kalapathar (depending on the government Rules) at an altitude of 5634 meters (17598 feet).
