Overview

Everest Panorama Trek Via Helicopter is a relatively quick and accessible way to explore the Everest region by combining moderate trekking with a scenic helicopter flight. The journey gives you direct exposure to the alpine landscapes of Sagarmatha National Park, including pine forests, glacial rivers, and diverse mountain wildlife. During this trekking and helicopter tourism journey, you also pass through the Sherpa settlements, allowing you to gain insights into their culture. The helicopter segment provides fast, safer access to major viewpoints like Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, greatly reducing altitude risks. The trip also includes time at Everest View Hotel, one of the world’s highest luxury viewpoints. 

Details 

Everest Panorama Trek Via Helicopter offers an accessible path to the Everest region and combines both trekking and helicopter tourism. The trek will give you insights into the alpine zones of Sagarmatha National Park, which falls under the protected alpine zones. This park comprises areas such as pine forests and glaciers with glacial rivers and mountain fauna. This trip to do trekking and tourism will also take you to villages where the Sherpas live, getting to see their way of life firsthand.

Another key plus would be the helicopter part of your trip. This allows you to access key viewpoints such as Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar.
