Your unforgettable adventure begins the moment you are picked up from your hotel in Kathmandu and transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport, where a helicopter awaits to take you on one of the most scenic flights in the world.

This is where you will have the closest and clearest views of Everest, making it an unforgettable moment to capture in photographs.
After marveling at the breathtaking Himalayan scenery, the helicopter will land at Syangboche, where a warm Sherpa welcome awaits you. Here, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast at the world-famous Everest View Hotel, one of the highest-altitude hotels in the world.
