What are the Obstacles and Difficulties of Everest Base Camp Helicopter Ride?
Weather Conditions
Weather Conditions are a prime subject for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Ride. It must be a clear day to fly. The weather changes quickly in the mountains of Nepal. It can be a significant obstacle to the Everest Base Camp Landing Helicopter Tour at the right time. Sometimes, you must wait until the window opens or cancel the flight. If the flight cancels, you can try the next day (if you have time) or get a 100% refund.
Cold Temperature and High Altitude
It will be fine while flying towards Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar on the Helicopter. Still, altitude affects landings in Lukla, Hotel Everest View, and Pheriche. These places will be cold, so prepare to stay warm during the Helicopter stops.
Changing Rules and Regulations from Civil Aviation of Nepal
Travelers could land at Kala Patthar during the helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp. But there are some rules and regulations from August 2023. Civil Aviation of Nepal placed a notice with new laws and regulations for helicopter landings, which affected the Kala Patthar landing. You can stand at Kalapatthar and see the nearest view of Mount Everest if the aviation authority releases the subsequent positive notice. Still, suppose you are a 1-2 traveler taking a private helicopter flight to EBC and Kala Patthar. In that case, you do not have to change any suttles and land at Kala Patthar.
Wake Very Early and Expensive Cost
You must wake up early for the scenic Helicopter Tour to Everest Base Camp. While traveling on your holiday, you might celebrate the evening and sleep late, which can be challenging to wake up. It is an expensive tour for a short period, but of course, a memorable trip and reaching the world's top. A Helicopter Ride to Everest Base Camp is an expensive trip, just four to five hours of activity. However, it is the best opportunity for those who lack time and find it difficult to walk in cold and high altitudes to reach the base of the world's highest mountain.
Difficulties of Getting a Helicopter
The helicopters are busy with rescue missions and other proposals during the high tourist seasons in Nepal, making it difficult to get a helicopter at the right time. Also, many choppers supply climbing gear and expedition members in spring. There are limited hours for the pilot to fly to the mountain region each month, which means they are not allowed to pass more, and it will be challenging to find the Heli. The seats will be occupied earlier due to the vast flow of travelers, so we recommend you reserve your seat as early as possible.
The Hotel Everest View is on a hill station with an altitude of 3880m (12729.6 feet). Trekkers on their way to Everest Base Camp Trek hike to this place to prevent acute mountain sickness from Namche Bazaar. The yard of this hotel will be full of trekkers who want to see mountain views so that it will be busy and a bit uneasy. But you can share your flight experience with them here.

It is a comfortable way to reach Everest Base Camp from Kathmandu. However, a trekking trip to the base camp takes 12 days (8 days to go and 4 to return), starting with a short flight around 30 minutes to Lukla. You will walk through typical Sherpa Villages while trekking. Still, this Heli Tour perfectly reveals aerial views of those towns and other natural attractions.

The Helicopter does not land at the base camp because there is no permanent helipad due to melting glaciers. On the other hand, it does not land for the safety regions of avalanches and disturbance to the trekkers and climbers. Also, it is not a perfect place to see Mount Everest. Other towering peaks, Nuptse and Lola, block most parts, but you can just see the summit from the base camp. So far, the best landing spot during the Helicopter Tour to Everest Base Camp is the base of Kala Patthar Hill.
