Tenzin Hillary Airport is located at a height of 2860 metres (9383 feet) perched above a cliff. About 45 minutes pass during the initial trip, which lands at Lukla so the helicopter can be refuelled.

After refuelling, a second flight is to Pheriche from Lukla to drop off a few people. The shuttle's weight and passenger count is a primary thing to be kept under control in such higher altitudes to maintain safety. This second landing chance lasts for around fifteen minutes, which is ideal for taking in the breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas, taking some pictures, and taking a few seconds to acclimatise. There are a maximum of five passengers on an Everest Heli tour. This is the situation up till Pheriche. After pheriche, the altitude increases and the maximum number of people allowed is three per flight (over 4400 metres) and weight around 240 kg including luggage.

The price is inclusive of only 2 shuttles, and if it requires more than 2 shuttles each additional shuttle cost will be extra. You will be charged $ 500 per extra shuttle (which is shared by the group). Note: The group participating in the helicopter tour (two or more people) is not permitted to land at Kalapatthar by our government. Only your private trip with one or two persons can land at Kalapatthar if you wish to reserve the Kalapatthar Landing Helicopter trip. We apologize for the news of the inconvenience.
