How safe is the Everest base camp Helicopter tour?

Unlike the 90s, these days, there has been the modernization of all the gears, weather forecasting systems, communication with travelers, and rescue facilities have improved a lot. However, there will be a lack of oxygen, but we have an oxygen tank in the Helicopter which you will adapt instantly if something happens. Otherwise, you are perfect. But overlooking all the difficulty, it is a lifetime experience, and it will change your life forever so, please enjoy the fun and tremendous thrill of the tour, if you are a nature and mountain lover. No worry one of any age can go to the Everest base camp helicopter.
The safety of the helicopter tour of Everest base camp depends upon many factors from the pilot, and helipad to the weather. The helipad at the Lukla is reliable and quite safe. However, the helicopter does not land at the base camp of Mount Everest as the base camp does not have a proper Helipad, due to the movement of glaciers every season of the year. In precise it is not safe and the base camp does not offer views of Mt. Everest as well due to the obstruction by other peaks. So, it will be landed at a grand viewpoint, Kalapatthar where one can enjoy the closest views of Mt. Everest at a mere distance. As we have mentioned the safety of the helicopter depends upon the Pilot as well and each and every pilot of Rising Adventure is experienced and knows the trail better and provides great service. So, one can feel safer and rely on them while traveling with them.
We operate the trip only after ensuring everything related to the Helicopter flight to Lukla. However, sometimes, the sudden weather changes, but our experienced pilots manage this situation very consciously as they are well trained, completed lots of rescue missions, and are used to this service as well as know the route very well. Therefore, we assure 100% safety and comfort during the EBC Heli tour with us.
More importantly, it is better to join the Helicopter excursion in the morning than on the second flight. From the point of view of safety, the weather is clearer in the morning and there is the rare chance of a first flight delay or postponement. In case of cancellation, your amount will be refunded fully.
Note: Spending more than technically allocated time may increase the risk of getting altitude sickness, so you will have a short period of spending time on top of the Kalapatthar. However, our Helicopter is there stand by, therefore, you do not need to be too conscious regarding any health issue.

The views of the Island peak from the flight are truly wonderful, and all the more memorable for a spectacular airy ridge climb to the top.
Imja Tse was a training mountain used by Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing in 1953 and the route they revealed is the same one that is used today. In fact, Island Peak is still an admired training peak for clients attempting Mount Everest because a lot of the skills required for crossing crevasses with ladders and using jumars on a fixed line are the same.

The main peak of the Ama Dablam is 6,812 meters meanwhile the lower western peak is 6,170 meters.

Covid-19 Protocols for the EBC Helicopter Excursion 2023/2024
Nepal Visa-on-arrival
On-arrival Nepal visa for Nepal has been resumed, though it was closed completely during the pandemic. Now, every citizen from the eligible country can get an on-arrival visa at the Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu. However, please check your on-arrival visa status before coming to Nepal as it is your own responsibility to obtain a visa. But, if those nationals are not enlisted under the on-arrival-visa category, they need to get the visa already before arriving in Nepal.
More importantly, there are some Health-related protocols of the Nepal government, Ministry of Health, and Population that every traveler from abroad should follow in order to enter Nepal. Some guidelines are as follows, though, they may be changed with time depending upon the Covid-19 issues because of the rise of omnicorn variant.
- Full dose vaccination card for Covid-19 if you are fully vaccinated at least 14 days before arriving in Nepal
- COVID-19 negative test report 3 days (72 hours) prior to arriving in Nepal
