If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights This 4-hour Everest Helicopter Overfly Tour combines a guided day out with licensed leaders and a clear safety briefing before you start. You'll have time for the main activity, a simple lunch or snack stop, and the drive back to the city. 📋 Key Details Duration: Roughly 4 hours including briefing and flight Departure: Kathmandu or Pokhara heliport when confirmed Views: High Himalaya sectors on your chosen route Weather: Flights move if cloud or wind is unsafe Passengers: Weight limits apply per aircraft rules 🗺️ What to Expect An overfly of Everest stays airborne over the Khumbu: icefall, summit ridge, and neighbouring 8,000 m peaks without a Base Camp landing. Kathmandu takeoff and a scenic circuit are the whole product. Everest’s summit ridge, the icefall, and the neighbouring 8,000 m peaks stay in the window the whole circuit. Window seats and a commentary from the crew help you read the mountains. You are back at the heliport the same morning. You never land at Base Camp; the product is the airborne panorama and a morning back at the Kathmandu pad. 📍 Location Helicopter sectors start from Tribhuvan or Pokhara heliports when those flights are part of your plan. Ground staff handle weight checks and security before rotors spin. Check-in times depend on weather and aircraft rotation, so allow buffer around Kathmandu traffic on the way to the pad. Ground staff confirm the return slot before you leave the terminal. 👟 Prerequisites Carry passport copies and dress in layers for open helipads. Weight limits per seat apply and are checked before boarding. Insurance should name helicopter rescue or aviation sectors if you want cover for high-altitude flights. Tell the desk your weight in kilos before travel so the load sheet is ready at the pad. ✨ Why Choose Us You'll get a full pad briefing in Kathmandu covering weight, window seats, and the airborne circuit over Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. We share the morning plan so a cloud hold reaches you before you leave the hotel. This outing stays in the air over the icefall and neighbouring 8,000 m peaks, then returns to the Kathmandu pad the same morning. The same office that briefed you handles hotel transfer and would rather delay than circle in cloud. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and hotel drop-off in a private vehicle Helicopter flights not included in the standard package Government taxes and service charges for the tour ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers National park entry permit TIMS permit Breakfast at Hotel Everest View Domestic airport taxes included Travel insurance Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Sturdy footwear and layered clothing for the season Daypack, water, sun protection, and rain shell Passport copy and insurance documents for aviation or adventure cover Cash for tips, snacks, and local extras ## FAQs ### What should I wear? Sturdy shoes, layered clothing, and sun protection suit most day trips from Kathmandu or Pokhara. Leave valuables at your hotel when possible. Rain shells help in shoulder seasons even on short hikes. Briefings and equipment checks are part of the day rather than extra waiting time on the clock. ### Is transport included? Hotel pickup or a meeting-point transfer applies only when transport is part of this trip. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Share your hotel name and flight times ahead of travel so drivers can plan around Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### What if weather is poor? Aviation and wind sports move to the next safe window when cloud, wind, or visibility is marginal. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. The team contacts you as early as possible with another slot rather than pushing marginal conditions. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How long is the day? Plan about 5 hours door to door when transfers are included; shorter if you meet at the trailhead or airport. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. Briefings and equipment checks are part of that window, not extra waiting time billed to you. Door-to-door time includes transfers when transport is part of the trip. ### Do I need experience? No prior experience is required when pilots or guides control the technical parts of the activity. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Mention medical conditions when you reserve so the guide or pilot can advise on pace or participation before travel. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What is included? Guided activity, safety equipment, and permits for the day are included when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. Meals, tips, personal insurance, and optional extras are paid separately unless they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. ### What is not included? International flights, Nepal visa fees, and personal travel insurance are not covered. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. Optional video, extra jumps, or premium transfers are paid locally or as add-ons when offered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. ### Can children join? Families join when children meet operator age and height rules for the specific activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. Share children’s ages when you reserve so the operator can confirm height and age rules for that activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. ### Where do we meet? Pokhara lakeside or domestic terminal meet applies when your package starts there. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Exact meet times are confirmed once your date is set; allow buffer for Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that names your activity is essential before you travel. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. Read policy wording before you fly so helicopter, jump, or river activities are named if you need that cover. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/652c7d95-cff7-43ec-a310-1d4593fc14ba/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
