How Safe is the Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu to Namche?

Well, Everest Assistance has been organizing and operating safe helicopter tours in the Everest regions for many years now. We have well-trained pilots with advanced knowledge on the latest technologies and ideas.

One of the major difficulty during the Helicopter tours is the unexpected weather change. Sometimes in Everest, a good weather day is suddenly followed by tough weather conditions like strong winds, rainfalls, snowfalls, etc. This can happen at any time of the year but is frequent during off seasons (winter and monsoon).

In such cases, flying a helicopter is not safe. So, if you are in the air the helicopter must land somewhere. There are various places with safely constructed helipads where the helicopter can do emergency landings.

Our pilots exactly know what to do and where to land in such cases. So, you don’t have to worry at all. Your safety and comfort is our concern.
