WHERE AND WHEN TO VIEW MT. EVEREST AT CLOSEST DISTANCE:

Himalaya Holiday Service Everest Helicopter Tour does not land at the Everest base camp, nor any helicopter companies. The landing at Everest Base Camp is not safe, due to its rough ground of rocks, moraine, and ice. In the past decades existed a temporary Helipad, but gets washed by the movement of glaciers, rock falls, and frequent avalanches. The other big reason is not eco-friendly it will cause disturbance in beautiful natural wonderful locations. The base camp is made of fragile ice, snow, and glaciers; the noise and sound of propellers. As well the main rotor blades will destroy the tranquilness of the pristine surroundings.

However base camp at 5,364 m high is not the best spot for views of

Mt. Everest. It is blocked and obstructed by the towering peaks of Nuptse, Lhotse, Lingtrin, and adjoining mountain ranges.

The right spot is a little above the small settlement of Gorakshep and near the bottom of the high Kalapathar rocky hill. It is also a historical place where the world's highest environmental day was observed on 04th December 2009.
