In winter, the thick fog and mists may obstruct the visibility that it is difficult to do this tour. Besides this, you can never predict the weather conditions of the high altitude places. In rainy season as well, the heavy shower and unexpected fog and mists can be a hurdle for the flight.

You should be flexible for the delay, postponement and cancellation of flights due to unavoidable weather condition. Flying over Mt. Everest in winter and rainy seasons may not apt for those having very limited vacation. You cannot have the astounding vistas of the snow capped peaks, the Khumbu Glacier and the Khumbu Glacier in these seasons. Therefore, it is not much good idea to plan Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour in this time.

The best seasons for Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour are spring and autumn. The days are fine with the perfect visibility that you can have the 360-degree aerial view of the Great Himalayas. Flying to the Everest region in these seasons is the best idea to have the lifelong memory of the snowy peaks around Mt. Everest. In these seasons, there are multiple flight services from Kathmandu Airport. We highly recommend you to book you a trip to these two seasons.
