Understanding Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp is in the Khumbu Region inside Sagarmatha National Park of Solukhubu District, Nepal. It sits 5,364 meters above sea level – the altitude of Everest Base Camp in Tibet is 5,150 meters. It is generally known as the lap of Mount Everest, from where the journey of the Everest Expedition begins. This means that Everest Base Camp is a location to prepare for the climb. Many mountaineers stay at Everest Base Camp for several days to acclimatize before climbing Mount Everest.

Besides, EBC is a perfect destination for adventure seekers. The rocky and sloppy terrains and the rugged landscapes offer a daring challenge to trekkers worldwide. Similarly, it is also a perfect location to have magnificent views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and many other famous peaks. Those who seek to experience a total Himalayan lifestyle with the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area are likely to get attracted to this destination.

History of Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp has a long history. In 1921, George Mallory attempted to climb the world’s tallest peak from the base camp, though he failed. Similarly, he led his second mission to climb Everest via Everest Base Camp; however, he never returned after that.

Later, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary summited Mount Everest on May 19, 1953. They utilized the trails from Everest Base Camp to reach the top of the peak. After that, Everest Base Camp became one of the talks of the town. Later, Jim Whitaker became the first American to climb Everest in 1963, which took the popularity of Base Camp to the next level. Since then, hundreds of trekkers and mountaineers have arrived at EBC to have the unmatched beauty of the Everest Region and its surrounding destinations like Gokyo Lake, Island Peak, Imja Valley, and many more.

Can I Go For Off-Season Helicopter Tour To Everest Base Camp

Going for an off-season helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp is not recommended, though it can be done by looking at the weather condition and climate. Here are some reasons why you should not undertake the off-season trip to EBC:

Weather Conditions: Off-Season tours are operated in Summer and Winter seasons, and these times are considered dangerous for helicopter flights. During the summer, a monsoon hits the Everest Region, bringing heavy rainfall and thick clouds in the sky. The rainfall and the clouds make visibility challenging, which is the primary reason not to take heli-rides. It can also challenge the aircraft’s performance.

Similarly, during winter, Everest Region features heavy snowfall, bringing freezing temperatures below 0 Degrees Celsius. Freezing temperature is a prime reason for a lagged aircraft’s performance. It can also be very dangerous for travelers since they can suffer from altitude sickness because the helicopter flies more than 5000 meters in altitude.

Safety Concerns: The harsh weather condition increases the risk of accidents. Reduced visibility, icing on the aircraft, and unpredictable weather patterns are some concerns you might encounter during the off-season tour to Everest Base Camp.

Limited Support Service: In emergencies, Helicopter should be landed at a safe place, but during the off-season tour, it is very challenging to spot the safe place. It is due to the lack of visibility and the helicopter’s performance. Similarly, the support service operates their task minimally because of the unpredicted weather conditions, so if anyone runs in an emergency, there is less chance of rescuing.

Restricted Flight Operations: The helicopter services are all managed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. And it is no wonder they impose restrictions on the off-season helicopter tours to EBC due to safety issues. These restrictions include reduced flight frequencies, limitations on landing sites, or complete suspension of flights.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Cost

For your advance information, EBC Helicopter Tour is a luxury tour, and it requires a hefty sum of budget to embark on it. The average cost of a helicopter tour starts from $1000 per person if you are in a group. The lowest cost in a group of 5 people is around $900 per person. If the group size is small, the price gets hiked up; here is a list of the average price per person in a group.

1 Passenger	$3500-$4000
2 Passenger	$2000-$2500
3 Passenger	$1300-$1500
4 Passenger	$1000-$1200
5 Passenger	$800-$900

The price for one person is very high since it is a private chartered flight in a helicopter. There is also a provision for booking a chartered flight to Everest Base Camp, which offers a customizable service. These packages are sophisticated and handy but also pricy.

Trekking vs. Helicopter Tour: Pros and cons

It’s up to the traveler to choose whether to take on an Everest Helicopter Tour Package or indulge in a trekking experience. It depends upon their choice, preference, and interest in what they seek from the Mount Everest Helicopter Tour. While trekking takes you through a more immersive and physically challenging experience, Helicopter Tour will be calm and convenient. But both of these options come with pros and cons. Here is a detailed explanation of the Trekking vs. Everest Helicopter Tour.

Trekking Pros:

• Immersive Experience: As said earlier, Everest Base Camp Trek is adventurous; it allows trekkers to immerse in the natural beauty and cultural experience of the Khumbu Region. Trekkers can visit the local community and delve deep into the people, lifestyle, and livelihood. The views of Mt. Everest with other subsidiary peaks are magnificent experiences you will get while trekking.

• Cultural Experience: Everest Region is rich in diverse people, cultures, languages, and customs. Trekkers can be involved in cross-cultural activities by visiting the local Sherpa settlements, monasteries, and temples and getting insights into their religious values.

Trekking Cons:

• Physical Challenge: Everest Base Camp Trekking Package is a multi-day package comprising rocky and rugged remote terrain requiring high efficiency and fitness.

• Time-Consuming: EBC Trek consumes more than two weeks. Since the EBC Trail stretches from Lukla to Base Camp, it cannot be completed within a day. The average time to complete this trek is around 14 days.

Everest Helicopter Tour Pros:

• Time-Saving: Everest Helicopter Tour can be completed within a day, just hours. Travelers can book their flight, initiate their journey from Kathmandu, and fly to Lukla first. They will round up the Everest Region from there, touching Kala Patthar.

• Bird-Eye View: Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Package offers an unforgettable bird-eye view from the helicopter's window. The views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest and peaks from the Mahalangur Range, lush green forest, and local settlements, are praise-worthy.

Everest Helicopter Tour Cons:

• Price Tag: Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Package is a luxury tour package that requires more than $1000 per person. And if you are looking for a chartered flight to this destination, the price can be even more.

• Passive Medium of Tour: Mount Everest Helicopter Tour is a passive medium of touring around the Everest Region. There will be little contact with the local people, and the interaction with them will be minimal. So there is less chance of cross-cultural activities and knowing the people, their lifestyle, and culture.

Conclusion

Overall, Mount Everest Helicopter Tour or Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour Package offers you a lifetime memorable chance to explore the beauty of the Nepalese Himalayas.
