Safety Tips for Helicopter Tour of Everest Base Camp – What You Have to Know 

During the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, your safety is our biggest concern. The helicopter tour to Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5,545m requires our staff to follow strict procedures alongside airborne decisions. At Himalayan Dream Team, all our skilled pilots and ground attendants are trained to make your journey fascinating and safe.  

Make sure you go through the additional safety guidelines and tips below before partaking in the Everest helicopter tour.  

General Safety For Helicopter Tours:  

• All flights (even to and from Kala Patthar or Everest View Hotel) are dependent on the weather and pilot’s preferences. The captain has the final decision for all flight managements.  
• Due to wind, cloud coverage, altitude changes, the chosen flight path can be changed with little to no notice for flight and helicopter safety.  
• It is in your best interests to comply with the personnel commands and receive the pre-flight briefing.  

In-Flight Safety and Boarding:  

• Exit and entry to the helicopter should only be done through the side or front, and not the rear where the tail rotor is.  
• When in range of the aircraft, make sure to maintain contact with the pilot or ground crew.
• Always have your seatbelt on and do not unbuckle until you are directed to do so.
• You need to be seated until the pilot turns on the sign allowing you to leave the aircraft.

 Weight & Seat Allocation

• The weight of passengers on board a Helicopter affects the Helicopter’s seat configuration for balanced takeoff, landing, or stability.
• Please remain in your seats until the cabin crew tells you otherwise.
• In certain segments at higher altitudes (like in shuttles from Pheriche to Kala Patthar), passengers may need to be split into shuttles to make it easier to control weight.

General Conduct & Etiquette

• You are prohibited from smoking while near or in the aircraft unless the Captain of the aircraft allows you to do so.
• While airborne, do not lean out of the window or extend items from it.
• While the pilot is flying, do not interact with him during crucial times like while landing or taking off.

Additional Notes

• Hovering around the altitude of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar can make certain people mild Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS) sick so fly time needs to be kept short and make them aware if other conditions are too hard to bear.
• Difficult weather around the Everest region means that certain parts may be delayed or arrangements altered, we ask for your kindness and adaptability.

Important notes regarding the helicopter weight limits for the Everest base camp tour with Breakfast

While taking the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, it is vital for your safety that you understand how the weight restrictions work. Helicopter flights to certain areas at a higher altitude come with altitude and weight restrictions which are governed by lower air pressure, as well as safety measures that need to be followed.

• Maximum weight per helicopter flight from Kathmandu: 450 kg (this is a total of passengers and luggage). 
• Maximum landing weight at Syangboche (Everest View Hotel): 450 kg. 
• Maximum landing weight at Pheriche: 420 kg. 
• Maximum landing weight at Kala Patthar (5545m): 220 kg. 
• Because of how low Kala Patthar's weight limit is, 2-3 passengers can land at a time. To accommodate this safely for group tours, shuttle flights from Pheriche to Kala Patthar are done. 

Group Size Per Helicopter

• For each helicopter, 4 to 5 people (including children) can fly as the most. 
• For flight departures from Kathmandu, the total combined weight should be less than 450 kg. 
• For planning purposes, please give me your estimated group weight ahead of time to ensure we are able to prepare accordingly.
