i trekked all the way to everest basecamp from lukla and back in Dec 2019 which lasted for 16 days. one of the best experience i ever had. these mountains teach us about time and patience and growing strong will. watching this video from the top view brought back the good memories. cheers!
Same here Sir ..with my Daughter in 2004 before she went int the R.A.F.... It has changed so much due to climate change .. We walked from Mount Kailash to Everest base camp across kashmiri that was a bit scary both due to the terrain and political then across the Anupunar Range to Everest and kala pattar then across to climbed Island peak and into Tibet took us 100 days i am still there even now in my thoughts ..My Daughter went on to serve in Afghan and the middle east ..she's now a teacher in India after getting her English Degree she loves the people and mostly the children so much .
@@swostirajbhandari3617 For a start there are no cars so you walk..talk ,look around and see things ,you meet other cultures learn bits of a new language ,,does that start to make you understand . Take a walk up there i think you will feel a bit different when you get back
While the skilled pilot made this trip seem uneventful, the fact that flights in these mountains at such high altitudes carry a fair degree of risk makes this video that much more amazing.
Thanks for resisting the temptation to add music to a great vid. What a beautiful day. You were so lucky with the weather. In the mountains it can change almost instantaneously.
We once flew by heli from Kathmandu to Namche, back in 2008. These images reminded me of this amazing trip. We stayed at the Everest View hotel, walked to Gokyo, crossed the Chola pass and then did the EBC and Kala Pathar...
As you came up the valley the first time and looked up the Khumbu Ice Fall and saw Everest, it really puts it in prospective how tall the mountain really is. Great video.
So glad I found this video! As a pilot, I very much appreciated seeing the high altitude operations conducted @Lukla and along the route to base camp. The aviators are amazing--that's some nice piloting there, indeed!
I really liked this video. There was no stupid music, just a straightforward documentary of the trip up there. Also thanks for naming the various peaks, I had no idea what I was looking at. As for me, about all that I would ever want to do is to go to the base camp. Just to be that far is pretty great. Anyway, thanks for posting. Great job.
My advice to anyone thinking to trek to EBC is to also do the Gokyo Ri valley with the high mountain lakes - it will blow your mind crossing Cho La pass -- never to be forgotten !
such an amazing video, thank you so very much. At the base camp you could almost feel the helicopers struggle to fly. I can't believe people living so high in the mountains and so far away from everthing. The path along the mountains seemed to lead to nowhere and looked dangerous to me. What beautiful mountains, now I have been there and didn't even have to struggle :-)
Thank you, amazing video, loved it. The closest I ever could to Mount Everest for a city dweller. Admiration for the sherpa and those who climb the Everest.
Hello Tahir, I cannot tell you what a thrill this video is. I walked the Lukla to Everest Trek back in 1986. Your flight goes directly over my footsteps the entire way! I was near stuff I had no idea was even there! Bravo sir. I have watched it 3 times and there will be many more.
@@NewAdventuresChannel Yes it has changed but the trail and the stops are all the same! It is so enjoyable to see it from above - I remember it so well. Thanks again, I will look at your others as well.
I was just about to ask about the helicopters maneuverability in the higher altitude and I see where three people had to get off. I bet that is a bit scary. This is absolutely amazing. Seeing Everest off in the distance is an intimidating sight. Wow!! Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Thanks for not putting music. ....just pure sound of the helicopter engine. At 14:57 you can see: the base camp, khumbu ice fall, and a view of the Everest. Amazing that it takes less than 15 minutes flight one-way from Lukla and the trek is 16 days. THanks for the video and especially marking out all the peaks visually.
Walking there is a bit of a difference....was there in Jan.'82.Walking from Lukla to Kala Pattar.Couldn't reach it due to heavy storm.Brings back fantastic memories.Thanks for this beautifull video!
Wow! Amazing to see from the air. I walked that track over 30 years ago. Looks like Gorakshep is a small village now. There was nothing there but an old tent with a sign saying "Gorakshep Hilton" when I were there.
John Schweinberg: Back in the day we walked from Jiri. It took 3 weeks to walk to Kala Patthar and back down to Lukla. Above Lukla, it takes anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Less for those travelling light. Even Lukla has changed a lot. There was no paved apron, everything was dirt, chickens and kids running about.
Here are my hiking segments: Lukla to Namche Bazaar normally takes 2 days 1 extra day in Namche for acclimatization 1 day Namche to Pangboche (the last place with electricity where cell phones work) 1 day to Dingboche 4410m 1 day acclinatization at Dingboche, clim up the mountain on the north side up to 5100m 1 day Dingboche to Lobuche 1 day Lobuche to Gorak Shep to base camp 1 day at Gorak Shep climbing Kala Pathar (5500+ m). Return to Lobuche in the afternoon. 1 day Lobuche-Namche Bazaar (very hard in 1 day, but doable) 1 day Namche Bazaar to Lukla. This is also very hard, it took me 9+ hours. So I needed 11 days, but this is on the short side. If I ever go again I would add more days.
Congratulations helicopter pilot for the courage you have to do this unbelievable terrain, a place I’ve read about but didn’t imagine it was so beautiful yet so treacherous! Thank you wow
Truly incredible flying. The difference in the sound of the aircraft at base camp vice the airport was remarkable. The rotor blades were really working hard and breaking the sound barrier in level flight vice very quiet at the airport. Great Flying to the pilot and his ground team keeping the aircraft in the air!
Thankyou for this excellently filmed movie ! Absolutely stunning. The pan at the top marvellous. The Khumbu Icefall stunning ! and God be praised no music !
It’s so much fun to see areas I trekked so many years ago, much is still the same except Lukla airport is now paved and more developed and I don’t think Namche had an airport.
The glacier at 15mins -15:40 is something that the photos from the ground cannot convey. Fantastic. For all of us who cannot contemplate reaching this mountain, your video is such an awe-inspiring view into the world of this ridiculous / extreme challenge. Not for any but the most experienced and prepared. Hats off to Mallory and Irving and all their support/sherpa team to be of the first to have a real crack at the entire thing, after a long long walk to get there, pre-helicopters.
Great video, some really awe inspiring scenery. I'm watching this from about 1.7 miles (or a 7 minute drive) from where Sir George Everest's grave is. He was the Surveyor General of India from 1830 to 1843, and in 1865 the Royal Geographical Society renamed Peak XV, (at the time only recently identified as the world's highest peak), to Mount Everest in his honour. I believe the local name of the mountain is; "Chomolungma, Goddess Mother of the World".
Great Video, it was like being with the pilot. I'm a private pilot. Always been fascinated with planes and helicopters. But never flown in such beautiful places. Thanks for posting.
Thoroughly enjoyed the ride from the comfort of my couch in Bahrain!!! Natural sound was better instead of some phony music which most other uploaders keep.
Love the sound of the blades of the AS350 and the versatility of the helicopter. I believe this helicopter was able to hover on top of Mt Everest with one skid resting on its highest peak. The pilots must have logged thousands of hours traipsing and shuttling climbers between Lukla airport up to air accessible campsites as well as doing rescue operations. Thanks for not drowning out the sound of the turboshaft turbine and the chopping blades.
@@Grandizer8989 enroute base camp, yes. Summiting however is a very different animal. I went to EBC in 2013 and any thoughts I had of attempting to summit Everest went away permanently :-)
Tahir, congratulations first that you made a lifetime experience!!! Thank you so much for shared such a great and detail video of the scenic Everest heli ride.
The land of the Gods.. just about the most perfect video of this most. Famous of flights I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Pumo to is so beautiful Sagarmatha so imposing so amazing that 6000 meters here is plain vanilla. I get my shot done I go on that chopper.
Awesome video, brings back great memories, I was there in 2014. Hard to believe travel time in helicopter is perhaps 20-25 mins, and it took 10 days by foot!
Beautiful video and yes NO music! Was just there (Nov 2019) Everyone should know that while the video is great nothing compares to being there. The images are burnt into my memory. If you can, go! The people are great and the area needs tourist money. They are still a long ways from recovering from the tragic earthquake.
Thanks for the great video. Looking down from the air so many animal tracks are visible along the sides of the mountains and so many yak corrals that you don't see from the trails below. I was there when the snow level was below 14,000', so a very different look on the ground around Pheriche where you stopped on the way up. And yes, thanks for not adding music. And also yes, best comic moment: "Which one is Everest? The one in the back?"
No, they don't. But there is a Commercial from Airbus of a test flight which lands on Everest. If you didn't see it here is the link:ruclips.net/video/WXNXSvnCtKA/видео.html
@@NewAdventuresChannel thank you Mr Saban. I never see anything like that in my country. Canada. Where i live in Quebec City there is small moutain. You make me feel like i where in Nepal with your helicopter. You are a good driver. As good as the one who land on everest. Thats my feeling. Take care. 👏
I have flown the AS350B3 (like this one) and it's very powerful. However, going single engine over that rough terrain is something I rather not do. I'm sure those pilots know where the spots are to put her down in case the engine fails, but still, I'd be too chicken shit. The Nepal government should restrict cilmbing these nature beauties. I'd be satisfied just to go to base camp and admire the scene from a distance. Awesome video. God bless the pilots and the climbers.
I agree. Standards in Europe would prohibit commercial usage of single engined helicoperts. Even more, I had the Feeling that the ones flying here have probably retired in other countries :-)
@@NewAdventuresChannel Don't get me wrong, when, but when I flew for the military, we did some crazy stuff, that when I look back now, I'm amazed how we got away with such stunts, like landing on the apex of an A-framed house to drop off troops, or landing at an elevated hospital pad, all single engine, but now that I'm bolder, I get anxiety attacks just thinking about the "what ifs". I think the 135 and 145 would be a better choice for both redundancy and payload. I've flown both too. Retired now.
The chopers depart in Kathmandu, I joined in Lukla because I was hiking there. Per seat arround 1100USD. I recommend taking a ride in one that stops at Everest View Hotel for breakfast.
Does the chopper fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to Everest view hotel…..Kathmandu 1400 m Lukla 2846 m Everest view hotel 3962 m…what would be the cost per person…
@@zapfanzapfan My error, I am sorry. I thought your comment was to another video which I had posted. Yes, the base camp was empty. A sherpa told me that even the license fee is low in fall it was too cold in 2018 to climb Everest. I think this was also the case this year, I read of several groups which attempted Everest or Lhotse that they quit, because of a dangerous serac in the West Flank, which create an avalanche at any time.
No problem! Beautiful flight. I knew about helicopter tours flying over base camp but I didn't know they landed places along the way. But you were already acclimatized to the altitude so that was no problem? Good that they chose to stay safe. Don't need a repeat of previous years disasters.
@@NewAdventuresChannel You were there in the fall? When? 2017? It must have been out of season. 449 tourists summited in spring 2017 and 807 in 2018. I enjoyed the helicopter ride. Thank you!

I can’t believe how that chopper keeps climbing and climbing and climbing! That is INSANE!
That’s what helicopters do…
@@RegNarnoc21 ouch 🤕
That is how helicopter company earns money during rainy season in Lukla airport 😉
As you came up the valley the first time and looked up the Khumbu Ice Fall and saw Everest, it really puts it in prospective how tall the mountain really is. Great video.
Yes, for me this was the point where I realized why it is called "icefall". It is very high.

Wow! Amazing to see from the air. I walked that track over 30 years ago.
Looks like Gorakshep is a small village now. There was nothing there but an old tent with a sign saying "Gorakshep Hilton" when I were there.
How long does it take to hike to Basecamp?
John Schweinberg: Back in the day we walked from Jiri. It took 3 weeks to walk to Kala Patthar and back down to Lukla. Above Lukla, it takes anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Less for those travelling light. Even Lukla has changed a lot. There was no paved apron, everything was dirt, chickens and kids running about.
I think Gorak Shep is still "the end of the world". The lowest comfort, the highes prices and the coldest place to stay.
Here are my hiking segments:
Lukla to Namche Bazaar normally takes 2 days
1 extra day in Namche for acclimatization
1 day Namche to Pangboche (the last place with electricity where cell phones work)
1 day to Dingboche 4410m
1 day acclinatization at Dingboche, clim up the mountain on the north side up to 5100m
1 day Dingboche to Lobuche
1 day Lobuche to Gorak Shep to base camp
1 day at Gorak Shep climbing Kala Pathar (5500+ m). Return to Lobuche in the afternoon.
1 day Lobuche-Namche Bazaar (very hard in 1 day, but doable)
1 day Namche Bazaar to Lukla. This is also very hard, it took me 9+ hours.

Thank you very much too
Thank you very much for coming to visit Nepal and for helping to introduce Nepal's tourism sector to the world
I have flown the AS350B3 (like this one) and it's very powerful. However, going single engine over that rough terrain is something I rather not do. I'm sure those pilots know where the spots are to put her down in case the engine fails, but still, I'd be too chicken shit. The Nepal government should restrict cilmbing these nature beauties. I'd be satisfied just to go to base camp and admire the scene from a distance. Awesome video. God bless the pilots and the climbers.
I agree. Standards in Europe would prohibit commercial usage of single engined helicoperts. Even more, I had the Feeling that the ones flying here have probably retired in other countries :-)
@@NewAdventuresChannel Don't get me wrong, when, but when I flew for the military, we did some crazy stuff, that when I look back now, I'm amazed how we got away with such stunts, like landing on the apex of an A-framed house to drop off troops, or landing at an elevated hospital pad, all single engine, but now that I'm bolder, I get anxiety attacks just thinking about the "what ifs". I think the 135 and 145 would be a better choice for both redundancy and payload. I've flown both too. Retired now.
Wow, that’s truly amazing journey from Lukla to EBC! I really enjoyed it. How’s the total cost for round trip for all passengers?
The chopers depart in Kathmandu, I joined in Lukla because I was hiking there. Per seat arround 1100USD. I recommend taking a ride in one that stops at Everest View Hotel for breakfast.
@@NewAdventuresChannel Lovely
Does the chopper fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to Everest view hotel…..Kathmandu 1400 m Lukla 2846 m Everest view hotel 3962 m…what would be the cost per person…
Thanks for your beautiful Video
Thank you very much!
V nice view
Awesome work
Thanks
Thank you very much!
Base camp was empty? Was it the wrong season? The weather sure looks nice.
This is not the base camp, but base camp was indeed empty in November 2018. It was too cold I have been told to climb Everest or Lothse.
I saw the text at 14:54, I had expected to see 100s of tents there. Seems like a good time of year to visit to avoid the crowds.
@@zapfanzapfan My error, I am sorry. I thought your comment was to another video which I had posted.
Yes, the base camp was empty. A sherpa told me that even the license fee is low in fall it was too cold in 2018 to climb Everest. I think this was also the case this year, I read of several groups which attempted Everest or Lhotse that they quit, because of a dangerous serac in the West Flank, which create an avalanche at any time.
No problem! Beautiful flight. I knew about helicopter tours flying over base camp but I didn't know they landed places along the way. But you were already acclimatized to the altitude so that was no problem?
Good that they chose to stay safe. Don't need a repeat of previous years disasters.
@@NewAdventuresChannel You were there in the fall? When? 2017? It must have been out of season. 449 tourists summited in spring 2017 and 807 in 2018. I enjoyed the helicopter ride. Thank you!
