  • An unforgettable early morning helicopter journey from Lukla to Everest Base Camp, following the route taken by trekkers on their way to the world's highest peak; tracing the Dudh Kosi River through the High Himalayas, passing Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and Ama Dablam (22,349 ft). Most thrilling: A landing at Kala Patthar (18,519 ft) above Everest Base Camp offers a once-in-a-lifetime moment- SUNRISE OVER MT EVEREST-- plus close-up views of several of the World's Highest Peaks: Nuptse (25,791 ft), Lhotse (27,940 ft) and Pumori (23,494 ft). Next-- a flyover of the Khumbu Icefall - and then getting to see it all over in reverse on the way back to Lukla. Sadly, it was over in an hour- But what an hour! (My single regret: I wish the helicopter company had done a better job cleaning the windshield...)

    Great Video. I trekked to Everest Base Camp in 2012 and climbed Kala Patthar in the dark to watch the sunrise over Everest. It took us 13 days but it was worth it.

    Thanks for your fabulous video. In 2005 I took a fixed wing flight from Kathmandu and was able to see Everest, but my flight was at a much greater altitude and distance. I’d love to return someday and take this exhilarating flight.

    So if someone lives an honest, noble life then dies, and eventually gets to go to heaven, I think a version of it would be to get to fly a helicopter around Mt Everest every day and get paid doing it.

    • @lavkumar420
      @lavkumar420 Год назад +1

      But its dangerous as well. Helicopters are not very reliable.

    • @alexthai4957
      @alexthai4957 11 месяцев назад

      I was a professional pilot for many years and assure you that the mystical majestic feeling wears off around day 3. Then you're just a bus driver with a memorized path, a bus that just happens to fly in conditions and terrain where an emergency landing would likely end in death. Certainly not my vision of an extraordinary afterlife... Good day.

      You are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Everest is about mountains, snow and desolation, not aircraft and cell phones. Why not savour the special things about it, not the everyday detritus that you have brought with you.

    And to think, each of those tiny tents is around $100K paid to the government, just for owning a chunk of that mountain. I think Bill Gates should stop wasting money in farm land and buy that entire mountain.

      Without helicopters, there is no rescue, there are no supplies; there would be no humans being able to love this area, to hike this area, to experience this area. Best to show gratitude and respect to helicopters and to sherpas when in Nepal.
