Spring and autumn are the best times for an Everest base camp helicopter tour. Springs and autumns allow you to see the majestic Himalayan views at their best. All the mountain peaks are distinctly visible during this time. You can also experience the clear and serene views of the landscapes and pristine glaciers. Hence, this journey is most favorable between September-November and March-May when the weather is good.
Regarding summers, June to mid-September offers gloomy, unstable weather and foggy views.
It is not possible to implement the helicopter ride during adverse climates when it’s raining, or the weather is too foggy. However, trips are still manageable if the weather is supportive during summer.
The Everest base camp helicopter tour is doable in the winter as well. December – February presents spectacular views of the mountains. However, there are lumps of snow over the trails and the weather is extremely cold during winter.
Everest base camp lies at a very high elevation which explains the unstable and frequently changing weather. However, the Everest base camp helicopter tour is only a few hours long, so the unstable weather should not be the reason to step back from experiencing the majestic beauty of the Everest region.
Nepal Big Mountain Travel strives to provide the greatest vacation experience possible. Hence, we recommend you pick the spring and autumn seasons for your Everest base camp helicopter ride since the weather is the most supportive, offering the best of views. Skies are mostly clear during these times, and there is less chance of precipitation. Favorable weather offers the best of views, and you can make the most out of your experience at this time. It will be a lifetime memory, so better do it in the best season when the weather is most favorable with clear views.
