This unforgettable aerial journey takes you to the historic site of the 'World's Highest Cabinet meeting' at Kalapatthar plateau in Everest Region, where on 4th December, 2009 ministers of Nepal Government held the world's highest cabinet meeting to raise concerns over the melting of the Himalayan Glaciers due to global warming. Your Everest Heli tour begins from Kathmandu airport with our AS 350B series of Helicopter. Moving eastwards, our helicopter flies parallel to the Himalayan range, allowing magnificent vistas of the soaring Himalayan peaks. After landing at the airstrip in Lukla for final preparation, the heli sightseeing to Kalapatthar will begin. The initial Kalapatthar heli tour part enables you to spend around 15 minutes taking pictures, exploring and viewing Mt. Everest and other surrounding peaks. Once we gather at Pheriche, we shall fly to Lukla and then we shall take the return flight to Kathmandu.

To get the most from your trek, and to stay safe, it is important to follow acclimatization guidelines. At Makalu Adventure, whenever possible, we follow the acclimatization formula set out by Drs Jim Duff and Peter Gormly; experts in Wilderness Medicine. "Above 2000m, altitude illness is a possibility and above 2500m it becomes common".
"As a rough guide, above 2500m the maximum daily height gain between sleeping altitudes should not exceed 400m, with a rest day every third day or after every 1000m of sleeping ascent".
"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".
