Because of its high altitudEverest’st’s climate is always aggressive. However, overflying to Everest Base Camp (5364m) can be done throughout the year if the weather keeps supporting us—Everest Base Camp, where we can find obvious weather every morning.

We can see that January is the coldest month of the year, where summit temperature can decrease as low as -76 F (-6 degrees- Celsius), and July is the warmest month of the year, where the temperature is 19 0F (-7 degrees- Celsius). Let’s dig in for the best season for a helicopter flight to Everest:

Everest Helicopter Ride In The Spring Season

As we know, the spring season falls under March, April, and May. Spring is the supreme season for helicopter tours because you can have majestic views of the Himalayas, colorful forests, and landscapes. The visibility of the surroundings would be excellent in the spring season, which has sunny and clear days. It is the second most considerable traveling and tour season in Nepal.

Helicopter Ride In The Autumn Season

The Autumn season falls under September, October, and November. Autumn is one of the best seasons for trekking in the Nepal Himalayas and doing adventure activities, including a helicopter tour. As this season falls after the rainy season, we can look at relaxed and clean surroundings. The excellent visibility of green hills, valleys, and snow-capped mountainous

Everest Helicopter Tour In The Winter Season

December, January, and February fall under the winter season in Nepal. In winter, we can find that hills and peaks are fully covered by snow, which is an appropriate season for helicopter flights. We can see the crystal-clear Himalayas, which are mind-blowing.

Helicopters this season are suitable, but the weather might not always be transparent, so it would be better to check the weather forecast before your trip starts from Kathmandu.

Helicopter Ride In The Monsoon Season

June, July, and August fall under the rainy season in Nepal. It is a risky season throughout the year, but it is possible to operate the helicopter flight during this season. The frequent changes in the weather in this season might affect the regular flights. We can have low visibility during the rainy season in Nepal.

Heavy rainfall and cloudy weather have also become severe problems. Therefore, we do not recommend helicopter flights during the Monsoon season.
