Lobuche to Kathmandu Helicopter Flight
The **Lobuche to Kathmandu helicopter flight** is a fast and scenic way to return from the Everest region after visiting **Everest Base Camp** or **Kala Patthar**. Lobuche, located at an elevation of 4,940 meters, is one of the final settlements on the Everest trekking route. A return trek to Lukla typically takes 2–3 days, but a helicopter flight completes the journey to **Kathmandu in just 1.5 to 2 hours**.
This helicopter flight is ideal for trekkers who are short on time, experiencing fatigue, or simply seeking a more comfortable return. It is also commonly used for **emergency evacuations**, especially in cases of **altitude sickness (AMS)** or injury.
The flight offers an incredible bird’s-eye view of the **Himalayan giants**, including **Everest**, **Nuptse**, **Lhotse**, and **Ama Dablam**, as well as sweeping views of glaciers, rivers, and remote Sherpa villages. It’s a truly unforgettable aerial journey.
Flights are usually conducted in the **early morning**, when the weather is more stable. A helicopter can accommodate up to **five passengers**, depending on total weight and altitude limits. Private charters and shared flights are both available. Light packing is recommended, as strict weight limits apply.
Bookings can be made through trekking agencies or helicopter service providers. On-demand and short-notice flights may also be arranged, depending on weather and availability.
Upon landing at **Kathmandu Domestic Airport**, travelers are either transferred to their hotel or connected to further travel plans. The **Lobuche to Kathmandu helicopter flight** offers a quick, safe, and visually stunning conclusion to the Everest Base Camp trek.

We decided to fly by helicopter from Namche Bazaar to Kathmandu. This avoided having to walk to Lukla and then having a long bumpy ride from Ramechhap airport back into Kathmandu. Also then we could get a flight from Kathmandu airport to Pokhara. All the arrangements were made by Easy Flight Travel. We were escorted up to the helipad and helped into the helicopter. I would definitely recommend Easy Flight Travel to anyone wanting to organise travel from Namche Bazaar

Raju from Easy Flight Travel is honest reliable and very friendly to deal with.
You can trust him to arrange a flight, recommend a hotel, or carry out safe honest mony change. What he agrees to will happen.
Highly recommended.
Raju was efficient and helpful in booking our helicopter from Namche Bazaar to Kathmandu and our flight onto Pokhara. He was there in the morning to escort us and to carry a pack up to the helicopter pad. The flight was delayed, but he waited with us and was in contact with the company, checking on when the flight would arrive.
