Itinerary

2hrs No

7-10am: Your journey begins with a scenic helicopter flight from Kathmandu toward the remote Kongme Dingma Valley, located between the Everest (Khumbu) and Makalu–Barun regions. After takeoff from Tribhuvan International Airport, the helicopter flies east over lush hills, rivers, and traditional villages, gradually entering the high Himalayan landscape. A technical refueling stop is typically made at Lukla, Phaplu, or Tumlingtar, depending on weather and payload. From here, the flight continues deep into the alpine terrain, offering breathtaking aerial views of Mera Peak, Chamlang Himal, Barun Glacier, Hinku Valley, and surrounding Himalayan ranges. The helicopter lands at Kongme Dingma, a remote high-altitude settlement used as a gateway for Mera Peak expeditions, Makalu treks, remote Himalayan adventures, and expedition logistics. Upon arrival, passengers are assisted with unloading gear and acclimatization considerations.
