Safety First

Your safety is our top priority. Flights are operated by certified pilots with extensive Himalayan flying experience. All safety protocols are followed before, during, and after the flight.

Amazing Experience - Professional Service Khare to Lukla Heli Shuttle

I booked the Khare to Lukla helicopter flight with Everest Sky Helicopter after completing the Mera Peak trek. The whole process was smooth from booking to the actual flight. The pilots were extremely skilled, and the views during the flight were absolutely breathtaking — I could see Everest, Ama Dablam, and the entire Himalayan range from above! The team was very supportive, kept me informed about weather conditions, and ensured a safe journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and avoid the tough trek back to Lukla.
