Overview

The Gokyo to Kathmandu Helicopter Flight provides a convenient and time-saving way to return from the high-altitude Gokyo Valley to Kathmandu. The Gokyo to Kathmandu helicopter journey offers impressive aerial views of the Gokyo Lakes, Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Valley, and surrounding Himalayan landscape.

For trekkers who want to avoid several days of trekking back toward Lukla, a helicopter from Gokyo to Kathmandu provides a practical alternative. As Gokyo is situated at approximately 4,790 meters, the Gokyo helicopter flight depends on weather, visibility, passenger weight, baggage, and helicopter performance. An operational stop or shuttle may be required depending on conditions.
