When is the best time for Everest Helicopter Tour?

Did the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour spark your interest? Are you wondering which is the best season to get the most out of this tour? Well, we are here to clarify this topic.

The ideal time for the Everest Base Camp Heli Tour is undoubtedly the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) seasons. These seasons offer the best views with clear blue skies and favorable weather conditions.

As the weather will be harsh during the monsoon (June-August) and winter (December-February) seasons, exploring during these seasons is not recommended. Going on a helicopter ride during these times can even pose safety concerns. The mountains will also hide behind the thick clouds, and you won’t be able to make the most out of your tour.
