High Altitude Sickness during Everest Helicopter Tour

On Everest Helicopter Tour Altitude sickness might not be a problem because the Tour lasts for about 4-5 hours and exposes you to high altitude at Kalapathar (5,644M - 18,519 ft), the highest point during the Everest Helicopter Tour, where you will only stay for about 10-15 minutes for the photo and video option. Since you are going from a lower altitude to a higher one in a short of hours, it is normal to feel lightheaded while in Kalapathar, but this is not always the case.

Also, keep in mind that people of all ages can be affected by high altitudes. We have a track record of 70+ year-olds finishing this tour. Moreover, the helicopter will always have an ample supply of oxygen. When you are in an uncomfortable condition, the helicopter pilot will instantly drop you to a lower altitude, which is the greatest treatment for AMS. By the time you arrive in areas like Syangboche at the Hotel Everest View and eat breakfast, you will already be feeling better.
