How much does an Everest helicopter tour permit cost? The Mount Everest Helicopter tour permit (Sagarmatha National Park fee) costs US$ 35, except for Indian nationals. Indian nationals must pay approximately INR 2000/- per person as the permit fee.

The tour will be a shuttle from Pheriche. It costs US$1,150—1,380 per person for all nationalities, including pickup and drop-off.

We'll land at different locations during the tour for other purposes: Lukla for refueling, Pheriche for shuttling, Kalapathar after we reach Base Camp to enjoy the scenic views of the Everest range, and finally, Syangboche for a warm breakfast.

We offer helicopter tours and adventure activities across the Everest region, including Mount Everest Base Camp.
