Best Time for Everest Helicopter Tour

The Nepal Ultimate Tour, including the Everest Helicopter Tour, Lumbini, and Pokhara, is best enjoyed during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer clear skies, stunning mountain views, and comfortable temperatures, making sightseeing and aerial photography ideal.

Spring is vibrant, with blooming rhododendrons, lush valleys, and pleasant weather, perfect for exploring Kathmandu and Pokhara while flying over Everest. Autumn provides crisp air, stable weather, and exceptional visibility of the Himalayan peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam, offering breathtaking panoramas from the helicopter.

Avoid monsoon season (June–August) due to heavy rainfall and cloud cover, which can reduce visibility, and winter (December–February) if you prefer warmer, comfortable travel, as temperatures can drop significantly at higher altitudes.
