Khumbu Glacier

See the Khumbu Glacier from the air — a broken river of ice below Everest Base Camp, the icefall as a staircase of seracs. A trekker on the moraine cannot match that as a panorama.

All three flights look down on it. The private tour names the glacier on the way past Lukla and Namche. The tour with landings flies the Khumbu valley after Tengboche. The breakfast tour flies close to the glacier on the way to Kala Patthar or the camp.

You do not walk the glacier and you do not rope up for the icefall. This is a helicopter view, then a landing at the hotel or a high pad.

The minutes over the glacier are the same circuit on all three tickets — the difference is whether you then stand at Kala Patthar. Stay on a landing listing if the ground stop is the point.

Book the private Base Camp helicopter tour and see the Khumbu Glacier from the air.
