Dropping off from a AS350 B3 Helicopter from the height of 29500ft with the landing sites Syangboche Airport (12340ft) and Ama Dablam Base Camp (15,000ft), is undeniably the highest commercial aerial event in the world. CNN News Channel has ranked it as No. 8 out of 50 best Adventure Events organized throughout the world under the heading, “Try Before You Die” events.

Everest, along with other equally petrifying sister peaks, and the whole alpine experience can be a lifetime achievement. Following the success of Everest Skydive (2008), it’s being continued annually. Hundreds of skydivers worldwide have tried Everest Skydive with Solo or Tandem attempts since then. Everest Skydive 2012 added new heights to the history of skydive using an AS 350 B3 Helicopter, which not only performed drops over Syangboche Airport from the height of 23000ft but also made several jumps over a new drop zone at Amadablam Base Camp (15000ft).

Additionally, compared to other nations, solo skydiving is comparatively inexpensive in Nepal. Solo skydiving in Nepal may surely be taken into consideration if you're searching for a thrill and a feeling of achievement.

Itinerary (11D/10N)
When you land in Kathmandu, one of our representatives will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. After check-in, take some rest, or you can also explore the vibrant streets of Thamel. In the evening, we’ll also brief you about the trek, and then you can rest up and prepare for your adventure. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Before starting your trekking journey, we have set aside a day in Kathmandu to help you learn about the unique art, culture, and architecture of Nepal. You will be guided to the UNESCO-listed heritage sites in Kathmandu. First, you will be escorted to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where you can visit the museum, palace, its premises, and the temples built around it. Next, you will be escorted to the monkey temple – Swayambhunath. We walk up the stairs to the stupa. From the height, we can get an excellent view of Kathmandu city. Then, we visit a popular Hindu temple – Pashupatinath temple and head towards the largest stupa in the world – Boudhanath stupa. In the evening, we return to our hotel for an overnight stay.
Early morning, having breakfast, you’ll be picked up from your hotel, and we’ll drive to Tribhuvan International Airport for our scenic flight to Lukla. It will take approximately 30-35 mins from Kathmandu. Lukla airport’s runway is one of the shortest runways in the world, as it is located at the edge of Chaurikharka hill. During the flight, you will experience one of the most thrilling flights, with stunning views of the Himalayas, including the breathtaking peaks of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. And from Lukla, our Everest Base Camp Trek officially begins. There, we’ll meet our porters and start trekking to Phakding. The trail gradually moves down to the small village of Thado Koshi and witnesses an amazing sight of Kusum Kanguru Mountain. And crossing numerous suspension bridges to the small village of Ghat. Finally, an easy downhill takes us to Phakding, a beautiful mountain village. It is surrounded by tall hills on the bank of the Dudh Koshi River, a valley that lies north of Lukla. Overnight at the teahouse in Phakding.
After an early breakfast in Phakding, the trek begins along the peaceful banks of the Dudh Koshi River, passing through pine forests, prayer wheels, and small Sherpa villages. The trail crosses several suspension bridges decorated with colorful prayer flags, offering the first real feeling of being deep in the Everest region. Along the way, you will pass settlements like Monjo, where the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park begins. The route gradually becomes steeper as the trail climbs towards Namche Bazaar. One of the highlights of the day is crossing the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge high above the river gorge. On clear days, trekkers may catch their first distant glimpse of Mount Everest before reaching Namche. By late afternoon, you arrive at the vibrant Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar, surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, cozy cafes, bakeries, and mountain lodges. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
After a steady ascent from Phakding, you arrive at Namche Bazaar feeling the change in altitude and rhythm of the Himalayas. The acclimatization day here is an important part of the journey to Everest Base Camp Trek /Skydive, designed to help your body adjust before moving into higher elevations. From here, you get your first clear, dramatic glimpses of peaks like Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, and other surrounding giants. After soaking in the views, you descend back to Namche for rest and exploration. The rest of the day is relaxed, giving you time to explore the vibrant streets of Namche Bazaar, filled with bakeries, gear shops, cafes, and traditional Sherpa homes. You can also visit the Sherpa Culture Museum or simply enjoy the mountain atmosphere while your body adapts to the thinning air.
Syangboche at 3,780 m is the lower of the two Everest Skydive landing zones, situated on the small airstrip plateau above Namche. The trek from Namche takes about 1.5 hours on a clear trail with widening views of Ama Dablam (6,812 m) and the Lhotse-Nuptse wall. After settling in, the afternoon is a guided walk around the Syangboche drop zone: the landing area, wind-indicator positions and the sight lines to Ama Dablam Base Camp above. Your instructor reviews the jump-day briefing from Kathmandu and answers questions now that everyone is standing at altitude. A second pulse oximeter check confirms readiness. Overnight at Syangboche.
Jump day one. The helicopter departs Syangboche in the morning when conditions are assessed as clear: the AS350 B3 climbs to approximately 23,000 ft (about 7,010 m) below Everest, participants attach to oxygen, and the door opens above the greatest mountain wall on earth. Freefall lasts about 60 seconds before canopy deployment; the canopy ride of 5 to 7 minutes delivers you either to Syangboche (3,780 m) or, for those who chose the higher zone, to Ama Dablam Base Camp at 4,572 m, the ground high point of the entire package. A helicopter shuttle returns all participants to Syangboche after landing. Celebrations and debrief in the evening. Overnight at Syangboche.
rticipants who did not jump on day 1 due to queue rotation, or who booked a second jump, complete their jump today on the same helicopter profile from 23,000 ft to the Syangboche or Ama Dablam Base Camp landing zones. A second jump is available to any participant who wishes to repeat the experience, subject to helicopter scheduling and weather. The afternoon is free at Syangboche for photography, resting or a short walk toward the Hotel Everest View at 3,880 m. Pulse oximeter checks continue each morning; anyone with persistently low readings is monitored by the guide. Overnight at Syangboche.
Day 8 is a scheduled weather buffer at Syangboche (3,780 m), held back deliberately to absorb any delay caused by cloud, upper-level wind or other conditions that grounded the helicopter on days 6 or 7. If all participants completed their jumps on schedule, this day becomes free time at Syangboche: an optional hike toward Khumjung village at 3,790 m, rest at the lodge, or a last look at Ama Dablam's silhouette from the drop zone. If jumps remain outstanding, the helicopter resumes operations this morning. Overnight at Syangboche.
The return from Syangboche follows the same Khumbu trail in reverse: a short descent to Namche Bazaar, then down through Monjo and Phakding to Lukla, arriving in time for the afternoon or early evening flight back to Kathmandu. The descent from 3,780 m to 2,840 m takes about 4-5 hours at a comfortable pace. Tribhuvan International Airport receives you at 1,400 m; You will fly back to Kathmandu.
