Nepal and Tibet are full of magic. The mountains are so big, the sky so clear, and the people are so kind. This article tells you about the Everest helicopter tour, the Makalu base camp trek, and the Mount Kailash tour. Each one is special. Everest heli rides are fast and give big views. The Makalu trek is long and wild; very few people go. Kailash is holy for walking and praying. These trips are not the same, but they all give me a heartfelt feeling. Nature, peace, and culture all mix together. You do not need perfect English or a big plan. I just need an open heart and a small bag. Let’s go step by step and explore.
The Everest helicopter tour is very good for people who don’t have time or don’t want to walk long distances. Helicopters fly from Kathmandu or Lukla and take you very close to Mount Everest. It stops in Kalapatthar or sometimes at the Everest View Hotel. From the window, you see big peaks—Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Everest itself. It’s like a dream.
Some tours land for a few minutes, take pictures, feel snow, and breathe cold air. Then come back the same day. The tour takes 3 to 4 hours only.
- Very short time
- No need trekking
- Best view from sky
- Luxury feeling
- Good for old age or busy travelers
- Pick from hotel
- Flight permit and tax
- Oxygen in heli
- Breakfast (if Everest View Hotel stop)
- Spring (March to May)
- Autumn (September to November)
No fly in rain or storm. Morning time is best, clear sky.
- Sit near the window.
- Take sunglasses
- Listen pilot instruction
- Don’t run at landing point
This heli tour is very famous now. Many people do honeymoon or anniversary trips in helicopters. The price is a little high but worth it once in a lifetime.
The Makalu base camp trek is a much less crowded trek. It goes to eastern Nepal. Start from Tumlingtar, then walk many days to reach Makalu base camp. This trek is very raw, very natural. Forest, river, and mountain—all big and strong.
Makalu is the fifth highest peak. On this trek, you do not see many people. It is not like Everest or Annapurna. The trail goes through Barun Valley. Very green and peaceful.
- Remote area
- Beautiful forest and animals
- Real camping feel
- See Makalu close
- Good for experienced trekkers
- Kathmandu to Tumlingtar by flight
- Tumlingtar to Num by jeep
- Then an 8- to 10 days trek
- Pass villages like Seduwa and Tashigaon
- Cross Shipton La pass
- Reach base camp at 4870m
Total 18- to 22 days trip with flight and trek. I need a guide, porter, and camping gear. Not many teahouses. Most areas need tents.
- April to May
- October to November
Monsoon and winter are not good; the trail is slippery, or snow blocks passes.
- Good trekking boots
- Sleeping bag
- Jacket and raincoat
- Medicine for high altitude
Permits are also needed—the Makalu Barun National Park permit and TIMS.
The Makalu trek is for those who want nature alone, silence, and strong mountains. Not for luxury, but for real trekking life.
The Mount kailash tour needs no explanation. Every year many Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bon people go there. It is not in Nepal; it is in Tibet. But I will start the tour from Kathmandu.
Kailash is a holy mountain. People do not climb it. Only walk around it—this walk is called “Kora.” Full kora is 52 km and takes 3 days. Every step feels like a blessing. Air clean but at a high altitude.
Also visit Lake Mansarovar. Big lake, clean water. People bathe in the lake. It is believed to remove sin and give peace.
- Center of earth in Hindu story
- Shiva live on Kailash
- Tibetan people also pray there
- One kora clean one life sin
- Mansarovar water very holy
- Kathmandu to Syabrubesi by road
- Enter Tibet via Kerung border
- Drive to Saga, then Mansarovar
- Do Kailash kora
- Return same way
The total tour is 13 to 15 days. Some do it overland, some by helicopter to Simikot, then fly to Tibet. Overland is cheaper.
- First day walk to Dirapuk (20km)
- Second day cross Dolma La pass (5630m), reach Zuthulpuk
- Third day: short walk end kora
- May to September
- Full moon time very good
I need a Tibet visa, permit, and guide. Tour costs include hotel, food, permit, and vehicle. The altitude is very high. I need 2-3 days of rest before kora.
- Take warm clothes
- Walk slowly.
- Drink water
- No alcohol
- Respect local culture
Some people cry when they see Kailash. It is not just mountains. It feels like divine power. Kailash kora is not easy, but it is a very big-hearted experience.
All three—the Everest helicopter, the Makalu trek, and the Kailash tour—give different tastes. One gives fast luxury, one gives deep trekking, and one gives spiritual peace. You choose your dream.
- Want quick mountain – choose Everest helicopter
- Want real trekking – choose Makalu base camp
- Want holy trip – choose Mount Kailash
All trips need preparation and some money, but all give unforgettable memories. You don’t need to speak English well. Just follow the local guide and enjoy every moment.
Everest helicopter tour – No night stay, but stop at Everest View Hotel for breakfast. The food is eggs, toast, tea, and coffee.
Makalu base camp trek – Mostly camping. Cook carries rice, dal, vegetables, noodles, and soup. Some villages have teahouses, but not all. Sleep in a tent.
Mount Kailash tour—the Tibet side hotel is a basic guesthouse. Food is simple—noodles, bread, tea, soup. In some places, there is no hot water. But good enough for a journey.
All three trips have good food if arranged properly. Just eat light in a high place.
- Drink clean water only
- Take Diamox for high altitude
- Wear sun hat and sunglasses
- Walk slow, no running.
- Always listen to the guide
- Pack medicine and ORS
If you go to Kailash or Makalu, you need to be fit and have a strong heart. Everest heli tour need not worry much. But even short tours affect altitude. Better drink water and sleep early at night.
Nepal and Tibet are lands of mountains, peace, and feeling. An Everest helicopter tour gives a fast and rich view. The Makalu trek gives a deep, strong, raw feel. Mount Kailash gives a spiritual touch and blesses the soul. You need no perfect grammar or plan. Just trust nature and the local guide, and walk with a smile. These trips are open-hearted and open-eyed. If you go, no one will come back.
Better not only see it on the phone. Better go and see with your own eyes. Mountains waiting. Are you ready?
