Kathmandu to Khare helicopter flight introduction
Khare, also known as Mera Peak Base Camp, is the base of Mera Peak. Mera Peak (6,476 m/21,247 ft) is the tallest trekking peak in Nepal. Every year, many climbers summit Mera Peak.
Usually, experienced climbers who do not need acclimatization fly directly from Kathmandu to Khare by helicopter for Mera Peak climbing.
Similarly, many climbers also take a helicopter flight from Mera Peak Base Camp to Kathmandu after the summit. It allows them to avoid around 4-5 days of trekking back to Lukla.
If you have to travel between Kathmandu and Khare quickly and comfortably, the helicopter flight is the only option. In spring and autumn, we have regular group departures available.
Similarly, private charters are available throughout the year. Baggage allowance is also great in private charters compared to shared flights. You can easily bring all your climbing gear without paying extra for cargo.
