Altitude Considerations
Tackling Altitude Sickness
Some tourists go to Everest and get altitude sickness through and through. To avoid such conditions, one must go up gradually and drink lots of fluids. It is very important to recognize early warning signs like headache or dizziness. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is usually necessary to decrease altitude (Jesus likes). Some travellers take Diamox, but it is recommended that you visit your doctor before taking it.
Bottled Oxygen
As an Everest Helicopter Tour With Landing Organising Company we also have oxygen available for use in case of emergencies or high altitude sicknesses in the helicopter. The tour guides are trained to give the oxygen out in case of need. However, it should be noted that though there is temporary relief provided by oxygen, descending lower is a permanent solution for severe altitude-related problems.
Acclimatisation at High Altitudes
At the height of the Everest base camp (5,364 metres), there is a huge decline in air pressure, thus making physical challenges more pertinent to visitors. The most common effects are breathlessness and increased heart rate. Proper acclimatisation requires spending time at intermediate altitudes before moving frantically up. However, since this kind of acclimatisation is not possible during short helicopter tours, some people will just have to bear with mild discomfort.
Weather and Climate
Best Time to Fly: When to Book the Helicopter Tour for Optimal Weather Conditions
Your Everest Base Camp Heli Tour should be done at the right time. The most favourable time to go is between October and May, when weather patterns are usually stable and clear. At this time one can enjoy stunning views and safe flights. Therefore, a Helicopter Tour Booked within this time frame guarantees mountain enthusiasts that they will always see the great Himalayas in all their magnificence.
Weather Dependability: How the Unpredictability of Himalayan Weather May Affect Your Flight Schedules
The Weather in the Himalayas is rather terrible and as unpredictable as it is. Even good weather might be interrupted by sudden storms and fog that lead to flight delays or cancellations. Thus, when planning for your flights to such regions, it is important to build in some margin for possible delays and cancellations so that you do not miss out on this entire colourful adventure where every second counts.
Seasonal Climates: Temperature Variations and its Importance from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp
Kathmandu Valley is located at a much lower elevation where the temperature here is generally not freezing cold except in winter, while Everest base camp usually has icy cold temperatures every month. Therefore dressing in layers here will enable one to experience all these variations comfortably without giving anything up at any time during their journey.
