The cost of going to Everest by helicopter can vary depending on several factors, such as the destination (e.g., Everest Base Camp or a higher vantage point), the type of tour (shared or private), the tour operator, and additional services included. Here is a general overview of the costs associated with an Everest helicopter tour:

This tour typically takes you from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp (EBC) and back in a single day, with a stop at Kala Patthar, a vantage point offering stunning views of Everest and its neighboring peaks. The cost for a shared Everest Base Camp helicopter tour generally ranges from USD 900 to USD 1,200 per person. If you prefer a private tour or charter, the cost can range between USD 4,000 and USD 5,500, depending on the helicopter's capacity and additional services provided.

The cost for a shared Everest Experience helicopter tour typically ranges from USD 500 to USD 800 per person. A private tour or charter may cost between USD 3,000 and USD 4,500.
