After leaving the fuel at the Lukla Airport, you take a helicopter ride over Everest and land at Kalapathhar (5,555m).

Capture as many pictures as your camera battery can by keeping the sparkling snowcapped peaks in the background. Enjoy the Khumbu Icefall and the Khumbu Glacier from Kalapatthar View Point as well.
