Everest Skydive

World's highest skydive — 21,000 ft helicopter exit over Everest, Oct-Nov season.

About This Experience

Everest Skydive is the only operator in the world running commercial skydives above the Khumbu region of Nepal — at 21,000 ft from an AS350 B3 Ecureuil high-altitude helicopter, with an option to push to 23,000 ft on solo jumps. From exit you'll see Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Nuptse all in the same frame before freefall begins. The canopy ride ends at Syangboche Airfield (12,402 ft) — the world's highest commercial drop zone — or at Amadablam Base Camp (15,000 ft) on the extended option. This is not a "show up and jump" product. It's sold as a fully-catered 11-day expedition: fly into Kathmandu, acclimatisation trek into the Khumbu, ground briefings, supplemental oxygen training, and the jump itself on day 7 or 8. A shorter 9-day Base Camp Extension Trek variant is offered. Season is autumn only — October and November are peak. Tandem packages start from $25,000 USD; solo from $30,000. The operation has been running for over fifteen years with USPA-recognised staffing. The right candidate is an experienced traveller with high-altitude trekking comfort and either a tandem-jump openness or an existing skydiving licence. This is bucket-list territory, not a weekend outing — first-time skydivers should look at Dropzone Thailand, Skydive Dubai, or Skydive Sri Lanka instead. For those who do book it, no other operator delivers what this one does: the world's highest commercial freefall, above the world's highest mountain.

Aircraft: AS350 B3 Ecureuil helicopter (high-altitude rated)
