First Helicopter Lands on Mount Everest

Written by admin


Can you believe it?! Thats Everest Summit in view!

Click Here to see photos and a short video of the first helicopter landing on Evertest Summit I covered on Wednesday last. It’s well worth the viewing…

So now I want to know.. whens the first tourist trip?!

I have to say, in my book, this as big as the first ascent, or the first ascent without oxygen. Think about it, previously you had only one option, walk there. Which made it so special. The idea that you could now be brought, and hop out at the top (aclimatisation is a different story), is just scary.

I have to say, I’d give anythign to be on thatfirst landing. Like landing on the moon. Can’t believe it didn’t get more press.

Loads of Photos and Great video
