Shree Airlines helicopter. On a hill overlooking Namche Bazaar is the Shyangboche Airstrip (3,750 meters / 12,303feet). This is not generally used as its surface of loose pebbles makes it unsuitable for fixed wing aircraft, but it does enable visitors to reach Namche Bazaar by helicopter. Many trekkers get up before sunrise and walk up to the Sagarmatha National Park Headquarters near here to take in the impressive views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam (6,856m/22,493 feet)
