My Everest helicopter tour

That could be arranged. A crew who did climb up could be standing by.

Here’s an alternative to a helicopter tour. Not for the faint of heart.

Those who do climb up often have their hands full just getting themselves down promptly and safely.

Yes, but it could be done, for the right price.

Or shallow of pocket: $22K for a jump from 23,000’ (6000’ below the summit height).

You could jump from 20,000’ over Hawaii for a mere $998.

Not really, no. The chance of getting an incapacitated person down from up there is nearly impossible.

That’s what liability waivers are for.

What about passenger aircraft? Are there any regularly-scheduled passenger flights that fly close enough to Everest that passengers can catch a glimpse?

I don’t know the answer. But there are some good reasons (mostly having to do with winds, mountains & serious turbulence) why a passenger plane should give Everest - and indeed pretty much any significant mountain - a decently wide berth.

If the weather is good and one is sitting on the correct side of the plane, flights in and out of Lukla offer a view of Everest. However, several tall peaks can be seen from the plane and you would need someone to point out which mountain is Everest. The same is true when one is hiking around the Everest area. Everest doesn’t stand out. IMHO Ama Dablam is a more beautiful mountain.
