A private fare reserves the stated group option. High-altitude aircraft performance determines the permitted passenger load, and larger groups can require smaller landing shuttles. The operator confirms the actual plan from passenger and baggage weights, fuel, weather and current permissions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"overfly-and-landing-are-different-products\"><\/span>Overfly and landing are different products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The USD 1,399 option flies over Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar; it does not promise a landing there. Kala Patthar landing options are subject to permission, suitable conditions and the pilot&rsquo;s approval. Sightseeing options do not promise a landing at Everest Base Camp itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"check-the-complete-booking-terms\"><\/span>Check the complete booking terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Compare the selected option&rsquo;s route, transfers, insurance, extras and cancellation terms.
