Yes! You could land on Everest with a helicopter, but only in special weather condition. Below is a link to a helicopter which could fly that higher. But there a lot of helicopters with service ceiling up to 20000 ft.

They have landed a helicopter on top of Mt Everest a company called Eurocopter did it. They also landed one at Base Camp to rescue someone.

I am pretty sure a helicopter wouldn't be able to handle the altitude and if it could there isn't a place to land and the wind conditions would also be to violent for it.

The air is too thin and the winds up at 29,000 feet are too strong, so helicopters cannot fly that high.

The air is too thin, (not enough molecules per cubic meter) for helicopter blades to operate at that height...sorry.

I'm pretty sure that helicopters cannot fly that high because the air is too thin.

I don't think any helicopter can fly that high yet. However the Osprey Might be able to do it if anybody can.

No, the chopper altitude can get you there but there would be no place to land, and there is a chance of you wing to get frozen.

now you can fly a chopper to a certain point but not to the summit. you could get maybe half way up but you would still have to hump it from there.

no, everest is just over 29,000 ft, and aircraft cruising altitude is 30,000 feet, normal helicoptors cannot fly that high
