Everest helicopter tour from Kathmandu

We had a great time on our Everest helicopter tour with a landing at Hotel Everest View. The views were amazing! The pilot shared a lot of interesting information during the flight. Seeing the mountains up close was our dream, and it finally came true. If you’re looking for a mountain trip, this is a perfect choice. You can see Everest with your own eyes, all in just a day trip from Kathmandu.

Best Experience Ever with Breakfree Adventures

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our Everest Base Camp helicopter tour with Breakfree Adventures. The weather was spectacular, and the pilot was professional and friendly. The highlight of our trip was the private flight landing at Kalapatthar, which was guaranteed in advance. It was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! The views were breathtaking, and everything was perfectly organized. Before booking, the team gave us all the necessary information, including details about weather conditions and possible changes. They were very transparent, and their communication was excellent. We were supposed to have breakfast at Hotel Everest View for an hour, but we stayed for three hours due to weather conditions. The team had informed us about this possibility in advance, so it was not a problem. In fact, it turned out to be a bonus as we enjoyed a nice walk and soaked in the incredible views. Thank you, Breakfree Adventures, for an unforgettable experience! We highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and professional tour company in Nepal.

Fantastic trip. Well organised. UK solo traveller.

A fantastic trip overall. Manager in Kathmandu who handled the sale was professional, very detailed in his description of things, etc... The team helps you navigate the Domestic Terminal in Kathmandu (it is very busy / chaotic at that time) Helicopter flights (5 in total) are very good, with tremendous, highly qualified pilots. They really know what they are doing! The overall experience is very unique, and I would highly recommend to anyone.

The Everest Base Camp heli tour from Kathmandu was truly an unforgettable experience. Everything was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking view from Hotel Everest View, which offered a spectacular perspective of the region. Our pilot was exceptional, with extensive knowledge and experience, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The booking process was easy and hassle-free, adding to the overall convenience. Despite having an international flight on the same day, the team ensured we were back in Kathmandu on time, demonstrating their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Breakfree Adventures for anyone looking for a high-quality, memorable adventure in Nepal.

Amazing Trip!

I had an amazing time in Nepal. I did a private Everest base camp helicopter tour with Bharat & Breakfree Adventures! It was very well organized. Tried for few days going to airport and return to hotel due to bad weather. It was again almost same and suddenly they call around 9:30am and be ready for the pick-up and they also said, weather is fantastic now. SO, we fly and land at World’s Dangerous Airport called Lukla first and fly to Kalapattar and land at the altitude of 5500 meters which was amazing. It was a bit cloudy when we get there but the experience was the best! Don’t have enough time to do the Everest base camp trek? Just do the Everest base camp helicopter tour. Thank you Bharat & Breakfree Adventures for amazing experience.

Best Trip Ever!

We booked Everest base camp helicopter with Breakfree Adventures and it was one of the best experiences we had in our lifetime. The journey start from Kathmandu early in the morning with guidance by Bharat which was totally hassle-free journey. He took care of everything for us. The journey to Lukla from Kathmandu was very nice scenery, local houses, rice fields etc. The landing at Kalapattar was one of the lifetime experiences. When we flew from Kathmandu, the weather was not good and we were worried that we may not see mount Everest but when getting closer, weather get better and it was very clear when we were at Kalapattar. We cannot land at Hotel Everest view due to cloudy which we totally understand and we had a breakfast at Lukla in a local restaurant but food was good. If you are visiting Nepal and do not have enough time to do complete Everest base camp trek, you should take helicopter flight and go with Breakfree Adventures! They are the best!!

Best Trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We would like to thank Mr. Bharat and Breakfree Adventures for organizing an best holiday for us in Nepal. The airport pickup was on time, and the vehicle was very comfortable, clean and air conditioning, as the weather in Kathmandu was very hot. The helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp, with a landing at Kalapatter (5545 meters), was one of the best experiences of our life. We were unable to land at Hotel Everest View for breakfast due to the weather and we understand that it was beyond anyone's control but we are very impressed with the excellent communication from Bharat throughout the tour, which was an added bonus. The tour of Kathmandu UNESCO World Heritage sites was also very enjoyable. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Nepalese culture and history, and we learn so many information about Nepal in this short tour. For those who is planning for a trip to Nepal, we strongly suggest you to choose Breakfree Adventures. They are best!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Out of this world

The helicopter trip to the base camp was an out of this world experience. From the moment we got picked up at the airport, the process was very smooth and well organised. I never took a helicopter before so I was a bit apprehensive but I never saw landscapes like this. We took a total of 7 helicopters from start to finish. If you have the budget, please do not hesitate. Bharat was very good at organising the overall trip and listening to the requests we had.
