Must do helicopter experience and touchdown at Everest base camp

This helicopter excursion to Everest base camp and touchdown was the best part and highlight of my trip to Kathmandu. I flew with a very experienced helicopter pilot who was both friendly and professional. This excursion far exceeded my expectations and was both exhilarating and enjoyable! I highly recommend you work with Buhddi, he was a good communicator and went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable and special.

Bucket list experience

A once in a lifetime experience and opportunity. Buddhi was a tremendous help, answering our questions, getting us set up, transporting us from our hotel, and guiding us through security at the airport. Even though Kathmandu can be hazy, it’s crystal clear at the top and the views are absolutely amazing. We also did the additional landing at Kala Patthar, which was equally incredible. Yes, we felt a little lightheaded, but didn’t need the supplemental oxygen. Breakfast at the Everest View Hotel was very good as well. This was absolutely worth it!

Majestic opportunity

First they were VERY easy to deal and communicate with. They were VERY clear on costs and options. Second and most important the trip was incredible. We had blue skis with scattered clouds. We did the Kalapather base camp landing. My altimeter said 17,410 feet. Pictures do not do anything justice for the majestic mountains that surround you.

Karapatar was amazing.

I have been with Mr Buddhi for the past six years and he is so reliable and secure that I asked him to take a helicopter tour to Kalapatar this time. The helicopter tour takes a 45-minute flight from Kathmandu Airport to Lukla. We refueled and then landed on the helipad of Everest View Hotel. The flight was then divided into those who landed in Karapatal and those who flew over. Breakfast at Everest View Hotel after flight to Karapatar (copayment) The glaciers seen from Karapatar were white and the 360 degree Himalayan view was amazing! It became a memory. Please come again.

Best experience of our lives!!!

From the minute we contacted Buddhi we got personal service and an excellent experience. We made sure we had quite a few days as options, and it turned out that our first day in Kathmandu was the right weather and so Buddhi and Paris met us at our hotel, briefed us and then picked us up the next morning. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our captain, KK, was incredible, and both he and Paris pointed out all the things we could see from the air and the landing at Kalapathur was breathtaking! Honestly, I can't rave enough about this experience. Because of the time of year, we also got crystal clear skies AND we got breakfast on the terrace at the Everest View Hotel with no one else around. It was peaceful and stunning and we could take all the pictures we wanted. This has been the best experience of our lives!!!!

Trip of a lifetime

The whole trip more than lived up to my expectations. Everything detail was looked after from the pre trip overview at the hotel to being dropped back at the hotel at the conclusion of the trip. The guide provided was very professional and looked after every detail to make the trip go as smoothly as possible. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of making a helicopter flight to Everest.

Everest helicopter flight with landing

Absolutely amazing tour. Everything has been organized to every single detail. This is maybe the only helicopter company in Nepal which can really deliver Kalapathar landing as since 2024 it is very complicated to get permit. At least I have experience that three other companies I have asked for promised it however non of them was able to truly deliver this experience. Landing at Kalapathar is one of the best experiences one can do and totally recomended over just fly over experience.

MOUNT EVEREST - OUR BIGGEST DREAM !!!!

OUR MOUNT EVEREST, MAY 4, 2024. We had an amazing two-week custom designed trip to Nepal through the Himalaya Holiday Service Pvt. Ltd with Rajan-Buddhi. Our highlight was our private helicopter tour for only two of us with landings at Lukla Airport, Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Kalapathar. Our pilot who flew us was renowned and exceptionally skillful who made us feel 100% safe where safety was always first! On our flight to Mt Everest, our amazing and extremely kind and very knowledgeable private tour guide, Paras and his son, accompanied us on our way to Lukla. The Himalaya Holiday Service was outstanding in every way on our trips with Rajans impeccable help, care, dedication, and perfection. He treated us like family and our trip was a big success due to the flexibility required and their quick responses and flight scheduling. Being on ALL 7 continents and adventures all over the World, Rajan-Buddhi stole our hearts by making Mt Everest our top dream come true. We highly recommend them because everyone should take this helicopter trip at least once in a lifetime! Thank you, Rajan and Paras, for all of your outstanding care, beautiful hearts and for all of the Love that shined with you onto us! Namaste! Namaste! Brian and Anna Degani
