Amazing trip
It was a great experience to see the amazing views from the helicopter. Breakfast at the world’s highest hotel with Mount Everest view was lovely. Thanks a lot to the pilot and Buddhi for the amazing trip. Buddhi was very helpful, organised and professional. He explained the details of the trip in advance. Price was very reasonable too. I will definitely recommend his services to my friends and family.

Trip of a Lifetime
Superbly organised and executed. Went over and above to facilitate us after we arrived 2days late and without baggage in Kathmandu courtesy of the chaos at Dubai Airport . They rearranged without extra charge to our wedding anniversary on the 23rd April. Trip went exactly as we were briefed regarding the new landing rules at Base Cam, picked up from our hotel dead on time The views on the way up to Lukla and onto Base Camp and the Glacier were stunning, with a running commentary from the pilot. The included breakfast at Everest View Hotel is set in the most idyllic surroundings. They then went even more out of the way when we landed back at Kathmandu and took us to Fly Dubai offices where we resolved our baggage problem, before dropping us back at our hotel. Absolutely first class service, turned the horrendous start of our holiday into something to treasure and remember for the rest of our lives.

Helicopter tour
We had a short time in Nepal and decided to see the Everest base camp by Helicopter. the ride was smooth and the view was great. The highest landing was Kalapather viewpoint.
The breakfast place was nice at a lower elevation. Had one-hour of free time for breakfast time.
All the staffs are professional and serious for safety first.
Highly Recommended.

Everest Helicopter Tour
During our short visit to Nepal, we decided to take this helicopter flight to Everest. We chose this company and went everything smooth and on time. The view of Everest and the Himalayas were breathtaking (obviously). This was a once in a life time experience. I was extremely satisfied with the service of this company.

Excellent communication around details and booking. We did Namche - EBC - Kathmandu which was an awesome way to trek the EBC trail if you have limited time.

This was really an amazing trip. It was all perfect. Pickup at the hotel was more than punctual, check-in was easy and the flight was fantastic.
You fly almost 2,5 hours all over and will have an phenomenal view. It was really bombastic.
Certainly one thing you should do, when you are in Nepal!

If you only do ONE thing, make it this!
I cannot even begin to say how well organised this was and how well looked after we were. I booked solo, but went as part of a group. We were encouraged to swap seats so that we all had a chance to sit at the front. The helicopter had 1 front seat, and 4 in the back (with the views being better at the sides.) The helicopter used doubles as a rescue helicopter, which is very reassuring - because you know that our tourist landings on helipads must be a piece of cake compared to the challenges the pilot is used to.
The landing places themselves were STUNNING. They looked like something out of an alien terrain, like nothing I have ever seen before. We were lucky enough to have landed at Kala Patar on the day we went. It was gorgeous.
Be aware that you need to pay 3000 rupees to land at Everest View Hotel. This was more than worth it. The set helicopter breakfast was 25USD. Another thing to bear in mind is that because the helicopter doubles as a rescue one, it might be called away whilst you are eating breakfast (which is what happened to my group.) However this company were wonderful, they sent me a message (whassap) to let me know and arranged for another helicopter to come and get us once it was free. They communicated wonderfully well, not just in this situation, but throughout. Replying to my messages almost instantly, patiently answering all of my millions of questions before the flight.
Truly the extra money to copter and land versus an aeroplane flyover, is well spent. This experience was one in a million.
