The Himalaya office organized a helicopter flight to EBC for me. I didn't have much time for trekking. The flight was my dream and allowed me to combine visiting wonderful places in a short time. Initially, I was supposed to fly to ABC, but the weather didn't allow it. But it turned out that the EBC adventure is much longer and much more attractive than the ABC flight. Additionally, despite the higher price, it is cheaper considering the length of the trip. The weather over Everest was better than over Anapurna. Mr. Sobit from the Himalaya office convinced me and it was the best decision. The expedition was a great success. The weather was great. I saw the entire route from Kathmandu to Lukla and from Lukla to EBC from above. I met interesting people at the stops. I thank Mr. Sobit for the excellent organization and care during the trip. Dreams do come true.

It was late December (almost the end of the year), but the helicopter hardly shook, and the weather was nice and Everest was clearly visible and impressive. Breakfast while watching Everest was also an unforgettable memory. I'm glad the tour went off without a hitch!
The excursion was great! The views were beautiful and Sobit came through for us! Thanks again for a great Christmas!!!!
