Once in a lifetime
Speechless! Mr. Bhatta organized a flawless experience from start to finish. Everything was clear and expectations were aligned. Experience was a once in a lifetime, dream fulfilled. Thankfully, the weather cooperated with us, and we had some amazing views of the Himalayas and glimpses of Mount Everest! Mr. Bhatta was informative, gracious, and inviting the entire time. I could not have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend him and his organization. It was something I will never forget.

Top of the world class
Spectacular. That’s my one word summary. The Everest helicopter tour with breakfast at the Everest View Hotel was everything we were told and more. Our guide, Buddhi, came to our hotel and explained the tour. He came across as knowledgable and experienced. (He is an experienced trekker). He gave us a lot of confidence, something necessary when spending a significant amount of money.
The first leg of the tour was from Kathmandu to Lukla. Before getting close to the snow covered mountains, this itself was spectacular.
Having breakfast outdoors at the Everest View Hotel was wonderful. Eating at a table at 12,730 feet altitude with the Himalayas close by quite unbelievable.
The whole tour was remarkable and professionally done. I have to mention especially Buddhi who was a great representative for Basecamp.

Once in a lifetime experience
We just returned from our amazing trip to Mount Everest via helicopter. Buddhi was our travel guide and did an incredible job of presenting the trip to our group of volunteers. He arranged all the details and everything ran very smoothly. The view was spectacular and like no experience we've had before..stopping for breakfast was a fascinating experience, because of the views and food. Today is a day we will never forget 🙏

A fantastic experience
Even though it wasn't a very favorable time of year for this tour, Mr. Buddhi was tireless in providing us with an unforgettable trip, which allowed us to fulfill our dream. The entire process proceeded with great transparency and monitoring, and we felt in good hands from the first contact. We were always told what we could count on and the limitations inherent to time, with safety being the primary factor. Despite the unstable weather on the second day we managed to fly, with an enormous feeling of security and we had an indescribable experience that will stay with us for life. I couldn't recommend this tour more, the company, Mr.Buddhi, and the pilots who accompanied us. A big thank you to everyone!
