My helicopter ride in... - My helicopter ride in Nepal was absolutely worth every dollar. The views were beyond anything I could have imagined — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even after trekking in the mountains, this felt like a completely elevated perspective, something you simply cannot replicate any other way. The pilot was extremely professional, and the entire operation felt seamless and well-organized. What made it even more special was sharing the helicopter with other travelers — everyone was kind, warm, and excited, which added to the overall experience. From booking to pickup (which happened within just 30 minutes), everything was smooth and efficient. If you’re visiting Nepal, this is a must-do experience.

Once in a lifetime adventure - Just got back from the most amazing trip Of my life. I was a bit nervous but the pilot was so experienced and I felt very safe . Buddhi was fantastic in organising my trip . I booked the day before and he came to my hotel and explained the trip in detail I did the landing and though it was more expensive I highly recommend it . The trip was worth the cost . Once in a lifetime experience . Safety was their number one priority .

Bucket list trip to see Everest! - Once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Himalayas and fly around base camp before landing for breakfast at the highest hotel in the world. Staff were really professional and punctual for pick ups. We were lucky with the weather as the views were excellent on the way there.

Fantastic views of Everest - Great organisation and excellent communication. Buddha guided me through the process, what to expect, detailed safety precautions and how to get the best out of the day. We late booked the day before but this was no problem and he gave me a number of options to consider. We chose flying to Everest and not landing nearby. Our itinerary was pick up from hotel at 5.15am to airport, quickly guided thru immigration and security and taken to helicopter. We then had a little wait due to weather on our route, but were soon on our way. 45 mins later we arrived at our refuelling airport - Lukla, buzzing and quite dramatic with its short runway. Then we were off to Everest. We had 5 people on the helicopter so had to make a stop near Everest base camp as they could only take 2/3 up at a time due to weight and Altitude. We weren’t able to make the planned hotel stop due to the weather closing in so instead we stopped on the pass heading towards Everest. The flight had been quite hazy/cloudy all the way. But as we entered the pass it was beautiful blue sunshine. We dropped off 2 passengers and headed up. It was breathtaking, exhilarating and very exciting to see Everest appear. It was black peaked compared to the surrounding mountains. What a moment. Our pilot gave us a running commentary all the way. We then returned and swopped positions with our flight colleagues. We then enjoyed the vista of the pass for 15/20 mins - river and mountains! All in all it was an unforgettable experience, expensive but worth it if you’re not hiking/climbing it!! The whole crew involved were very friendly and engaging. Buddha in particular worked hard to make sure we had a brilliant and memorable time. Highly recommended.

Helicopter Tour - I can’t recommend this trip enough. Definitely top 5 things I’ve ever done and worth every penny. Budddhi was very clear and communicative from start to finish, and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever been on a tour that’s been that transparent. If you’re on the fence about it, dont hesitate and just book it. You won’t regret it.

The Fastest Way to Meet Everest - The Everest Base Camp helicopter tour with a landing at Everest View Hotel is honestly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The aerial views of the Himalayas are unreal—seeing Mount Everest up close without days of trekking feels almost surreal. Landing at the hotel gives you a perfect moment to soak in the beauty, breathe that crisp mountain air, and just stand there thinking, “yeah… this is different.” It’s quick, a bit pricey, but totally worth it if you want the Everest experience without the physical grind.

Unforgettable helicopter tour to Mt. Everest base camp with breakfast at Everest View Hotel. - Incredible helicopter tour to the base camp of Mt. Everest. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, including in-person briefing a day before. The crew was professional and attentive, and the whole experience felt smooth and safe. Seeing Mt Everest up close was absolutely unforgettable. We also stopped for breakfast at Everest View Hotel and it was delicious with the most breathtaking views imaginable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a spectacular and well-run adventure.

Amazing experience. Landed near base camp, which was best part - We initially got the ticket for the basecamp flyover, but paid a bit extra to land at KalaPata, just above the basecamp. Only allowed 10 minutes, due to altitude. One of the most magical 10 minutes of my life. The pilot was great. You start at the domestic terminal at the airport and fly 45 min to Lukla, a tiny town in the mountains, to get clearance to fly higher. Then you go up to the mountain hotel ( they have about 5 or 6 landing spots), and split into 2 and 3 passengers to fly all the way up in separate short flights. Then reverse. Definitely worth the money, especially if you get a ticket includes landing g at LalaPatta
