Fantastic trek experience! - We had an absolutely brilliant experience on our trek in the Himalayas! This 5 day trip suited us perfectly as it gave us a taste of hiking in the vast Himalayan range, plus we got to see Everest itself. The helicopter trip on day 4 topped it off perfectly, a thrilling ride and close up views of the highest mountain range in the world. Our guide, Dembar, was a really nice guy. He gave us some fascinating insights into the area. And he was always helpful and checked on us often to make sure we were okay. I would highly recommend this trek, especially if you are either short on time or maybe don’t want to take on the full Everest Base Camp option.

Once in a Lifetime and worth the cost - We did several trips with Luxury Holidays. They looked after our airport transfers (there were 5!) as well as our tours around Kathmandu and the Everest Tour. The group was great to work with and looked after us at a very reasonable price and high level of service. With regards to the actual Everest experience, it was a once in a lifetime type of event and cannot be compared to the alternative of an airplane fly-over. Stopping over in the Himalayas with a view of Everest and getting to walk around with the views is incredible. The Pilot was excellent and the ground staff were even better - in fact, they helped us to our domestic flight that we took after the helicopter tour. The other unexpected surprise was that it is a 45 minute flight to and from Everest and so you get a lot of time in the air with views of Nepal and the mountains! I highly recommend this tour.

Slice of Everest - This wasn’t just a pleasure tour / you get to become part of the culture of the Himalayas but supporting folks - I was able to ride with an amazing pilot when he picked up someone at a stop that needed help - and we brought a medic up to elevation to start his effort for the next few months. I feel like I saw a slice of trekking life that few people get to see.

Once in a lifetime experience - We had booked a Titan holiday tour to Nepal but were looking to enhance our holiday by looking for additional options as we were only likely to be in Nepal on this one occasion. After considerable internet brousing we came across Luxury Tours Nepal. From initial contact to the completion of our two flights, the company's contact, information and updates were excellent. The very nature of flights in the Himalayas means that precise timings may not be possible. Luxury travel however liaised with our tour guide and transfers between them and dovetailing of activities was excellent. Pick ups and drop offs were punctual and very professional. Both tours offered exceptional photographic opportunites from helicopters where individuals for the most part had window seats for viewing. The Everest flight took up all morning and included changes of helicopter and breakfast at Everest view hotel. The Annapurna flight was about a 30 minute flight each way and about half an hour on the ground at Annapurna sanctuary base camp. Our pilot said he had no other job that morning and we were lucky enough to get nearly an hour at the basecamp. All of the people we came in to contact with in all roles were helpful and very professional. Helicopter tours are not cheap but to put things in to perspective, not much different from paying additional costs of business class flights. We know which option we preferred and what would live long in our memory. We cannot recommend Nepal Luxury Travel highly enough and if we do go back they will be the first company we would look up for tours

Good weather helped - You can book directly on their website to save a few hundred dollars. The tour went smoothly. The pilot was very professional. The views are to die for. We flied over the Mt. Everest base camp before landed at Everest View Hotel for breakfast. The good weather was a big help.

One of my life's most memorable days! - This is a must do once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot was amazing and made us feel safe and secure. The views, the mountains the villages, yaks and trekkers all visible from the comfort of our amazing helicopter. Our pilot took us two by two to the highest heights on Everest to see the ice fall, camps 1-4 and we even saw some climbers on other mountains. Amazing ! The landing at the worlds highest airport was a thrill!!

Relaxing holiday! - We went on a 5 day tour of Kathmandu and Nagarkot with a helicopter tour to Everest. The service is good and I would recommend this company. Our queries prior to the trip are answered promptly by Resham and during the trip, our guide Ram is knowledgeable and friendly. Their transport is clean and on time and they do check on you during the trip to see if everything is fine. If your budget allows, please do the helicopter tour to Everest. It's a once in a lifetime experience!

Everest Base Camp Trek - I’ve always wanted to see Mt Everest. I finally got a chance to go to EBC and I couldn’t have found a better company, Luxury Holidays and their awesome guide Ram Lamichhane. Ram was super helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, and he made my trip super comfortable during the entire time. I highly recommend Luxury Holidays. They were a pleasure to work with especially having a guide like Ram. Thank you! Kaka 👍🙏✌️😅
