The wonderful Mt Everest helicopter tour. - The helicopter tour of Mt Everest and the Himalayas was amazing. The itinerary was perfect and the weather turned out to be great with blue skies giving us a clear of Mt Everest. I liked that there was seat rotation in the helicopter making it possible for all participants to have good seats. The tour contact was most helpful in answering all my questions making it easy for me to sign up for the tour. In short, it was a great tour.

Just do it. Thank yourself later - Some experiences are simply worth the price: this was one of them. I've got nothing more to add to the other reviews other than a suggestion: if you can afford to go in a group of three/four instead of five, the additional comfort will be worth it.

Stunning with great organization - They did a great job on coordinating and organizing everything. Good communication. The experience itself is of course in a category of its own.

Wonderful helicopter ride around Everest!! - Buddhi and his pilot did wonderful work flying us around the Everest and stopped over at the Hotel Everest View for breakfast. 5 hours helicopter ride went exactly how we were briefed the day before. If I have an opportunity, I would take Buddha’s service again.

Beautiful Mt.Everest - Buddhi, the helicopter tour organizer, did a fantastic job for my family, arranging a perfect helicopter tour to the Himalayan Mountains. Everything was easy to understand, smooth and efficient. We just needed to wait for the perfect time and weather to fly. The pilot was very professional and the whole flight was very safe and smooth. We were able to take hundreds of beautiful photos of Mt.Everest. We feel so fortunate to have this experience. Thank you for everything. I will recommend this trip and Buddhi to all my friends.

Absolutely incredible! - Very well organised, picked up from your hotel, taken to the airport and back to your hotel. Everything is explained very well and runs smoothly.
The helicopter itself is a very cool experience, but the views of Everest are amazing! Breakfast at the Everest View Hotel also has amazing views.
So wonderful, once in a lifetime bucket list activity! Definitely recommend!

Flight to Everest Base Camp and breakfast at Everest view Hotel - It's a day I'll remember forever. Going to Everest is a dream that became a reality thanks to my incredible guide. From the first minute, he did his best to arrange the experience on my birthday, although of course it was up to the whims of the weather. But his care, support and willingness to find solutions made the impossible possible.
I had a limited budget, and he tried to assemble a team so that it would cost the minimum to hire a helicopter. Everything was perfectly organized: I was taken straight from the apartment, everything went exactly in time, and after the flight, I was back at my door.
But the most valuable thing is not just professionalism, but the person. Kind, sympathetic, incredibly pleasant to talk to. When you have such a guide, you don't just fly to Everest, you go on an unforgettable journey with someone who genuinely wants you to experience the best.
Thank you for this day, which will be in your heart forever!

This day will stay in my heart forever. Flying to Everest was a dream come true, and it happened thanks to my incredible guide. From the very first moment, he did everything possible to make this experience happen on my birthday, even though, of course, the final decision was up to the weather. But his care, support, and ability to find solutions made the impossible possible.
I had a limited budget, and he went the extra mile to gather a group so that the helicopter rental cost was as low as possible. Everything was perfectly organized: I was picked up right from my apartment, everything was on schedule, and after the flight, I was brought straight back to my door.
But beyond the flawless organization, what truly matters is the person himself. Kind, warm, and incredibly easy to talk to. When you have a guide like this, you're not just flying to Everest—you're embarking on an unforgettable journey with someone who genuinely wants you to have the best experience possible.
Thank you for this day that will stay with me forever!

Unbelievably beautiful experience - What a wonderful experience we had with this Everest helicopter tour !
Before the tour ,we met Buddhi, who was great with the briefing , answering our questions and telling us exactly what to expect . He prepared us well for the trip . He is kind, courteous and extremely knowledgeable!
During the tour we flew with Captain Rana who was highly experienced and made us feel safe and comfortable.
The breakfast at Everest view hotel is delicious and the service is great, while the views are breathtaking! Vegetarians, fear not , you are well taken care of !
One of a kind experience and glad we had the good fortune to experience this !
Would recommend this tour anytime !!

Memorable helicopter tour to Everest View Hotel - Everest Helicopter tour was amazing with great views of Mt Everest and the Himalayan ranges. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and were very lucky to get to do this on that exact day. The tour is weather dependent keeping safety and visibility in mind for the passengers. Everest View Hotel breakfast was delightful with beautiful views of the peaks. Buddhi is attentive, knowledgeable and responsive. Overall, an awesome experience to see the ranges closer if you are not trekking.
