Excellent experience - The scenic flight was wonderful! The agency is very reliable, they contacted me the day before, and we coordinated everything. They came to pick me up and drop me off at the hotel on time. I definitely recommend them, thank you so much for everything!

Great excursion to see the mountains. - We had a great experience. We were particularly lucky that our flight actually was able to go due to the rainy season. Booking was very easy, we booked the night before and within an hour we got the call back to provide our passport information to get the tickets. Highly recommend.

An amazing experiences - thanks to Nawa - A Truly Unforgettable Experience – Thanks to Nawa! I cannot recommend Nawa highly enough. He was my tour guide for the 1-hour Mount Everest scenic flight from Kathmandu, and he went above and beyond to make sure I had the opportunity to experience this once-in-a-lifetime moment. From the moment we met, Nawa’s warmth, professionalism, and dedication stood out. There were a few logistical challenges the morning of my flight, but Nawa handled everything with such calm, care, and persistence—making sure I didn’t miss the chance to see Mount Everest. I genuinely felt like he cared about making my dream come true, and thanks to him, it did. The views of Everest were breathtaking, but what truly made the experience meaningful was the kindness and effort from Nawa and the driver. They were not only reliable and punctual but also incredibly kind and welcoming throughout the entire trip. This experience ended up being the absolute highlight of my visit to Nepal, and I owe that to Nawa. If you’re considering this tour or any others—ask for Nawa. He’s the kind of guide who turns a great tour into a life-changing memory. Thank you so much, Nawa!

Excellent Guide and Amazing Experience - This was a wonderful experience. Our Guide, Hari of Nepal Treks P. Ltd., proactively communicated with us on WhatsApp, made everything easy for us, provided excellent transfers to and from the airport, and went out of his way to help us. The flight was excellent and the views of the numerous mountains, including Mount Everest, were spectacular.

Spectacular! - Very well organised trip. Our vehicle and guide picked us up right on time and drove us to the airport. Our guide Mr Nawa sorted out our tickets at the airport so we just had to go through security and wait for the mountain flight. This took off an hour late but delays are always expected with air travel. The flight was fantastic, the day was quite cloudy but the Himalayas were bathed in fabulous sunshine and the views were spectacular. Everyone is guaranteed a window seat and get equal opportunity to fly alongside the mountains. Mr Nawa was ready and waiting for us at the airport and the journey back to the hotel was comfortable and felt safe due to the careful driver and the fact that the vehicle had seatbelts. Highly recommend this trip, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed if you’re in Nepal. Mr Nawa also helped us put together a package for another trip while we were driving which was very helpful and processed easily via email later in the day.

Flight tour - Great tour. Highly recommended if you want to see the Everest but you can’t climb just like me. The tour started off very early so you have a whole day to enjoy other activities in Kathmandu.
