Fly from Kathmandu toward Everest, overfly Base Camp, stop at Lukla, and land at Hotel Everest View for optional breakfast.
“Buddhi was great to work with....he was super responsive, very knowledgeable and helpful in our quest to helicopter to Mt Everest. He came by our hotel to review the trip and picked us up at hotel to go to the airport. Unfortunately, even though we were all seated on the helo and waited for an hour for the weather and limited visibility to clear up so we could take-out, the tower would not let us up. Safety 1st and we understand WP. Buddhi felt bad and got our trip refuned immediately. I would DEFINITELY recommend him too anyone considering a helo trip....We hope to return to Katmandu and try again.....”

“Please note that there is, in fact, a considerable amount of uphill walking included with this tour. The itinerary states the walk is downhill, but that isn't strictly correct. However, thank you for an enjoyable half day tour. My guide Ananta was extremely helpful and informative. I was picked up on time and enjoyed being transported in a very comfortable vehicle. The driver was very good and provided an excellent service. I thought I had booked a seat on a group tour, but this turned out to be a private tour, so I had the full attention of the guide. Ananta was always closeby to offer a stabilising arm if…”
