Everest Helicopter Tour and Manaslu Trek

We did a tour to Everest Base Camp on a helicopter followed by a trek to Manaslu. Our experience was fantastic with the local operator. A very professional company, dedicated for customer satisfaction and I couldn't ask for anything better. Highly recommended tour although it's an expensive experience. Happiness is important than money.

Great tour

Well organized. Logistics were easy. Nice crew/staff. It would be helpful if there was a printed map of the major landmarks available as we fly and so we can better understand our helicopters route.

Fly High, Fly Beautiful

I and my wife visited Nepal in April 2017 and we booked a tour with the assistance of local tour specialists. The tour was smooth however our Everest mountain flight didn't happen due to weather problems. We asked for options with Upendra, a local travel specialist, and he gave us an idea about the Helicopter tour. It was brilliant suggestion even though it broke our bank account. Expensive (very actually) but it was worth to do for a lifetime trip. We enjoyed it.
