Everest Base Camp Success!

Our 10-day Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return was an experience of a lifetime! The itinerary was just right. It was a challenging adventure but not overwhelming. The acclimatization days were incredible, and the final hike to Kala Patthar for the best views of Mt Everest was the cherry on top of a very large and delicious sundae! Also, the ‘Everest Highway’ is something to be experienced firsthand.

Speechlessly Beautiful

I was lucky enough to recently visit Nepal and decided to book the Everest helicopter tour with this local tour company. It was by far one of the most incredible and memorable experiences of my life! From the moment I was picked up in Kathmandu, to being dropped back off after my scenic flight, everything was perfect. Just Breathlessly beautiful. I had seen Everest from more angles and vistas that I could have thought possible, far surpassing views from any trek. As we flew back and the Himalayan mountains faded into the distance, I had a feeling of gratitude, all thanks to the wonderful staff at this company for providing such an amazing opportunity as part of my trip to Nepal. This is going to be the most cherished travel memories!

Fantastic trip to EBC

We had a fantastic trip to EBC with helicopter return. The majestic white-capped mountain peaks were indescribable. Although we didn't make it to EBC due to acute altitude sickness on the very last day, it's still a worthwhile wonderful trip. It's the journey, not the destination! An adventure of a lifetime.
