Nepal Helicopter Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Helicopter Nepal tours
Anonymous | Traveled in January
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!

I am happy I finally choose the helicopter experience as it is a lot of money, but finally worth it!! The experience to fly to the Everest area was “wow” and the views were amazing. To see the Himalaya range so close is great and the air time in the helicopter from start to finish is great too, the pilot was amazing too, he did tell a lot of stories about the area and the mountain tops we saw left and right. The only downside is that with 5 people on board, you need to be lucky to sit in front for the highest leg of the flight, around the Everest. Experience it in person is better than all the picture afterwards, great memory of my stay in Nepal.

Amazing and awesome experience flying to the Everest. Everything easy and convenient

We had an exceptional experience of Private Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour with Landing at Kalapattar. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. From start to finish, everything was well-planned and perfectly executed. The landing at Kalapattar was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience to see the Himalayas from such a high altitude. The weather and view from Hotel Everest View were not ideal, the delicious breakfast made up for it. The timings for the helicopter were perfect, and the briefing before the trip was very informative. The team made sure that everything was well-arranged and organized throughout the trip. We cannot thank Bharat and the team enough for providing us with such an excellent experience. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the panoramic beauty of the Himalayas in a day from Kathmandu. The local travel specialist provided us with exceptional service and attention to detail, making this a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you once again, Bharat and the agency, for an amazing and mesmerizing trip.
