Everest Helicopter Tour - The Everest Base Camp helicopter tour presented me with an excellent opportunity to immerse in the magnificent beauty of Himalayas. I always was fond of nature’s beauty and wanted to delve in the mountainous presence and embarking on the EBC Helicopter tour was one of the best decisions i took as the experiences surpassed all the expectations. Flying over the tallest mountain in the world, Mt Everest was outstanding while at the same time the tour presented with excellent beauty of Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and many more. One of the most beautiful aspect of this tour was comfort. After I landed at Nepal, I met Mr.Subash KC, the managing director of Exciting Nepal, shared me guidance and necessary precautions regarding the journey and the well planned journey of Exciting Nepal took me to the heartland of Everest in matter of minutes. This presented me with the panoramic mountainous beauty without any physical exertion while the once-in-a-lifetime experience imprinted a lifelong memories. To anyone who are fond of the nature and mountains, this is the perfect opportunity for you to hop on. Just try it once in your lifetime and you won’t ever regret.

Great Fun Experience with Exciting Nepal! - This is my second trek in Nepal. First with Exciting Nepal. The owner Subash was very responsive to all the planning and logistics questions about the Trek. Raj our guide was terrific. Friendly, easy to talk to about and very knowledgeable. He paid attention to everyone in our group to assure we were feeling good and properly acclimatizing. If you are looking for a fun successful trek you can rely on Exciting Nepal.

EBC flight - The Everest Base Camp helicopter landing package by Exciting Nepal is a very adventurous one. It does not necessarily take you to the base camp but gives you every experience of an EBC trek without the difficult bits. You will fly over Khumbu via helicopter and enjoy the vistas from the sky. I made this trip recently and was wonderstruck by how beautiful the area is. We got to see Everest up close from Kalapatthar, and that too within a very short time. If you can make this trip during your stay in Nepal, I highly recommend it!

Unforgettable Everest Helicopter Experience - This helicopter tour around Everest was so grand. I didn’t really know we could make such a trip to Everest but it turns out it was a very popular and doable adventure among tourists. It was brief and we were able to see Everest so beautifully from up close. Kala Patthar is definitely the world’s best viewing point. I couldn’t imagine the gleaming peak in front of me was Everest. The most unbelievable part was I didn’t even exhaust myself to see it, just a short flight helped me experience this. If you have the budget and want to see Everest without hikes, I definitely suggest you do it.

Just Go! - An absolute must do experience if you are able to. I could not recommend this company more. I inundated them with 30 plus emails prior to my booking with them and Subash was a true professional. He quickly responded to all of my emails with great detail and a genuine feel for customer service. Once booked, Subash checked in with me along the way to make sure I was fully prepared for the trek. It was clear to me that I was in good hands. The trek - Definitely one of the more challenging "vacations" that I've had, but again I was in good hands. Sosi was the perfect guide. I came down with food poisoning and altitude sickness along the way and he was very attentive and accommodating. Without Sosi's support, I'm confident that I wouldn't have pushed through to complete the trek. In addition to all of that, Sosi was just a genuinely good person and was very easy to talk to and get along with. Thank you Sosi! You are the man!!!

Everest base camp Landing Helicopter Tour - The EBC landing helicopter tour was spectacular. I took this flight with exciting Nepal and was so amazed at how convenient it could be to visit Khumbu and watch Everest up close. The flights were ethereal, and watching the landscapes filled with snowcapped mountains was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I always wanted to see Everest up close, but I assumed I had to do the EBC trek for that. But this helicopter-based tour proved me wrong and I am so glad for it. I would definitely do it again if I visit Nepal.

My flight to Everest! - I did the Everest helicopter landing tour very recently. This was one of my first trips after the pandemic. Initially, I was nervous about taking a helicopter tour to the Everest base camp, but the staff and pilots were incredibly reassuring and put me at ease. The flight itself was incredibly smooth. The scenes from the aerial view were marvelous, and the mountains looked like a work of art. It was inspiring to see the mountains up close and to experience the thrill of being so close to the world’s peak. This tour is a must-do for anyone traveling to Nepal!
