A++ tour! - Pick up and drop off to hotel was amazing - door to door service. The pilots were so kind and made me feel safe the whole flight! You fly right over base camp and get so close to Mount Everest! I would recommend doing it during the high season so you get to see all the tents at base came and trekkers, which I didn’t get to see because no one is hiking this time of year.

By helicopter from KTM to basecamp (and vv) - Great morning with Everest Experience. It was a beautiful experience to go by helicopter to an altitude of 5500 meters and enjoy the beautiful views of the Himalayas.
In my opinion, this company also has the best price!
A maximum of 5 people can be taken per helicopter (in addition to the pilot). One person sits next to the pilot and 4 in the back seat. Since there are several stops, you can switch places.
Please note that additional costs (tax, admission national park and breakfast) will be added to the booking price.
I can definitely recommend this tour!
Incidentally, the destination basecamp is somewhat misleading. I didn't see the basecamp myself!

Worth every penny - Mr. Mukti went beyond answering my queries about the tour as this was my first Heli ride and was nervous about flying and assuming that I'd be sick and what not ( in my head).
Everything went well with the weather being at its best and on top our pilot being the informative genius, who has scaled Mt. Everest (salute) and named every peaks and ranges for us.
Please go ahead and grab that opportunity because it may never come back.
I got to tick off my bucket list to see the Lukla Airport(world's dangerous airport) and to see the Everest ( Sagarmatha National Park) up close and pray there.
Best things that happened that day:
-spotless weather
-witnessing Lukla airport
- friendly people
-falling in love with Everest
-breakfast at the highest Hotel in the world(hotel Everest view)
-Genius pilot
-supportive staffs
Reading about UNESCO world heritage sites(Sagarmatha National Park) in your Social Studies book and stepping on it, is 2 different things.
Go for it.

Memorable - This was truly one of the most memorable experiences I’ve been on. At first, the cost will turn down many travelers. But, you’ll never got this chance ever again unless you plan on trekking. Worth every penny of it!
