        • helicopter trip to everest base camprating star

          I have to say, the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour was incredible! We went on this fantastic helicopter right away in Kathmandu, and the views were out of this world. we got to view the Himalayas like we'd never seen them before. It was like, whoa! when we arrived at Everest Base Camp. I felt like I was on top of the world standing there, staring up at those gigantic peaks. We also went on a short hike to this beautiful viewpoint, and the photos I got were spectacular! Then we landed at Kala Patthar, this insanely high point with mind-blowing vistas. Everest and all the other large mountains, right there in front of us. I realize this tour isn't cheap, but believe me when I say it's worth every penny. This isn't your average adventure; it's something once in a lifetime. So, if you want to visit Mount Everest without breaking a sweat, this helicopter trip is for you.

          I had booked Everest base camp trek with sleep at Everest base camp trek. This is such an adventurous trek. Bishnu and his team arrange this trip to Nepal. My guides Raaz and potter Kumar were very helpful and knowledgeable. He was a really warm and generous guy who we loved spending our 15 days with and were sad to say goodbye to on the last day. Overall, the company was easy to book through and deal with. The trek was well organized, with each day having a nice mix of walking and relaxing, so it was suitable for all abilities if you want to take a different experiance. Thank you Nepal Everest base camp, and especially Raaz, for such a wonderful experience!
