On trip had to be cancelled due to visibility issues. I give the company 5 stars because they were in constant contact in keeping us updated regarding conditions and they provided a full refund even though the trip was cancelled the morning of trip due to weather. I would highly recommend them and plan on coming back and allowing a few extra days so I can make this once in a lifetime trip.

If you want to experience the Himalayas, take this tour. It's simply breathtaking. It's a once in a lifetime experience. The view from the Everest view hotel is gorgeous. The ride was safe. We didn't have anything to worry about as we were in safe hands.
Also, the tour coordinator "Buddhi" is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He dropped by the hotel a day before the tour and briefed about the tour. It's all well coordinated and I personally & highly recommend the tour and the agent.

I loved this tour! Right from the beginning my guide took care of everything for me and explained in detail the process of it all. He spoke great English and even lent me a coat so I wouldn’t have to buy one just for this trip. I saw everything I wanted to see, I was so happy when I got to see the basecamp and kumbu ice fall. The breakfast at hotel was great and great views! I highly recommend this tour! Buddi was a pleasure to work with and so very kind and professional. It’s totally worth the money and I would do it again in a heartbeat

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour provided an exhilarating way to witness the grandeur of the Himalayas, enriched by the dynamics of multiple take-offs and landings which added an exciting pulse to the entire experience. Having the opportunity to sit up front was a delight; to my surprise, the captain conversed fluently in Russian, which added a personalized touch to the flight.
The tour offered some spectacular views, especially from the restaurant at the Everest View Hotel, where the stunning vista makes you wish you could stay longer. It’s tantalizing to think about the potential of staying overnight at the hotel, and I hope in the future they might consider offering a tour option that includes an overnight stay with a next-day helicopter pick-up.
Flying low over the landscape, the tour afforded us crystal-clear views of the undulating hills and towering mountains, a stark contrast to the haziness we experienced back in Kathmandu. Up here, the sky was remarkably clear and the weather warmly inviting.
However, there’s room for improvement regarding the scheduling of the flights. We spent a significant amount of time waiting for our helicopter while others were simultaneously taking off, which was a bit confusing. Moreover, clearer communication about the seating arrangements at the beginning of the tour would enhance the experience. A simple seating map provided for each flight segment could easily remedy this confusion.
In conclusion, despite a few logistical tweaks needed, the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour was an unforgettable journey that offered unique perspectives of the world’s most famous mountain range. It’s an exceptional experience that adventurous souls and nature lovers would find deeply rewarding.
