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!

Everest from the sky! -
I always thought looking at Everest up close would mean I had to walk for hours on end. This trip package, however, proved me immensely wrong. The Mount Everest helicopter tour was a quick but exhilarating adventure! As we soared high above the clouds, the stunning beauty of the Himalayan range unfolded before our eyes, and I couldn't believe that I was seeing the world's highest peak up close and personal. The helicopter ride was incredibly smooth and comfortable.
The best part of the trip was watching Everest through the Kala Patthar viewpoint. The thrill of being so close to the summit of Mount Everest was indescribable, and I felt a rush of adrenaline as we circled the mountain and took in its awe-inspiring beauty from every angle. The entire experience was truly breathtaking, and it's something that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Great adventure with my 9 year old! - My 9 year old daughter and I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek and helicopter down. It was an amazing adventure. We had a wonderful guide, Basu, and a great porter/Sherpa, Singhaman. We felt very safe the entire time and were well taken care of. Basu got us to Base Camp, which was the goal. Exciting Nepal Treks and Expeditions took very good care of us- picking us up at the airport, providing transfers, etc so I didn’t have to think about anything. Everything was very well organized and we are so grateful to have used this company. Thank you for everything, Subash, Basu and Singhaman!! We will recommend you to our friends in Colorado!

Amazing and Appreciative - EBC fly over and Kalapatthar By Helicopter
I had an amazing and unforgettable trip arranged by Exciting Nepal which was a Helicopter to Mt. Everest.
I had booked a sharing Helicopter that I was only on but the company had another 3 travelers in the same flight.
We landed at the Kalapattar for few minutes also landed at the Hotel Everest view for one hour. The ground handling team of Exciting Nepal was very helpful, Pick up and drop was on time to and from the airport, The Helicopter was delay for 30 minutes during the departure but that was fine.
The view from Kalapatthar was just and amazing and very close of Mt. Everest and other many peaks.
For the short time travelers who they would like to see the mt. Everest and land into the Mt. Everest area , I defiantly recommended this trip.
Thank you for arranging.
Special Thanks to Basu😊

Amazing experience, really breathtaking! Highly recommended! - Amazing tour, breathtaking views,highly recommended. The relaxing breakfast at The Everest Hotel with stunning view of mt Everest was also fabulous. I would give the tour definitely 5 shining stars if it had not been for our pilot who could have communicated much better with us. Not a word from him the first 40 minutes of our helicopter ride then rather unclear messages. However The Exciting Nepal Treks and expedition tour company was really good. Good communication and quick reply where they answered my questions in a professional manner. This is a tour that should not be missed!
