Majestic Mt Everest - The entire experience was so exciting! There were 6 of us & we fit comfortably into the 6 passenger helicopter. The trip was beautiful, no clouds in the sky! Our guide communicated with us several times a day. He came to our hotel to meet us personally! The pilot was fantastic, making sure we were comfortable & everyone had good views of Mt Everest! The breakfast was delicious!

Great once in lifetime trip - Amazing company. Excellent communication at all times. Before during and after trip. To see the Himalayas so close and the landing at Lukla airport were a bucket list item. The Everest view hotel was a nice stop off ( Highest hotel in world) Breakfast was good. One thing is owner of company on His game following up keeping in touch and making sure his customers are well taken care of.

Everest flight with 2 landings - We only booked this the afternoon before through WhatsApp with Deepak. He was very helpful through out and fully explained the itinerary. We were picked up in the morning from our hotel by Deepak and he further explained everything and answered the few questions we had. The actual helicopter ride was amazing with the pilot feeding us information about the mountains. We had excellent views of Everest and the Khumbu ice falls and got to land just above Everest base camp and had breakfast at the Everest view hotel. It was a fantastic experience and the day went perfectly and better than expected. Can’t rate this highly enough. Thank you Deepak and the pilot.

One of the greatest experiences of life!!! - This helicopter tour is one of the most impressive and spectacular tours that exist. After landing at Lukla Airport, we stayed for a few minutes at the airport and then followed to a point near Mount Everest where we landed, and took amazing photos of the Himalayan mountain range. Then we made a flight over Everest and we got very close to its top, providing one of the most amazing images I've ever seen. On the way to the tour also has a stop at the Hotel Everest for a great breakfast and a perfect view of Mount Everest. This tour is an opportunity that I have always sought to see from close the highest point on the planet.

Best experience ever - We are a family of four that has travelled the world and has had many great experiences. But, nothing has come close to this one. Seeing Everest and the surrounding mountains was a once in a lifetime experience and I would recommend it to anyone who gets a chance. Now, for the details of the tour. We were promptly picked up by Dipak at our hotel. We then proceeded to the airport and boarded our helicopter. After about 40 minutes of flight time we came landed at the most dangerous airport in the world (for planes) on the side of a Himalayan mountain. We then took off for about 5 minutes and landed on a glacier in a valley in front Everest and many other mountains that were almost as tall. Afterwards, we circled Everest in the helicopter and the landed at a hotel for breakfast. The hotel had the highest elevation of any hotel in the world. We ate outside with a fantastic view of Everest and the other mountains. Breakfast was great. They served a ton of food for each person including pancakes and omelets and many other choices. After breakfast we got back into the Helicopter, said good bye to Everest and went back to the airport on about 40 minutes. The tour was awesome, Dipak was awesome and we will have many great memories from those 4 hours.

Everest Helicopter experience - An incredible day-out!! Dipak and his team was great in coordinating everything and to make sure we set out on the day with the best weather possible out of the 3 we budgeted for the ride. Glad we put our full trust with Dipak. What to expect: - 6am pick-up at hotel and drive to the airport - Staff with ticket ready to escort you through security, docs & weight check before driving you 5mins to board the helicopter - Fly to Lukla and experience seeing take off & landing in the heli. Potentially witness airplanes take off/landing while refueling - Land at Everest View hotel (3,800 mt) for a good breakfast with the best mountain view in the world. Great service and not crowded - Fly to Kala Patthar at 5,300 mt for an even closer look and land to take some great pictures. It can get a little dizzy but it's very manageable - Fly back to Lukla for a quick refuel and back to Kathmandu by 2pm I would definitely do it again. If you have the energy for hiking and 3-4 days time, I would recommend having Dipak and his team arranging a package to airplane fly you to Lukla, hike 2-3 days (with guide) from Lukla to Everest View hotel, stay the night, Heli to Kala Patthar and then Heli back from Everest hotel to Kathmandu. That way you experience everything and enjoy the fresh mountain air for longer!
