5.00Many thanks to Alpine Club for organizing Mt.Everest helicopter tour. And it wasn't just a piece of cake. I booked the tour for quite a large group a few weeks before arrival. But after some incidents all recreational flights were banned . We arrived Nepal right after they're resumed, during peak season. Most helicopters were busy due to rescue, some operators still didnt offer recreational flights so organizing 3 helis was almost a miracle .I sincerely doubted that 13 people would be able to see Everest from that close . But Sujan's huge commitment made our dream come true. Thank you

5.00This helicopter experience is a must do if traveling to Kathmandu. Everything was scheduled and executed perfectly. The helicopter pilot was very professional and the views from the helicopter, from base camp, and from the hotel during breakfast were amazing!! We felt very well taken care of by the company and safe throughout our whole adventure.

5.00Initially took a trip to EBC Gokyo Ri, in the midst of a sick journey. The owner was very attentive and responsible, looking for a replacement trip using a helicopter so he could walk upstairs. For service number one.
