Just Do It

5.00One of the most amazing experiences of my life. The price seemed high but was worth every single cent for a once in a lifetime experience. The booking company Himalayan Social Journey were very professional and had great communication. The helicopter company were also very professional and I felt completely safe at all times. The pilot provided information during the whole experience pointing out everything of interest. Landed at Lukla Airport, Gorakshep and Everest View Hotel for breakfast.
Everest! Just do it!

5.00Himalayan Social Journey provided us with a wonderful level of care and attention on our tour around Nepal and to Everest.Certainly the helicopter flight to Everest was a truly magnificent experience and we cannot praise our pilot enough in his professionalism. Our 2 guides Dependra and Diffam were always attentive, friendly and accommodating. The accommodation at Gokarna , a favourite of ours. Internal flights well organised with Yeti airlines and accommodation in Pokara was made very special by the staff . We can certainly recommend Himalayan Social Journeys for a very memorable tour of the stunning Himalayan country of Nepal.
