First they were VERY easy to deal and communicate with. They were VERY clear on costs and options. Second and most important the trip was incredible. We had blue skis with scattered clouds. We did the Kalapather base camp landing. My altimeter said 17,410 feet. Pictures do not do anything justice for the majestic mountains that surround you.

I have been with Mr Buddhi for the past six years and he is so reliable and secure that I asked him to take a helicopter tour to Kalapatar this time. The helicopter tour takes a 45-minute flight from Kathmandu Airport to Lukla. We refueled and then landed on the helipad of Everest View Hotel. The flight was then divided into those who landed in Karapatal and those who flew over. Breakfast at Everest View Hotel after flight to Karapatar (copayment) The glaciers seen from Karapatar were white and the 360 degree Himalayan view was amazing! It became a memory. Please come again.

From the minute we contacted Buddhi we got personal service and an excellent experience. We made sure we had quite a few days as options, and it turned out that our first day in Kathmandu was the right weather and so Buddhi and Paris met us at our hotel, briefed us and then picked us up the next morning. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our captain, KK, was incredible, and both he and Paris pointed out all the things we could see from the air and the landing at Kalapathur was breathtaking! Honestly, I can't rave enough about this experience. Because of the time of year, we also got crystal clear skies AND we got breakfast on the terrace at the Everest View Hotel with no one else around. It was peaceful and stunning and we could take all the pictures we wanted. This has been the best experience of our lives!!!!

The whole trip more than lived up to my expectations. Everything detail was looked after from the pre trip overview at the hotel to being dropped back at the hotel at the conclusion of the trip. The guide provided was very professional and looked after every detail to make the trip go as smoothly as possible. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of making a helicopter flight to Everest.

Absolutely amazing tour. Everything has been organized to every single detail. This is maybe the only helicopter company in Nepal which can really deliver Kalapathar landing as since 2024 it is very complicated to get permit. At least I have experience that three other companies I have asked for promised it however non of them was able to truly deliver this experience. Landing at Kalapathar is one of the best experiences one can do and totally recomended over just fly over experience.

OUR MOUNT EVEREST, MAY 4, 2024. We had an amazing two-week custom designed trip to Nepal through the Himalaya Holiday Service Pvt. Ltd with Rajan-Buddhi. Our highlight was our private helicopter tour for only two of us with landings at Lukla Airport, Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Kalapathar. Our pilot who flew us was renowned and exceptionally skillful who made us feel 100% safe where safety was always first! On our flight to Mt Everest, our amazing and extremely kind and very knowledgeable private tour guide, Paras and his son, accompanied us on our way to Lukla. The Himalaya Holiday Service was outstanding in every way on our trips with Rajans impeccable help, care, dedication, and perfection. He treated us like family and our trip was a big success due to the flexibility required and their quick responses and flight scheduling. Being on ALL 7 continents and adventures all over the World, Rajan-Buddhi stole our hearts by making Mt Everest our top dream come true. We highly recommend them because everyone should take this helicopter trip at least once in a lifetime! Thank you, Rajan and Paras, for all of your outstanding care, beautiful hearts and for all of the Love that shined with you onto us! Namaste! Namaste! Brian and Anna Degani

What an unforgettable experience!!! Memories that will definitely last a lifetime!!! I can't put in words how breath taking (literally and figuratively) the view of Sagarthama/Chomolungma/Mt Everest was up close at Kala Patthar. Very thankful to Mr Buddhi (tour operator) for making this trip happen, to our pilot Mr Niranjan (our pilot) for making the flight smooth flying and safe, and Mr Paras (our tour guide) for this fun and amazing trip. I can't say enough how to thank you guys. This is extremely highly recommended, especially if you don't have time and have some physical limitations in doing a Mt Everest trip. I have motion sickness and back problems but this trip did not give me any problems at all. Will be back with my kids and family soon for sure. This was one of my birthday gifts to my wife, we got the private tour, and every single penny is worth it... and more!!! For you who are still on the fence, I really recommend you should try this... you won't get disappointed.

This is an experience of a lifetime! We booked the private helicopter tour for two people with fly over base camp and landing at Kalapathar for photos. It was amazing! We felt safe and in expert care and hands the entire time. Buddhi came to our hotel the afternoon prior to our scheduled flight and gave us a thorough program and safety briefing which we really appreciated. Our guide accompanying us, Paras was fantastic. Our pilot was exceptionally skilled. The scenery and overall experience was truly breathtaking!! Worth every penny. We highly recommend using them!!

Going on this adventure to Mt. Everest today with Buddhi surpassed my very high expectations exponentially!!! Buddhi is the consummate professional combined with one of the most endearing person’s you can meet. Words do not do justice what a fantastic experience this was and how every single step went without a hitch. Of course we came to see the mountain. We did not know we would enjoy spending the day with a mountain hearted man too. Over 65 countries and many adventures later, Buddhi has stolen our hearts and made this #1 of all. Most of all…our safety was the main focus with Buddhi and that is why everyone definitely should use this company! Highly recommend!! Thank you Buddhi for one of the best days of our life! Namaste Jerry and Marilyn Smith

It was an amazing trip. Very well organized! Our trip took 5 hours with 3 stops: Lukla village, where one of the most dangerous airports in the world is located; Kala Patthar Summit - a stop in front of Everest peak; Everest hotel, where we had breakfast with an awesome view of the mountains! Thanks to Buddhi and the other staff for our unforgettable experience! Namaste 🙏
