A breathtaking experience!
Everything was well organized and worked without a problem. The heliflight was smooth and an experience in itself. But standing in front of Mt. Everest simply was overwhelming and an incredible feeling.
Having a very tasty breakfast at Everest View Hotel and looking at the “big one” after having spent maybe 20 minutes there before simply was great. Afterwards heading back to Kathmandu concluded a real “once in a lifetime experience”.
Yes, it is quite an investment, but it is worth every single Dime.

Best experience i have ever had in my life. Me and my wife did the Everest Helicopter landing with Gokyo lake, words can't describe how beautiful it was. Communication was very good on Whatsapp and they answered all my questions. They are charge the best price compared to others and arrange everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a memory of a life time ????

Amazing. I'd love to trek one day but in the meantime, this is the closest we have been able to come to Everest.
We've used Luxury Holidays Nepal for a week in Bhutan and for the four UNESCO sights in Kathmandu and knew we would be well taken care of, and we were not disappointed.
