Landing Everest Base Camp by Helicopter at kalapathar view point

We made the best decision using Himalayan Holiday Service for our Everest base camp private helicopter tour. Buddhi was kind and caring ensuring our Everest experience was top notch. Wife has some walking difficulty and Buddhi helped her sherpa style throughout the trip. Floating among the stunning Himalayas then landing at base camp followed by a wonderful breakfast at the Everest view hotel was unforgettable. Thx again Buddhi, Chuck and Diane

This was indeed a memorable trip with superb organisation by Buddhi from Himalaya Holiday Service from our initial enquiry right up to the return to our hotel after the trip. We decided in December 2022 that we wanted to take a helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp when we visited Nepal in March 2023. Buddhi replied promptly to our initial enquiry with information on our options. There were three of us and we decided to take the private helicopter option. The details were quickly finalised by exchange of emails with Buddhi and a date agreed for the trip. Buddhi emphasised that the weather in the mountains was unpredictable and we should be prepared to be flexible with our dates and be ready to shift our trip to another day if there was poor weather. We arranged to stay in Kathmandu for five days to give us this flexibility. When we arrived in Kathmandu in March, Buddhi contacted us and arranged to come to our hotel the day before our trip to brief us what to expect. This helped ensure all the members of our small group were fully prepared for the trip. At 6am the following day Buddhi collected us from our hotel, took us to the airport and then accompanied us on the flight. Everything went without a hitch. Buddhi was at our side almost all of the time making sure everything went well and assisting one older member of the party who had some difficulty walking. (Helicopter weight restrictions at altitude meant Buddhi could not be with us on the final leg to Base Camp and he remained at the Everest View Hotel and was there to greet us when we returned for breakfast.) The weather was good on the day and we enjoyed some superb views of the mountains, and of course of Everest. The few minutes we were able to spend on the ground and out of the helicopter at Kala Patthar above Base Camp was the highlight of a trip filled with many memorable moments. And breakfast at the Everest View Hotel was a breakfast we will never forget. For most, this will probably be a once in a lifetime trip and it is not cheap. You want to be confident it will be well organised. Buddhi provided that confidence and, on the day, ensured all went well. To anyone thinking of taking this trip to Everest Base Camp, I can, without hesitation, recommend Buddhi and Himalaya Holiday Service.

This was such special trip with Buddhi. He was punctual, thoughtful, professional and extremely insightful in pointing out all the wonderful sights along the way to Everest. The extra stop at the monastery was also breathtaking. Thank you to Buddhi for this most memorable experience in Nepal.
