Buddhi is a man who makes dreams come true in the best way. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of visiting Everest Base Camp. When I started researching ways to get to EBC via helicopter, I looked into the different providers and Buddhi was the most responsive and cost effective. He was quick to respond to any questions, yet at the same time thorough and patient. For me Nepal was my 169th country visited. I arrived in Kathmandu from Kabul Afghanistan (connecting via Dubai), and have continued on after Nepal to Africa where I am now at my 173th UN country so 20 more to go. I say this because of course it means I have worked with many good tour providers, as well as some not so good. Most are good, but only a few are great, and Buddhi is as good as it gets. If you want to go to EBC via helicopter, he is your man. Buddhi owns the business and owns the customer relationship. He is accountable and transparent. He is responsive and friendly. In essence, he is the perfect tour operator. Buddhi answered all my questions in advance via WhatsApp, met with me the day before my helicopter flight (and bought me lunch), then took me out for a meal in Kathmandu after the tour concluded (at his suggestion and again out of his pocket since he wanted to host me). It was clear to me during the flight process that safety is the #1 priority for the business. During my trip, our pilot was called away to do a rescue mission for an injured trekker so we got extra time at Everest View Hotel. It turns out he is one of the go-to helicopter pilots in the country and used to transport the Prime Minister of Nepal. If you are considering arranging a trip with Buddhi, do it. You will be in good hands.

Excellent service. Weather is hit-and-miss during this season, still the safety is taken very seriously. Highly recommend trip.

On trip had to be cancelled due to visibility issues. I give the company 5 stars because they were in constant contact in keeping us updated regarding conditions and they provided a full refund even though the trip was cancelled the morning of trip due to weather. I would highly recommend them and plan on coming back and allowing a few extra days so I can make this once in a lifetime trip.

From booking to the actual flight day, I had a great experience with this company. They were professional and quick to respond to any inquiries. The guide, driver and helicopter pilot were absolute professionals and made this a safe, fun and great experience. Highly recommende!

The helicopter ride to mt everest is the best travel experience we’ve had! The service offered by the guide, the pilot and all other staff members were impeccable and we are very thankful for their hospitality :)

If you want to experience the Himalayas, take this tour. It's simply breathtaking. It's a once in a lifetime experience. The view from the Everest view hotel is gorgeous. The ride was safe. We didn't have anything to worry about as we were in safe hands. Also, the tour coordinator "Buddhi" is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He dropped by the hotel a day before the tour and briefed about the tour. It's all well coordinated and I personally & highly recommend the tour and the agent.

Amazing experience. The company picked us and dropped off to and from hotel. The flight was so cool. We were so close to the mountains. Just amazing experience. Pilot was great too.

I loved this tour! Right from the beginning my guide took care of everything for me and explained in detail the process of it all. He spoke great English and even lent me a coat so I wouldn’t have to buy one just for this trip. I saw everything I wanted to see, I was so happy when I got to see the basecamp and kumbu ice fall. The breakfast at hotel was great and great views! I highly recommend this tour! Buddi was a pleasure to work with and so very kind and professional. It’s totally worth the money and I would do it again in a heartbeat

Best Helicopter Service in Nepal. Buddhi sir is best, He helped us in step and made our trip best. Highly recommended. Loved it

This was the most wonderful experience ever! Buddhi and the team looked after us so well from pre arrival briefing, communication throughout, arrival to drop home. The pilot was excellent, all stops were well managed, breakfast at Everest hotel was delicious and views beautiful- could have stayed there all day! Thank you for such a memorable & breathtaking trip would highly recommend well worth the price- you only live once! Must do on your Nepal adventure list. Thank you so much!

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour provided an exhilarating way to witness the grandeur of the Himalayas, enriched by the dynamics of multiple take-offs and landings which added an exciting pulse to the entire experience. Having the opportunity to sit up front was a delight; to my surprise, the captain conversed fluently in Russian, which added a personalized touch to the flight. The tour offered some spectacular views, especially from the restaurant at the Everest View Hotel, where the stunning vista makes you wish you could stay longer. It’s tantalizing to think about the potential of staying overnight at the hotel, and I hope in the future they might consider offering a tour option that includes an overnight stay with a next-day helicopter pick-up. Flying low over the landscape, the tour afforded us crystal-clear views of the undulating hills and towering mountains, a stark contrast to the haziness we experienced back in Kathmandu. Up here, the sky was remarkably clear and the weather warmly inviting. However, there’s room for improvement regarding the scheduling of the flights. We spent a significant amount of time waiting for our helicopter while others were simultaneously taking off, which was a bit confusing. Moreover, clearer communication about the seating arrangements at the beginning of the tour would enhance the experience. A simple seating map provided for each flight segment could easily remedy this confusion. In conclusion, despite a few logistical tweaks needed, the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour was an unforgettable journey that offered unique perspectives of the world’s most famous mountain range. It’s an exceptional experience that adventurous souls and nature lovers would find deeply rewarding. This review incorporates your experiences and observations. You can tweak it further to better match your voice or any additional details you recall from your trip!

From the veery beginning Buddhi made sure everything was well taken care of and that I knew what to expect on the trip. Neither of us could predict that the weather would rapidly change and our small tour group would have to spend the night in the Himalayans mountains. But again, Buddhi made sure everything was taken care of. He secured a local guide to take us to a small and authentic village to stay in a Tea House which was fabulous. The hosts were so hospitable and place was amazing as was the food. our guide took us back to the pick-up point the next morning in what was a wonderfully little hike with clear skies and stunning views. Even though the weather unexpectedly changed our plans, Buddhi stayed in touch with us through the entire time and had everting under control even helping me extend my hotel. All of our group suggested to Buddhi that they should add an overnight stay to their package. It was an amazing experience. The way they took care of use shows how much they are committed to customer service.

The stay in Tea house and the Everest view was phenomenal! The whole experience is incredibly beautiful! Buddhi is very professional and looked after us very well. Went an extra mile

Like the other reviewers I had a wonderful tour. I will especially like to thank Mr Buddhi for his kindness and efficiency.

Pretty much everything was memorable. Once in a lifetime trip. All was explained to us by our guide, and the helicopter pilots checked on the passengers a few times. My suggestion to others is just be prepared mentally to stick it out if you're not the best flyer. Don't do this if you're bored, or not sure. Once you're up the helicopter pilots can't do much until you land at the next prepared stop.

What can I say about this experience that will do it justice. Let’s start with the booking: I was a solo traveler to Katmandu on a weekend impulse trip. As such was on high alert for scams and over pricing. Contacted Buddhi on WhatsApp and next thing I know he is at my hotel on Friday evening walking me through the whole process. No pressure tactics, it was so refreshing The man is an absolute treasure. If you are in Kathmandu not only do I recommend him but it’s the only way to plan your excursions. As far as the activity itself, I did not think it was possible to form core memories at 45 but the entire event plays plays in front of my eyes every time I close them. This particular experience does not land on Kalapatthar but rather in Pheriche. Having seen user photos of Kalapatthar and having experienced Pheriche I can say with certainty the latter is the better option. We had 2 hours at Everest hotel due to the pilot making another run and I would say it was the perfect amount of time at hotel Everest view . The official time of 45 minutes is too short. Our entire group of 5 explored and goofed off for a solid hour. As far as the fly by base camp and Everest, as one of my fellow traveler put it: it’s like being on another planet. We were at 19500 feet and it towered over us. It was surreal to see the yellow tents of base camp and the khumbu ice falls live after seeing documentaries over the decades. This experience is definitely worth it. And even though expensive has almost 2 hours of helicopter airtime. Compare that to 15-20 mins in New York for 300. Truly a larger than life experience.

Excellent coordinator to prepare for the flight and make the arrangements, warm welcome, highly experienced pilot, and of course stunning flight and views on Everest range (with a delicious breakfast in full view of AMA Dablam. A superb experience!

Had the trip and day of my life! Did the Heli Sight tour with Himalaya holiday service Pvt Ltd and Buddhi arranged all so very well. Before I had so many questions regarding the whole thing and how it was organized and he willingly helped med with all with the most friendly and professional attidude. Then pilot was great too. Later I have learned that the pilot is the president og Nepals polit too.. Highly recommend this tour!

The entire journey shall be part of my most memorable lifetime experience! Captain K.K is the kind of elite pilot I shall fly with to the end of the world! So charming and professional! I never had a slightest concern about safety issue since I met with him!! For photographers, this would be your unimaginable opportunity to get pictures of not only the Mountain Everest, but the entire Himalayas. One of the best days in my life~~~

Perfect tour , great views of the mountains , professional staff and all very friendly. Saw some approaches and departures in Lukla as an added Plus. Thank you.
