The helicopter lifted off smoothly, revealing a stunning panorama of the Himalayas. Snow-dusted peaks, deep gorges, and sparkling glaciers created an unforgettable scene. Kala Patthar offered a jaw-dropping view of Everest. Dipak organized everything with precision and made the day stress-free. The pilot’s calm and skillful flying added to the sense of safety. Breakfast at Hotel Everest View was scenic, peaceful, and indulgent. Timing and coordination were perfect. Dipak’s attention to detail ensured nothing was overlooked. Every sight was awe-inspiring. The adventure felt effortless, comfortable, and premium. Truly unforgettable.

Our journey began with a sense of excitement and eagerness as we stepped into the helicopter. The courteous pilot not only prioritized our safety but also shared fascinating information about the region. As we soared above the majestic Himalayan landscapes, the sight of the world’s tallest peaks unfolding beneath us was nothing short of extraordinary. Getting closer to Mount Everest, its towering presence left us speechless. We had the chance to land at the iconic Hotel Everest View. The moment we touched down, we were struck by its perfect location, surrounded by breathtaking Himalayan giants. The welcoming attitude of the staff instantly made us feel at home and set the tone for a memorable morning. When we entered the dining area, the sweeping view of Mount Everest left us stunned. Seeing the world’s highest peak glowing gently in the morning light was truly unforgettable—almost as if time paused, allowing us to fully absorb the beauty of nature. Enjoying breakfast at Hotel Everest View with such a mesmerizing backdrop felt like a dream. The helicopter company’s exceptional service added even more charm to the experience. The skilled pilots and dedicated team ensured our comfort and made the entire journey seamless and enjoyable. Our helicopter tour to Mount Everest turned out to be a remarkable adventure that surpassed everything we had imagined. We strongly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience to anyone hoping to witness Everest’s majesty and create precious memories with loved ones. Dear Dipak, thank you sincerely for arranging this incredible tour—A Breathtaking Helicopter Adventure to Mount Everest.

Absolutely amazing excursion. My friend Erin found this tour which is how we met Dipak. Excellent person that informed us quite well on how the trip would go, about things that may go sideways, and when and where to be. This guy is great. He was in constant contact and even came to our hotel in Thamel the night before to personally describe the trip. The day started early with a first thing pick-up by Dipak who drove us to the airport. There he connected us with the ramp team to get is out to the helicopter (you actually need a boarding pass!). Easy. I informed Dipak that this was a bucket list thing for me and he got me the front seat for a decent part of the flights. I say flights because the helicopter pilot we flew with, Pasang, is a very highly rated high altitude rescue pilot. During our trip we did have a couple side excursions so Pasang could retrieve sick and injured trekkers. One might think that a bad thing but I take it as a positive as we got to land at other places along the trekking route. Speaking of landings, we actually followed a prop plane into Lukla, the most dangerous runway in the world. Absolutely awesome scene. Anyway we also got to land at Dingboche where we watched yaks and trekkers pass through the small village. There we picked up Vyrom from Perth Australia. Great guy who was trekking to Everest Base Camp when he encountered some oxygen issues. He’s doing well and he and I WhatsApp here and there. Moving on. The total winning moment was landing at Kalapathar!! Landing above Base Camp and looking down at it from say 18,500 feet is surreal. Bucket list stuff. Pasang told us that helicopters can only go to 20,000 feet! Did not know that we were edging closer to the max than I could have imagined. I have to say that Pasang, the pilot was extremely accommodating, super knowledgeable, and the consummate professional. We were in safe hands the whole trip. Oh, and can’t forget Everest View Hotel. It is seriously amazing to come in for a landing amongst 5-6-7 other helicopters all perched on little mounds of dirt in the Everest View Hotel “helicopter parking lot!” Pasang maneuvered us in skillfully. There we had an over priced breakfast but, who cares? I just walked around on Kalapathar looking directly at Mt Everest. 35$ for breakfast is silly but, I did not mind. I did leave a tip for the kind gentleman that served us though. The flight back was good. I did lose the front seat to a helicopter trainee. Pasang is also a high altitude helicopter flight instructor - go figure. Upon getting back to the airport, total surprise but we flew right over the heliport and landed right behind some commercial airliners. Totally cool. I guess Pasang has some pull around that place?? A trip like this does cost. But seeing as how we actually got to land at Kalapathar, it was worth it. Other trips only land at Everest View Hotel, that’s awesome too but, not nearly as good as way up there right at the mountain looking down on the glacier, tents, and ant sized people in Everest Base Camp. Trip of a lifetime and yes, I would do it again. Antarctica is next?? Dipak, Can you hook us up?? And in closing, an absolute total thank you to Dipak. Thank you for constant contact, for dinner, for the loaner North Face coats, for everything. OK and a shout out to the Avacado restaurant there in Thamel. Definitely would not have found it without Dipak. Thanks a ton Dipak!
