John –

Amazing trip. Helicopter pilot (Alistair) was professional and very safe. No problems of any kind. So happy we did it. Spending time next to Everest Base Camp is beyond words.

Robert – Indonesia

We were picked by the tour agent, Nepal Social Treks, and had contact with Nabin, who has been extremely helpful the whole time, he also arranged transportation and a guided tour in Kathmandu for us. A huge compliment to him. His team guided us through the airport customs etc, The helicopter (Airbus) looked well maintained and the pilot, Troy, was very professional and has a lot of experience. we flew to Lukla airport first to drop off a technician, some fuel and food and after that, straight to the mountains. we were very lucky as the skies were blue and hardly any wind, we flew to 19000 feet (above basecamp) and had magnificent views on Everest and the other mountains. Afterwards we were dropped off at Everest Hill View Hotel for brunch and had sufficient time to take more pictures from Everest. Otw back we picked up a climber. We were driven back to our hotel again with Nepal Social Treks. The Tour agent and especially Nabin are highly recommended
