On Top of the World! 🌍 - What an exceptional operation Pradeep runs for his guests! The helicopter tour was absolutely amazing and it opened my eyes to all of the trekking possibilities that are in the area, being able to get a bird’s eye view of the paths and villages. The mountains are breathtaking to see, there is nowhere else that can come close to the experience of being surrounded by Mt. Everest and its neighbors. Our tour took us up to ~ 20k feet, where we landed and got out for a few minutes (the altitude!) and then we went back down to the “highest altitude hotel in the world” for lunch. We had a pleasant unexpected surprise on the way back down (two rides up and back) and had an unexpected 2 hour layover in the quaint village of Lukla, due to an emergency rescue of some trekkers trying to summit Everest. Pradeep arranged a tour of this little airport town which ended up being one of my favorite stops on the trip! It was a true Sherpa village that caters to trekkers in the most lovely setting. I did not want to leave this place! Lastly, Pradeep hooked us up with a massage team where we enjoyed 2 hours of pampering and a 30% discount in Kathmandu. Your needs will be met working with Pradeep and his team.

Everest and More - Very cool way to see Everest up close as well as the country side of Nepal. Pradeep was so great to work with. He coordinated 7 of us and manages changing weather forecasts and last minute trekker rescues that require helicopter access that takes priority. We were delayed in Lukla due to these rescues and Pradeep arranged and covered the cost of a village tour. He was also available for other questions and assistance after the tour day. Highly recommend.

Best EBC tour EVER! - We booked a trip to Nepal with another company that I used 12 years ago. The communication was terrible. I found Pradeep when trying to book an Everest base camp flight. He was AMAZING from the first whatsapp. He communicated quickly and clearly and help us make our Everest dream a reality. Pradeep continued to support our trip (9 women) by helping to schedule massages and other adventures. I highly recommend Pradeep for any trip you are planning in the Himalayas. Thank you Pradeep! 🙏

Unbelievable experience with Magical Nepal - It was one of the best experiences in my life! I had never flown on an helicopter before, and I always felt completely safe during the whole trip, the pilot was very experienced and also made the role of a guide: he told us the names of the mountains we could see during the trip and also provided us with a lot of interesting information! The views are completely out of this world, and the Magical Nepal made this experience even better by picking me up at my place in Kathmandu and taking me back: very responsible and trustful company! I uploaded some pictures so that you can have an idea of the amazing experience I had!

Amazing Everest Heli Tour - Top-notch service! I got an instant confirmation message right after booking the Everest Heli Tour on Magical Nepal's website. Pradeep - the company owner - immediately followed up and explained in details everything I need to know and expect for the tour. The experience couldn't have been any better, from smooth airport transportation to staff guiding us all the way to the helicopter. We were blessed with superb weather and had spectacular views of Everest. I would totally recommend Magical Nepal and their services.

A magical trip - I had an amazing experience taking a memorable Everest helicopter tour to Everest base camp with Magical Nepal. Everything was explained clearly and transparently on their website. They exceeded our expectations. The cofounder, Pradeep Guragain, is a very personable young Nepalese, who was very responsive to our requests thru texts and follow up phone calls. He assigned different drivers to pick up our group at 3 different hotels to make it very convenient for us ,and to save our time. I was picked up at our hotel promptly at our hotel by Pradeep himself . We were met at the airport by other people working with Magical Nepal, guiding us through the process every steps of the way. We were met at the helipad by a friendly big group of 7 supporting staff, including our pilot, who looked like a Tom Cruise clone in Top Gun. The helicopter ride was a fascinating experience, with the pilot explaining and guiding us through the wonders of Everest and the Himalayas. We landed near the Everest base camp for 10 minutes to take pictures and videos of the awesome Everest and surrounding mountains. Then we had an appetizing lunch at the Everest cafe with an interesting side trip looking at local shops at Lukla. After the trip, before I was driven back to the hotel, I was treated to great Himalayan Coffee by Pradeep and his partner Yen, an impressive young woman,who did many solo trekking trips herself . They truly were interested in knowing more about me , and getting my feedback on the trip. I had a great time on this trip. I highly recommend this tour by Magical Nepal. They lived up to their name.
