Everest Base Camp Trek - I’ve always wanted to see Mt Everest. I finally got a chance to go to EBC and I couldn’t have found a better company, Luxury Holidays and their awesome guide Ram Lamichhane. Ram was super helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, and he made my trip super comfortable during the entire time. I highly recommend Luxury Holidays. They were a pleasure to work with especially having a guide like Ram. Thank you! Kaka 👍🙏✌️😅

Trip of a lifetime! - This was a trip of a lifetime and it did not disappoint! The helicopter trip to Everest was out of this world and something unforgettable. The trip to Chitwan and Pokhara was also marvellous and everything was well organised and we got great service from the tour opetator. Nothing negative to say about this trip. Absolutely fabulous!

A Once in a Lifetime Experience - I've been using Viator for sometime now, and I had discovered that you could do a helicopter tour to see Mount Everest. I was intrigued by this because I didn't plan on trekking the Everest Base Camp trail, so it's a great option for those who what to see region from the air. Our pilot was excellent and had years of experience, so we were in good hands. The tour was great from the beginning, they pick you up from your hotel and bring you to the airport, and you fly via helicopter the rest of the way to Everest. I'm sure trekking to EBC has its own beauty and uniqueness, but not everyone who comes to Nepal can hike the trail. What I love about this tour is that it gives you the opportunity to experience and see the beauty of Everest and the Himalayas if your short on time. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see the majestic might of Everest.

A very professional company. - Unfortunately, due to inclement weather we were unable to join this trip. The company kept us informed with weather updates but alas it was not meant to be. I just read on the news another tour company crashed on a similar trip with complete loss of life. For this I want to thank this company for having our safety as paramount. Additionally, as soon as it become apparent there was no chance of this tour going ahead, a full refund was automatically activated. Again, for that I thank you. I will return again someday, in a more preferential season and complete this adventure.

A breathtaking experience! - A breathtaking experience! Everything was well organized and worked without a problem. The heliflight was smooth and an experience in itself. But standing in front of Mt. Everest simply was overwhelming and an incredible feeling. Having a very tasty breakfast at Everest View Hotel and looking at the “big one” after having spent maybe 20 minutes there before simply was great. Afterwards heading back to Kathmandu concluded a real “once in a lifetime experience”. Yes, it is quite an investment, but it is worth every single Dime.

Best experience ever! - Best experience i have ever had in my life. Me and my wife did the Everest Helicopter landing with Gokyo lake, words can't describe how beautiful it was. Communication was very good on Whatsapp and they answered all my questions. They are charge the best price compared to others and arrange everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a memory of a life time 😊

Amazing experience. - Amazing. I'd love to trek one day but in the meantime, this is the closest we have been able to come to Everest. We've used Luxury Holidays Nepal for a week in Bhutan and for the four UNESCO sights in Kathmandu and knew we would be well taken care of, and we were not disappointed.

Trip of a lifetime - WOW! This trip was amazing. The organisation from luxury holidays was superb and Shishir (the company representative) was exceptional. From the time of booking to completion Shishir was always available and nothing was too much trouble. The trip itself was worth every Penny; the pick up and airport arrangements went perfectly, the helicopter flights including landings in lukla were out of this world and the mountain experience is one I will never forget. If you do nothing else on your visit to Nepal, book this trip with Shishir. If I could award 10 stars I would!!
