Everest helicopter flight with landing - Absolutely amazing tour. Everything has been organized to every single detail. This is maybe the only helicopter company in Nepal which can really deliver Kalapathar landing as since 2024 it is very complicated to get permit. At least I have experience that three other companies I have asked for promised it however non of them was able to truly deliver this experience. Landing at Kalapathar is one of the best experiences one can do and totally recomended over just fly over experience.

MOUNT EVEREST - OUR BIGGEST DREAM !!!! - OUR MOUNT EVEREST, MAY 4, 2024. We had an amazing two-week custom designed trip to Nepal through the Himalaya Holiday Service Pvt. Ltd with Rajan-Buddhi. Our highlight was our private helicopter tour for only two of us with landings at Lukla Airport, Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Kalapathar. Our pilot who flew us was renowned and exceptionally skillful who made us feel 100% safe where safety was always first! On our flight to Mt Everest, our amazing and extremely kind and very knowledgeable private tour guide, Paras and his son, accompanied us on our way to Lukla. The Himalaya Holiday Service was outstanding in every way on our trips with Rajans impeccable help, care, dedication, and perfection. He treated us like family and our trip was a big success due to the flexibility required and their quick responses and flight scheduling. Being on ALL 7 continents and adventures all over the World, Rajan-Buddhi stole our hearts by making Mt Everest our top dream come true. We highly recommend them because everyone should take this helicopter trip at least once in a lifetime! Thank you, Rajan and Paras, for all of your outstanding care, beautiful hearts and for all of the Love that shined with you onto us!
Namaste! Namaste! Brian and Anna Degani

Amazing Everest adventure - What an unforgettable experience!!! Memories that will definitely last a lifetime!!! I can't put in words how breath taking (literally and figuratively) the view of Sagarthama/Chomolungma/Mt Everest was up close at Kala Patthar. Very thankful to Mr Buddhi (tour operator) for making this trip happen, to our pilot Mr Niranjan (our pilot) for making the flight smooth flying and safe, and Mr Paras (our tour guide) for this fun and amazing trip. I can't say enough how to thank you guys. This is extremely highly recommended, especially if you don't have time and have some physical limitations in doing a Mt Everest trip. I have motion sickness and back problems but this trip did not give me any problems at all. Will be back with my kids and family soon for sure. This was one of my birthday gifts to my wife, we got the private tour, and every single penny is worth it... and more!!! For you who are still on the fence, I really recommend you should try this... you won't get disappointed.

Experience of a lifetime!! - This is an experience of a lifetime! We booked the private helicopter tour for two people with fly over base camp and landing at Kalapathar for photos. It was amazing! We felt safe and in expert care and hands the entire time. Buddhi came to our hotel the afternoon prior to our scheduled flight and gave us a thorough program and safety briefing which we really appreciated. Our guide accompanying us, Paras was fantastic. Our pilot was exceptionally skilled. The scenery and overall experience was truly breathtaking!! Worth every penny. We highly recommend using them!!

This took living large to a whole new level!!!! Absolute Perfection of a day! - Going on this adventure to Mt. Everest today with Buddhi surpassed my very high expectations exponentially!!! Buddhi is the consummate professional combined with one of the most endearing person’s you can meet. Words do not do justice what a fantastic experience this was and how every single step went without a hitch. Of course we came to see the mountain. We did not know we would enjoy spending the day with a mountain hearted man too. Over 65 countries and many adventures later, Buddhi has stolen our hearts and made this #1 of all. Most of all…our safety was the main focus with Buddhi and that is why everyone definitely should use this company! Highly recommend!! Thank you Buddhi for one of the best days of our life! Namaste

Unforgettable 🙏 - It was an amazing trip. Very well organized! Our trip took 5 hours with 3 stops: Lukla village, where one of the most dangerous airports in the world is located; Kala Patthar Summit - a stop in front of Everest peak; Everest hotel, where we had breakfast with an awesome view of the mountains!
Thanks to Buddhi and the other staff for our unforgettable experience! Namaste 🙏

Bucket list Experience! - This was one of the most amazing tours ever. Buddhi showed up at our hotel, walked us through the logistics and bam we were next to Everest 2 days later. The experience was as described and made for a lifetime bucket list experience. If you want to see Everest and the rest of this beautiful region this is the way to go.
We also coordinated with them for a Kathmandu UNESCO site tour. We had a private van, guide and driver. All totally professional, extremely knowledgeable and delivered a wonderful experience.

Magnificent Everest base camp trip - We made the best decision using Himalayan Holiday Service for our Everest base camp private helicopter tour. Buddhi was kind and caring ensuring our Everest experience was top notch. Wife has some walking difficulty and Buddhi helped her sherpa style throughout the trip. Floating among the stunning Himalayas then landing at base camp followed by a wonderful breakfast at the Everest view hotel was unforgettable.
Thx again Buddhi,
Chuck and Diane

Magnificent, magical and memorable - This was indeed a memorable trip with superb organisation by Buddhi from Himalaya Holiday Service from our initial enquiry right up to the return to our hotel after the trip. We decided in December 2022 that we wanted to take a helicopter trip to Everest Base Camp when we visited Nepal in March 2023. Buddhi replied promptly to our initial enquiry with information on our options. There were three of us and we decided to take the private helicopter option. The details were quickly finalised by exchange of emails with Buddhi and a date agreed for the trip. Buddhi emphasised that the weather in the mountains was unpredictable and we should be prepared to be flexible with our dates and be ready to shift our trip to another day if there was poor weather. We arranged to stay in Kathmandu for five days to give us this flexibility.
When we arrived in Kathmandu in March, Buddhi contacted us and arranged to come to our hotel the day before our trip to brief us what to expect. This helped ensure all the members of our small group were fully prepared for the trip.
At 6am the following day Buddhi collected us from our hotel, took us to the airport and then accompanied us on the flight. Everything went without a hitch. Buddhi was at our side almost all of the time making sure everything went well and assisting one older member of the party who had some difficulty walking. (Helicopter weight restrictions at altitude meant Buddhi could not be with us on the final leg to Base Camp and he remained at the Everest View Hotel and was there to greet us when we returned for breakfast.)
The weather was good on the day and we enjoyed some superb views of the mountains, and of course of Everest. The few minutes we were able to spend on the ground and out of the helicopter at Kala Patthar above Base Camp was the highlight of a trip filled with many memorable moments. And breakfast at the Everest View Hotel was a breakfast we will never forget.
For most, this will probably be a once in a lifetime trip and it is not cheap. You want to be confident it will be well organised. Buddhi provided that confidence and, on the day, ensured all went well. To anyone thinking of taking this trip to Everest Base Camp, I can, without hesitation, recommend Buddhi and Himalaya Holiday Service.

Unbelievable experience that you should make every effort to go on! - This was such special trip with Buddhi. He was punctual, thoughtful, professional and extremely insightful in pointing out all the wonderful sights along the way to Everest. The extra stop at the monastery was also breathtaking. Thank you to Buddhi for this most memorable experience in Nepal.
