Lifetime memories - We had a marvellous experience with Adventure White Mountain. Dipak is a wonderful person who kept us updated all throughout our experience, both before and during our EBC helicopter ride. He went above and beyond our expectations in ensuring we have a lifetime experience to see Mt Everest and ensuring safety. Looking forward to more such trips with Dipak. I will anyday recommend Adventure White Mountains and Mr Dipak for EBC heli rides.

Helicopter Tour - We had great views of Everest and surrounding areas. The helicopter trip was cool. I did this with some work colleagues and we enjoyed it. The operator Dipak kept us informed prior to the trip which was helpful.

Highly, highly recommended!!!! - This is a magnificent experience. I highly, highly recommend this trip. We took a flight with three others to Lukla airport and then to Pheriche. From there we went as separate groups due to weight limits for the helicopter at that altitude. My wife and I (along with the pilot) flew over base camp and viewed Mt Everest. Neither words nor photos can adequately describe the experience. Go. Experience Everest. It is amazing.

Great tour organizer with above and beyond service! - There is well worth the cost and Dipak is a fantastic organizer for the trip! The price may sound steep, but there’s about two hours of helicopter flight time and a lot of logistics that go into this and you visit several amazing places—nearly every minute of the flight is scenic and stunning. Where Dipak excels is briefing you and staying in contact throughout the whole experience, as multiple tour companies book their clients directly onto flights with the helicopter operators. I was the only person on my flight that had booked through Dipak (others had used several other tour companies). On the flight, our helicopter pilot left us in Lukla for about 25 minutes to do a quick shuttle flight of supplies before coming back to continue the tour. To my surprise, I was the only person that knew this was normal and to be expected, as Dipak had briefed me on that and to approach the experience with a time-flexible mindset. Above and beyond that, Dipak stayed in contact with me the whole time to make sure things were going well. If you value service, Dipak and White Mountain is who you want to book with!

Memories to last a lifetime - Everest helicopter trip & Poonhill Trek - We had two excursions with Adventure White Mountain. Our first one was a helicopter ride to Everest and the other was a 4 day hiking trip to Poonhill. They were both excellent! My 7 year old and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were very well looked after from the moment we got in contact via what’s app. Response time to questions are very quick. Our trip was quite spontaneous and yet Dipak was able to book us in to everything we wanted to do with only a few days notice. Our guide for the trek, Shambu, and porter, Dinesh, really made the trek for us, going at a speed we could manage, making sure we will were well looked after throughout the whole 4 days. We have made memories to last a lifetime and we are forever grateful to the team at Adventure White Mountain for making that happen. Nepal is a beautiful country. I highly recommend exploring it with Adventure White Mountain - they go above and beyond and you absolutely get great value for money.

What a day! - This was a magnificent trip. Everything was well organised with a hotel pickup and guidance through the airport. Weather couldn't have been more perfect for our flight, viewing Mt Everest from several angles and flying over base camp. Excellent stop at the Everest View Hotel too.
