Exhilarating Flight! - Buddhi provided exceptional service with prompt and thorough responses to all my inquiries, which set a high standard among other providers. His attention to detail, clear communication, and competitive pricing made me decide to choose his service. The experience itself surpassed all expectations. Perfect for those with limited time and mobility, and a willingness to invest in an extraordinary adventure. Safety was their number one priority throughout, ensuring a worry-free and exhilarating journey. Despite cloudy conditions during my flight, the moment of soaring over the Everest base camp was truly enchanting. I highly suggest this trip, especially during the best season for the most breathtaking views (Buddhi can provide advice on this). If you're thinking of going on this trip with Buddhi, don't hesitate; you'll be in capable hands for a wonderful experience.

Brilliant. Recommended for families and friends - So we got to the hotel and enquired about Mount Everest heli trip and literally within 10 mins Bhudhi was there with his laptop and ready to explain everything. He is professional, clear and precise. The following morning he was there on the dot ready to go! He delivered exactly what he promised the evening before. No messing about, no hidden charges, no delays, no hassle at all. When we landed back, he was there waiting for us. Overall he made such an amazing experience even better!

You will be in good hands - Buddhi is a man who makes dreams come true in the best way. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of visiting Everest Base Camp. When I started researching ways to get to EBC via helicopter, I looked into the different providers and Buddhi was the most responsive and cost effective. He was quick to respond to any questions, yet at the same time thorough and patient. For me Nepal was my 169th country visited. I arrived in Kathmandu from Kabul Afghanistan (connecting via Dubai), and have continued on after Nepal to Africa where I am now at my 173th UN country so 20 more to go. I say this because of course it means I have worked with many good tour providers, as well as some not so good. Most are good, but only a few are great, and Buddhi is as good as it gets. If you want to go to EBC via helicopter, he is your man. Buddhi owns the business and owns the customer relationship. He is accountable and transparent. He is responsive and friendly. In essence, he is the perfect tour operator. Buddhi answered all my questions in advance via WhatsApp, met with me the day before my helicopter flight (and bought me lunch), then took me out for a meal in Kathmandu after the tour concluded (at his suggestion and again out of his pocket since he wanted to host me). It was clear to me during the flight process that safety is the #1 priority for the business. During my trip, our pilot was called away to do a rescue mission for an injured trekker so we got extra time at Everest View Hotel. It turns out he is one of the go-to helicopter pilots in the country and used to transport the Prime Minister of Nepal. If you are considering arranging a trip with Buddhi, do it. You will be in good hands.

Excellent Company Safety First - On trip had to be cancelled due to visibility issues. I give the company 5 stars because they were in constant contact in keeping us updated regarding conditions and they provided a full refund even though the trip was cancelled the morning of trip due to weather. I would highly recommend them and plan on coming back and allowing a few extra days so I can make this once in a lifetime trip.

Amazing Everest base Camp helicopter tour - If you want to experience the Himalayas, take this tour. It's simply breathtaking. It's a once in a lifetime experience. The view from the Everest view hotel is gorgeous. The ride was safe. We didn't have anything to worry about as we were in safe hands. Also, the tour coordinator "Buddhi" is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He dropped by the hotel a day before the tour and briefed about the tour. It's all well coordinated and I personally & highly recommend the tour and the agent.

Everest basecamp helicopter tour - I loved this tour! Right from the beginning my guide took care of everything for me and explained in detail the process of it all. He spoke great English and even lent me a coat so I wouldn’t have to buy one just for this trip. I saw everything I wanted to see, I was so happy when I got to see the basecamp and kumbu ice fall. The breakfast at hotel was great and great views! I highly recommend this tour! Buddi was a pleasure to work with and so very kind and professional. It’s totally worth the money and I would do it again in a heartbeat
