Amazing Helicopter Tour - Worth Every Penny - I recently went on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Luxury Holidays Nepal, and it was worth every penny. The views from the helicopter were unmatched, with clear sights of Everest, Kala Patthar, and other towering peaks. Flying over these legendary mountains was a thrill. We had a short stop at Pheriche, which was great for acclimatizing and taking some fantastic photos. The highlight for me was the landing at Hotel Everest View for breakfast. The hotel lives up to its name with stunning views of Everest right from the dining area. The breakfast was good too! From start to finish, the tour was excellently managed. Our pilot was skilled and shared fascinating insights about the region. I can’t recommend this tour enough for anyone wanting to see Everest up close without trekking. Kudos to Luxury Holidays Nepal for an unforgettable experience!

Once in a Lifetime Experience with Stunning Scenery - Just got back from the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour, and I am still in awe of the experience. Flying over Everest and the surrounding peaks was surreal, and I couldn't stop taking photos. The helicopter was comfortable, and our pilot made sure we had the best views. We landed at Pheriche for a brief stop, which was perfect for stretching our legs and soaking in the high-altitude atmosphere. The best part was our breakfast at Hotel Everest View. Having a meal with such stunning scenery was like a dream. The entire trip was seamless, from the pickup in Kathmandu to the return. The team at Luxury Holidays Nepal did an excellent job, and our guide was friendly and informative. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Nepal!

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 👍🙏✌️😅
