Reviews for Everest Base camp Heli trek: I'm not typically a review guy but I am compelled after our recent experience with Mountain Sherpa Trekking, the 12-days/11 nights Luxury Everest base camp heli Trek. Our guide, Rinji Sherpa, was passionate, tremendously expert, warm and active and gave us a fantastic insight throughout the 11 days. You'd be hard pressed to find a more qualified Sherpa guide, and guessing by his connections with fellow guides, porters and other representatives he could very well be the most popular person on the Everest trekking trail. We stayed 3 nights at very luxuries historical Hotels which is very centrally located. The hotel was very lovely, helpful and polite staff. During our trek, the lodges were delightful, especially the Namche Bazzar (we spend 2 Nights) that was located above namche with panoramic Himalayas views. The rooms were nice and clean. The helicopter flight back from Kalapatter to Lukla was amazing. We had most beautiful views of Himalayas while we were flying back to Lukla. Unforgettable experience! While the people were great, the preparation and arrangement were also exceptional. Everything was well prearranged and well communicated, both in the lead up to the trek and on the trek itself. With so many tour companies offering this trek, we found it hard to try and pick the best option. If you are looking comfort trek options, this is the best option. Mountain Sherpa trekking & Expeditions is a great service and well worth the money.Show more
