Despite the tour advertising landing at base camp (the reason I booked the trip) or offering landing at Kala Patthar as a backup if weather wasn't permitting, I was informed last minute that I would not be landing at either. The reason given was that they only allowed so many y helicopters to land per day. This was woeful planning by the tour company given I booked months in advance. So while the experience was still amazing in its own right, I can't credit the company for the splendour of the Himalayas. Overall, I was disappointed they denied me the opportunity to achieve the main aim of coming to Nepal. Especially since it appears to be due to poor organisation.Show more

Thank you for your feedback regarding your Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. We understand your disappointment about not landing at Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar. As we explained after your booking (though we regret we didn't receive a response), landing permits are strictly limited, and only rescue helicopters are permitted to land at Everest Base Camp. Sightseeing helicopters are not allowed to land. While we strive to make every tour as described, this is a circumstance beyond our control. We value your business and hope that despite the change, you still enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Himalayas.

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour was a bloody ripper adventure! The chopper ride was smooth as silk and dead comfy, and the views of the mountains were fair dinkum breathtaking. When we landed at Everest Base Camp, I couldn't believe me bloody eyes! It was unreal and we had a bonzer time exploring and soaking up the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Our guide was a top bloke, he knew his stuff and was a great laugh, making sure we had the time of our lives. All in all, a bloody unreal adventure that I'd recommend to anyone.Show more
