Highly Recommended

I have had the most amazing experience in Nepal. It was my first helicopter ride and I enjoyed it to the fullest. I did EBC helicopter trek with Everest Base Camp Trekking tours and it was a trek of lifetime. The views were amazingly beautiful. Even at such altitude the services were very good and I think I’ve got the true value of my money and much more in return. Highly recommend this company.
