A great trip on Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour

Excellent ways to get close to Mt. Everest and the giant peaks of the Himalayan range. It was out of my dreams, being so close to towering giant peaks with Mt. Everest at a near distance. A great trip on Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour of a few hours, truly recommendable for those who do not have enough time to trek.  It was so awesome and fascinating from the moment of take-off to landing facing mind-blowing views of the Himalayan chain of peaks. However, it did not land at the Everest base camp due to technical region, as well as unsafe for landing the chopper. But the views from the base of high Kalapathar Hill were so brilliant it was a breathtaking moment for all of us. Thanks to Team Himalaya for arranging this wonderful Everest Helicopter Tour.
