About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AbbyDAustria0 contributionsBest experience of our lives!!!From the minute we contacted Buddhi we got personal service and an excellent experience. We made sure we had quite a few days as options, and it turned out that our first day in Kathmandu was the right weather and so Buddhi and Paris met us at our hotel, briefed us and then picked us up the next morning. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our captain, KK, was incredible, and both he and Paris pointed out all the things we could see from the air and the landing at Kalapathur was breathtaking! Honestly, I can't rave enough about this experience. Because of the time of year, we also got crystal clear skies AND we got breakfast on the terrace at the Everest View Hotel with no one else around. It was peaceful and stunning and we could take all the pictures we wanted. This has been the best experience of our lives!!!!Written 17 December 2024
- eleishab20230 contributionsInformative and interestingIncredible city was enhanced by the knowledge and care from Paras on this tour. Was on my own but Paras made sure I felt safe and informed the entire time. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get an in-depth and complete tour of Kathmandu's main sites.Written 27 November 2024
- Stephen S0 contributionsTrip of a lifetimeThe whole trip more than lived up to my expectations. Everything detail was looked after from the pre trip overview at the hotel to being dropped back at the hotel at the conclusion of the trip. The guide provided was very professional and looked after every detail to make the trip go as smoothly as possible. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of making a helicopter flight to Everest.Written 17 November 2024
- JuloRos0 contributionsEverest helicopter flight with landingAbsolutely amazing tour. Everything has been organized to every single detail. This is maybe the only helicopter company in Nepal which can really deliver Kalapathar landing as since 2024 it is very complicated to get permit. At least I have experience that three other companies I have asked for promised it however non of them was able to truly deliver this experience. Landing at Kalapathar is one of the best experiences one can do and totally recomended over just fly over experience.Written 31 October 2024
- 213manavd0 contributionsGreat views, helpful and kind people.Amazing views, and the kindest people, the plane provides the easiest way to view the peaks of the Himalayas. The experience leaves you wanting to come back to the mountains for more.Written 20 August 2024

- Voyage285311588730 contributionsIncredibleAmazing! We had an awesome tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions and showed us all the UNESCO sites, he was very patient. The company is also very reliable and professional, he really made our time there magnificent and easy for us to access everything.Written 19 July 2024
- annasI7234WO0 contributionsKathmandu tourIt was a nice trip. The car was clean and air-conditioned, the drive was smooth. Paras was friendly and knowledgeable. There was no rush, I could enjoy every place to the fullest. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe. Was a great thing to do on my last day in Kathmandu and they conveniently dropped me off at the airport. Highly recommended!Written 18 July 2024
- Voyage285311588730 contributionsVery professional and knowledgeableVery professional and plenty of years of experience. We felt extremely comfortable with everything he planned for us and how honest he was about what we would be able to see. Unfortunately it was monsoon season so we had to cancel the helicopter and do the plane instead but we felt so glad to have someone as professional and honest and felt fortunate to have found him. The experience (plane or helicopter) is well worth it. We decided to go on a guided tour of the city visiting some of the UNESCO sites and our tour guide Paras was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Glad we met them both, we highly recommend and will go through them if we go back to Nepal as well as recommend to family and friends.Written 16 July 2024

- W3045BHsusann0 contributionsExceptional companyWhat a wonderful company! I had 36 hours in Kathmandu, and was looking for a blend of culture, history, and nature. Buddhi is incredibly helpful and transparent — not only did he arrange a day-of, reasonably priced private tour of Kathmandu with the knowledge and lovely guide Paras, he also sat down with me in person to walk through what an Everest helicopter tour entails the day before we were looking to fly. Incredibly ethical company, you’ll have a top-notch experience. Thank you, Buddhi and Paras!Written 22 June 2024
- 450fionar0 contributionsPerfect tour with lots of interesting informationWhat a fantastic day! Paras is an extremely knowledgeable guide and knows every corner. He can tell you all about Hindu and Buddhist symbols and traditions and show you where they are depicted in the many carvings, statues and paintings. The tour is paced just right and you'll see lots of monuments and get a really good feel for the present and past history of the three places. Paras can answer any questions and is also fun to be with. Totally recommended!Written 20 June 2024
- Andrew B0 contributionsTake me to Kathmandu!Paras was fantastic, very knowledgeable. If you haven't been to Kathmandu yet, it's a must stop. The culture, the people, the history, the food all fantastic. The driver was awesome too. I highly recommend this tour and these fine people. The hospitality is top notch.Written 20 June 2024
- annadD3917EW0 contributionsMOUNT EVEREST - OUR BIGGEST DREAM !!!!OUR MOUNT EVEREST, MAY 4, 2024. We had an amazing two-week custom designed trip to Nepal through the Himalaya Holiday Service Pvt. Ltd with Rajan-Buddhi. Our highlight was our private helicopter tour for only two of us with landings at Lukla Airport, Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Kalapathar. Our pilot who flew us was renowned and exceptionally skillful who made us feel 100% safe where safety was always first! On our flight to Mt Everest, our amazing and extremely kind and very knowledgeable private tour guide, Paras and his son, accompanied us on our way to Lukla. The Himalaya Holiday Service was outstanding in every way on our trips with Rajans impeccable help, care, dedication, and perfection. He treated us like family and our trip was a big success due to the flexibility required and their quick responses and flight scheduling. Being on ALL 7 continents and adventures all over the World, Rajan-Buddhi stole our hearts by making Mt Everest our top dream come true. We highly recommend them because everyone should take this helicopter trip at least once in a lifetime! Thank you, Rajan and Paras, for all of your outstanding care, beautiful hearts and for all of the Love that shined with you onto us! Namaste! Namaste! Brian and Anna DeganiWritten 2 June 2024

Excellent service from Himalaya Holiday Service who came to pick us up from our hotel and accompanied us to the Airport for the excursion with Summit Helicopters. Helicopter was a ten year old Airbus Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil, pilot was extremely proficient and immediately instilled a feeling of security. Due to fog in the Kathmandu Valley, pilot delayed departure twice until he was confident of visibility. Flight to Lukla and on to Base Camp took approximately 50 minutes and was worth every penny for the views.
Only gripe that I would have about this tour is that you are mandated to have breakfast in the Everest view hotel, who charged a frankly outrageous $35 each for an undercooked fried egg. Trekkers who arrive at this hotel get a completely different menu in rupees that is a fraction of the cost of the "helicopter breakfast" menu offered to us. When I picked up one of these menus on leaving to review, it was quickly snapped out of my hands with a curt "this not for you".
Whilst overall I cannot fault the helicopter service, nor the Himalaya Holiday Service for the tour, this customer gouging left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth. If you do this tour, refuse the breakfast.

I found this service online thru Instagram. I was leery booking with a company so far away since it was a larger sum of money, but took a leap of faith. So glad I did! It was so easy arranging the dates & pick-up. From the beginning, Buddhi, was super responsive & explained exactly what to expect. He picked us up at our hotel at the designated time & from there explained exactly what to expect. The pilot used on our flight, Captain Dipak Pun, had over 20 years rescue flight helicopter experience so the nerves were calmed a lot by that. The ride was smooth & I didn’t get sick like I normally do with my motion sickness. The views were amazing & the breakfast at Base Camp hotel was delicious. End-to-end, super smooth & awesome experience. The rest of our group did a flight around in an airplane without the landing or breakfast, and was charged nearly half what we were. When I think about double the cost, the value is tremendous. If you have the ability, the helicopter experience is much more exciting and rich vs the airplane. I recommend working thru this service to anyone who wants a turn key experience to mark Everest off their bucket list! ❤️🇳🇵🙌✅🗻👌

Wow! An experience of a lifetime. I had to wait a couple of days as the weather wasn’t ideal but I was kept informed each evening by Buddhi who runs the tour. When I got notification that we were flying the next morning Buddhi arranged the pick up from my motel and everything ran smoothly.
The view from the flight was breathtaking and Buddhi explained the different mountains that we were looking at. We landed at Lukla, Kala Patthar and Everest Hotel.
Words can’t describe the perfect conditions and scenery that we were privileged to.
I’d like to thank Buddhi for his professionalism in organising and running the tour. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone that is thinking about going to Everest without actually trying to climb it.

We contacted Buddhi via his Whatsapp phonenumber listed on their own website and we received a reply very quickly. We had some questions about the flight and instead of calling or texting, Buddhi came to our hotel to explain all the details. This made us feel very comfortable, as we have never booked a tour of this price.
The next day we were picked up on time and drove to the airport. We did a shared flight and the other couple was very lovely. We rotated seats, so we all got to sit in the front once or twice. It was exciting to share this experience with other people. The helicopter flight itself felt very smooth, not a bumpy ride at all. The views were amazing of course and everything went exactly as stated in the itinerary. Experience of a lifetime! Would recommend this tour!

When you step out of the helicopter at 17,573 with Mt Everest looking down on you, it is well worth the cost of the helicopter tour. We contacted Himalaya Holiday service asking for a last minute tour, and they were able to arrange it for us. We were picked up on schedule and taken to the airport for our tour. After our safety briefing, we were off. The mountain range views were breathtaking as was our stop at base camp. We decided to have the breakfast at Mt Everest View Hotel and what a view we had while enjoying our delicious breakfast. We didn’t want to leave. When we arrived back at the airport, our guide was waiting for us. We were very satisfied with the service we received from everyone and always felt that our safety was the most important factor. We would highly recommend Himalaya Holiday Service to provide a great tour.

Definitely one of the best experiences of my life. I booked with Buddi about a month ago specially for my mum’s birthday and he made sure we had an amazing time. From scheduling with me and with other passengers so we could have a shared flight to making sure of our safety and giving us an absolutely wonderful time, I couldn’t have asked more.
The ride itself is absolutely worth the time and price - we got to take loads of pictures at Kalapathar and see the Everest!! The helicopter itself looked royal and our pilot was extremely experienced 🤩🥳 as a seasoned traveler, definitely recommend it if you are coming to Nepal and don’t have time to trek or you are with a parent. In my mums words “what a marvellous birthday to remember”

One of the most exciting trip! The white mountain is massive and so beautiful. I can’t trek but going to base camp was also equal accomplishment for me.
Booking was easy and our guide spoke perfect English.
He communicated at all times informing the status of weather - we had 3 rainy days so he kept pushing the flight for a sunny day. And a sunny day we got!
The flight was smooth and I met a wonderful group of people that I am sure we will continue to be in contact.
Totally worth it!

This tour was incredible, the views are breathtaking.
Buddi the tour operator is very professional and knowledgeable, he visited the hotel a day in advance to advise us on what to expect. He then picked us from our different hotels in the morning, took us to the airport and helped with the helicopter check-ins.
The airport had suspended flights for a short time in the morning due to foggy weather but Buddi went out of his way to get us a very comfortable waiting area near the helipad and away from the crowds.
The flight was very smooth and the pilot ensured we got the best views, we stopped over at Lukla airport, Base camp view and Hotel Everest view.
Really glad I took the tour and selected this company, totally worth it!!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Buddhi (The operator) is honestly one of the best people I have met professionally and personally. The man had answers for all questions I had and was incredibly creative in finding solutions to my schedule challenge. I wanted to do this tour on my birthday but it falls pretty much right at the end of the monsoon season when demand is low and weather is incredibly unpredictable. Not only did he find a way to keep the cost to individual rate but he timed the tour on the date I needed so that I had some of the best views for pictures. See my pic for proof. Also can’t forget how awesome Captain Aakash was. Very informative and a maestro at the stick!
I enjoyed my time on this tour so much I asked Buddhi if he could arrange a day tour of KTM for me as well. A guide (Prakash) and a driver (Indra) were arranged for the next day and both gentlemen were some of the best I have met. MUST ask Buddhi for this.
Made my KTM and Nepal experience an absolute joy. Thank you!

An unforgettable experience that I recommend to everyone! Buddhi is very knowledgeable, generous and extremely trustworthy. The views are outstanding, it felt like a dream...
I was a little afraid at first because of the possibility for high altitude sickness but Buddhi told me that I had nothing to worry about.
He was right, everything was amazing and I had no reason to be afraid. It all went smoothly & I felt so comfortable! I also noticed that the helicopters are made by Airbus which I appreciated being from France. The pilot is one of a very few extremely skilled pilots that have been flying for many years and have saved so many lives.
The whole experience is a once in a lifetime memory. I rarely recommend anything because I feel like some businesses are all about making money but Buddhi is purely genuine and it’s definitely worth it! We could feel the passion that he has for his business by making sure that everyone’s having an amazing time, is safe and happy :) The views are outstanding, it feels like a dream...

Hi,
Have previous guests suffered from altitude sickness during the trip?
Thank you
Written 27 October 2022
Hello. We had a standby oxygen just in case someone from our family starts to get sick. Our daughter was given the smallest oxygen dose as a precaution ( suggested by our helicopter captain) because she is young. We were advised to drink plenty of water afterwards. We only stayed there maximum 25 minutes. No one got altitude sickness in our family during and after the tour.

Do you specifically mean the Everest flight or Nepal in general? We took the helicopter flight in April and needed layers (I borrowed a coat from a friend who had done the Base Camp trek) and also wore long leggings. Nepal itself was very warm at that time of year too

I am interested in the tour, but will be only the Nepal area during in late June. The tour date would be June 28 or 29. I know it's the rainy season, so do you operate the tour then? Is Everest visible with the rain clouds? Thanks for the advice.

Hi - Do you land at the real Everest Base Camp (Nepal side) where expeditioners stay on their way to top of Everest? I don't see any pictures of the actual base camp itself.
Thanks,
Jeff

Late to the party for this question but I wouldn't let that put you off...you fly over Base Camp and the perspective you get is incredible, to see the tiny tents in comparison to the glacier and surrounding mountains is amazing. You won't regret it, its the trip of a lifetime!
