The story of flying above the mountains
Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour
Viewing Everest has always been a dream. Getting to view one of the highest peaks in the world. Without much effort and budget, it is really a blessing. I did want to travel to Nepal a few years back, but back then, the helicopter tours to the Himalayas were very expensive, and I didn't have enough time for a month-long trekking. Thankfully, now you can complete the Everest tour in less than two hours from Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. So I will completed this trip no the Christmas holiday last December, and I really wanted to share my experience with you guys.
When I started to look at some of the helicopter Tour operators in Kathmandu, I found that many people have genuinely recommended Himalaya Masters. That is when I looked at their Everest base camp helicopter tour package and found out that they have the most reasonable price for the facilities they provide. I immediately send them an email and my booking was confirmed in less than 1 day. Then I booked my flight from New York to kathmandu. Since American citizen do not need to apply for tourist visa to Nepal beforehand, I just booked by tickets online and then travelled to Nepal.
It was along 16 hour flight but I was finally in KATHMANDU. I took two rest days while exploring the important cultural heritage of the city such as Kathmandu Durbar Square and Pashupatinath Temple. After the extensive city tours, I had my flight to Everest base camp on the third day. The journey started at around 8 AM in the morning when I was taken through the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan international Airport. At the airport the pilot gave us a short introduction session and briefing before we fly for about 25 minutes to Lukla.
Our first landing was done in Lukla where we first saw the mountains shining before us. We captured many beautiful photos and pictures before flying to the Everest base camp. The Helicopter hovered over the mountain and made its second landing at Kala Pathar. We were told that Kala Pathar is the highest viewpoint point for the trekkers and also the best view point of the Everest. I was stunned when I landed at Kala Pathar. The view here was unimaginably beautiful. We captured many photos and videos in about 20 minutes before getting back to our plane. Then, we did our 3rd landing was Everest view hotel which took us only about 10 minutes in the flight. Everest view hotel is one of the highest altitude hotel in the world and very luxury structure. Here we were offered a delicious breakfast while enjoying the last glimpse of the Everest and many other mountains in the region.
After about 30 minutes in Everest view Hotel the plane took it’s way back to Kathmandu. The guide briefed about the national parks, hills, and rivers along the way while we landed at Kathmandu in less than 30 minutes. Although the journey last only 2 hours, this is by far the most memorable trip of my life. Rahul definitely love to go to the Everest again but maybe this time I will be able to manage my time for trekking.
Unlike the popular belief, Nepal is a beautiful country to visit and also very safe. The pilot where experienced and the plane was in very good condition. I definitely recommend this trip for people who dream about visiting the most unique landmark in the Earth but do not have a lot of time and budget.

Now, as we approach a new trekking season in Nepal, let’s take a moment to talk about Everest Base Camp. As the winter passes by and we welcome the spring, Everest is now overcrowded with climbers. Obviously, this is the beginning of peak season for trekking to Everest base camp. And just to add more, this is also the only season that climbers prefer for climbing off to the Everest summit. And if you think that only a couple of people in the world can actually climb to the Everest summit, then You're quite wrong. In fact, now there is a whole new group of people who want to go up to the Everest summit. There has even been news of people getting stuck in base camps due to overcrowding.

“Voices of the Earth"
The old farmhouse stood at the edge of the forest, its weathered wood blending with the rich, green landscape. Sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow on the room where Eliza, a spirited teenager, sat across from her grandfather, Henry. Their usual Sunday breakfasts had taken on a new tone recently, filled with heavier discussions about the world outside their window.
