      Everest Helicopter Tour

      I’m so greatful and thankful to join group for this trip and i’m so lucky to have Hari as a new guide.

      First, i was planning to go ABC, but during the trip i decided to come down early because i have a problem with my unprofessional tour guide (from another company).
      Luckily, i met this wonderful group of thai family and their guide(Hari). They allowed me to join them, help me book a hotel and even ask if i want to go with them on an Everest helicopter trip. At first i was hesitated to go. But after i came back, i will never forgive myself if i refuse this trip.

      This trip is uncomparable to any experience in my life.
      Everthing from flying with helicopter to enjoying the majestic view of Everest.
      First we fly to Lukla, having the best momo and hot tea taking some rest. Then fly to the other place that i cannot remember the name to enjoy Everest.

      I highly recomend Hari. He and his crew were so nice, humble, kind and professional.
      Even help me at the best he can though i’m not his customer.
      I will definitely choose Hari as my guide next time i come here.
