I booked a helicopter flight to Everest basecamp. Everything worked out perfectly, no complaints. The team was constantly in contact with me. And I had a fantastic experience. Not only the reach of the basecamp but also the flight over the steep valleys was worth it. In the heli the flight is quite low so that houses and villages are visible. The landscape is unforgettable and so is the sight of the eight-thousanders around. Just fantastic!
