Really cool experience

Rachel_L, Apr 2026

I used Adventure Master Trek for a couple of tours (the helicopter Everest tour and their Kathmandu Heritage tour of the major temples which I would also recommend). Raj was very communicative and Whatsapp'd frequently after booking. Questions were answered very timely, I don't know when they sleep! For the Everest tour, they picked us up from our hotel on time (05:10) to beat airport traffic, and contracted with Annapurna Helicopters for the tour itself. Expect some waiting around - we didn't really take off until 8 am. There's an order of take off and you have to wait your helicopter's turn in the queue, and obviously medevac flights take precedence. But it's really cool seeing the helicopters' takeoffs and landings. The views were amazing and the topography very interesting. When you get closer to the Mt. Everest area, the helicopter lands, splits the group and takes turns bring the group around Everest / surrounding ranges / base camp in 2s and 3s. It's a pretty incredible and beautiful experience. Other highlights are stopping for breakfast at the everest hotel (you're hungry by this stage and breakfast is substantial!) to enjoy a meal with everest in the background. We also enjoyed the stop in Lukla with the short runway and cliff-edge takeoff, that was pretty cool. Anyway, although this is one of the more costly tours you could do, I think it's worth it.
