Taxi to Kala Patthar

pakirishmd, Nov 2019
The helicopter tour was terrific. The flights to Lukla and then to Pheriche and then to the Everest View Hotel were great. The amount of time to take pictures at Kala Patthar was good and the breakfast at the hotel was really nice. It certainly helped that we had a nice, clear day in November. There were just five of us in the helicopter. Great.
