After finishing our trek in Lukla, we decided to fly back to Kathmandu instead of walking down. It turned out to be an amazing decision. The helicopter offered incredible views of the Himalayas, with Everest glimmering in the distance.
Nepal Helicopter Service was professional and well-organized. The pilot handled every movement smoothly, and the entire experience felt luxurious and safe. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a scenic return to Kathmandu.
