Review of the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour from Kathmandu, with Everest views, Lukla refueling, Everest View Hotel, costs, tips, and weather advice.

“On trip had to be cancelled due to visibility issues. I give the company 5 stars because they were in constant contact in keeping us updated regarding conditions and they provided a full refund even though the trip was cancelled the morning of trip due to weather. I would highly recommend them and plan on coming back and allowing a few extra days so I can make this once in a lifetime trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 415 reviews · from $10

See Kathmandu’s seven UNESCO sites in one long day with hotel pickup, guide, transport, and lunch, while weighing pace, fees, and value.

“Our one-day tour of Kathmandu's UNESCO sites with Anon was the perfect cultural finale after our Everest Base Camp experience. With only a single day to explore in Kathmandu, Anon masterfully guided us through the city's history and living culture, offering deep insights at every UNESCO heritage site stop. His knowledge is factual given university degree on the Nepal’s history and culture. We ended the day feeling we had truly grasped the soul of Kathmandu and Nepalese culture. Moreover, Anon is a good photographer! Our driver was very patient and drove very well in the busy city! This was an unforgettable day in Kathmandu.”

Explore Bhaktapur’s temples and Newari streets, then ride to Nagarkot for Himalayan views on this flexible private day tour from Kathmandu.

“PROS: Quick booking, good organization. Before pickup time I was contacted by the guide on WhatsApp. He and the driver were there even earlier to pick me up. Guide had good English and explained everything in Bhaktapur. Also answered all Nepal related questions. Car was new and very clean. CONS: This is actually not the fault of the tour itself but the circumstances in Nepal. Nagarkot is famous for sunrise and sunset but due to the weather it’s very rare to see. I was there in November that supposed to be peak season and advisable time to visit yet there is nothing to see. Also the spot itself is full…”
