One of our friend recommend to Mr. Prakash lamsal, the owner of Nepal Himalayas Trekking for Nepal Travel package. When we email to this trekking agency then according to our desire they suggest for us Everest base camp trek with helicopter return tour of the Everest region. Mr. Prakash offering quite reasonable cost for this trip for us and we agree for this trip with Nepal Himalayas Trekking company. And finally what we received it was more than great than our agreement. Our guide and sherpa are very helpful, kind and lovely. 

We are going to highly recommend to this company for any kinds of tour in the Nepal. 

Than you very much.

I and my girlfriend have wonderful time in the Everest region with the help of Nepal Himalayas Trekking company. We don't have more than 11 days, although we are super exciting to do Everest base camp trek and Mount Everest sightseeing by helicopter. By luckly we met mr. Prakash in the street of thamel and operates this trip in this September, 2022. During the journey, there is raining but our incredible trip replace all this cloudy and raining moment. Because we have very helpful, kind, innocent trekking guide and porter in this journey & very young, experience & handsome helicopter pilote to return Kathmandu from Gorakhshep. 

Thank you very much for everything. You guys are excellent. Have a good day.
