Heli to Namche

Aryan, a British friend suggested me to fly to Namche Bazaar, instead of trekking for 2 days and going through hassle. I was convinced so we boarded a heli to Namche with him. Although he was there for three passes trek, we were headed to EBC. Glad that we did this heli tour, and saved 2,3 days. Back in Kathmandu, we again did cultural tour recommended by Naba. It was great tour as well.

We took assistance from Naba and booked a Heli flight to Namche Bazaar. We were joined by some American travelers heading to Gokyo lakes. Luckily, the weather was great for us to do this heli tour. It was without any hassle and problems that we quickly landed in Namche. Thankful to Naba for his outstanding service.

Heli Service.

Naba offered me heli service at affordable price, price lower than many other companies. We did inquired to other Nepali agencies but we couldn't trust them. When I talked with Naba, he was sound and clear. He let us have with comfort and like family member. The heli service was quick and without a doubt the best we could find in Nepal. Third Rock is highly recommended from me.

Bad Service

The heli wasn't in good condition. I wasn't told about it, but it's not the travel company's fault. It was just 50-minute flight to Namche but the heli company wasn't good. The pilot was silent all the time.

Namche Heli from KTM

I had a long itinerary of EBC Trek and Gokyo Ri trek. So to reduce the days, I wanted to fly directly from Kathmandu to Namche Bazar. I also cut the acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. This flight not only helped me achieve my trek goal but also rewarded breathtaking view of Everest and other highest peaks.

Good Service

I had to cancel the heli KATHMANDU TO NAMCHE BAZAAR BY HELICOPTER due to persistent bad weather. Naba and I had a daily exchange of emails and calls. He suggested me to cancel and see in about a 3-4 days. Until then he suggested me CITY TOUR OF KATHMANDU and I did it exploring the UNESCO world heritage sites of Kathmandu. Finally after 3 days the weather was open for heli flight. I immediately booked it and flew to Namche Bazaar. It was great service by the company.

Must do heli tour .

It was an amazing experience to hover over the Himalayas from Kathmandu and reach Namche Bazaar in just about an hour. But make sure you know about weight limit. If you choose Third Rock for this, you need not worry about it. They will inform and help you with it. Also they have safety at the top priority.
