Fantastic Everest Helicopter Tour
We recently done the Everest helicopter tour organized by Hari Bhatta of Life Dream Adventure. Hari is a good communicator and was with us in every step of the way from initial planning to finish of the tour. We had some amazing views of Kala Patther and Mount Everest during our helicopter ride. The service was really satisfying. We highly recommend Life Dream Adventure Tours for organizing Mountain heli-tours. The team was professional and highly attentive to customers.

Fascinating trip with a helicopter return from Kalapatthar
I have had completed my mission Everest base camp trek! I am pleased with the trekking and return helicopter service provided by the Life Dream Adventure. Since the start of our conversation; they are an accommodating, professional, and an experienced team, quickly solving issues, finding the best solution services during the tour (domestic flight was changed to a helicopter right to Lukla), and providing ongoing support (Quick WhatsApp response from Hari). The Life Dream Adventure team has a strong connection with Airlines and Helicopter Company so that they changed my flight easily to helicopter. Before start our trek we needed extra porter our guide Sabin quickly arranged at Lukla. We could relax and complete the trek with the guide and porter full services and support. (Also got extra blankets in guesthouse our guide ask to hotel for blankets every night)
This experience was defiantly one of the most enjoyable and very well guided trips. We highly recommended to Life Dream Adventure.
