Reviews About Trip

I planned a memorable birthday surprise for my family by booking a private helicopter tour to Everest Base Camp. The experience was beyond incredible! Flying amidst the mighty Himalayas was awe-inspiring, and reaching the base camp was a dream come true. The views were breathtaking, and sharing this adventure with my loved ones made it even more special. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making my birthday genuinely extraordinary!

I travelled during peak season, and there were no flights from Kathmandu to Lukla. As a result, we had to take a flight to Manthali first and then another flight to Lukla. This was quite time-consuming and frustrating, but I understood it was the only option available. However, the views were breathtaking once we finally arrived in Lukla and boarded the helicopter. The flight was smooth, and the pilot was very skilled. We saw stunning mountain ranges and landscapes that I will never forget. I would recommend this tour, but just be aware that alternative transportation methods may be necessary during the peak season to reach your destination.

 

The Mountain Rock jeep service was a godsend for our EBC trek! The private jeep (5-seater Scorpio) of Mountain Rock provided mobility to visit local markets and monasteries en route. The driver provided good Sherpa cultural information on the Kathmandu-Salleri drive (14 hours). The Salleri-Surke road was rough, but the team provided cushions and motion sickness pills. We arrived at the Lukla faster than friends who flew in and with no altitude headaches. Their crisis management is very helpful during the Lukla flight uncertainties.

The guide offered excellent care, especially when I was sick due to altitude. He took me to the hospital and made sure that I was okay before he left. With all the difficulties while being a solo traveller in Nepal, I was left overwhelmed with gratitude for the warmth and support I received during this difficult time. Tour organiser Deepak even came and picked me up from the hospital and later dropped me in Lukla for my further journey back home. It was not just their unwavering dedication and thoughtful service but also the sense that they were committed to serving customer satisfaction. I highly thank Mountain Rock Treks for turning my trek into a memorable and safe adventure.

It was a fairly easy hike; thoroughly enjoyed the trail and observed the daily lives of people, their culture, their traditions, and all. The accommodations at guesthouses en route are modest and tidy, with some even offering WiFi. I had the privilege of meeting truly remarkable individuals who shared similar interests, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Remember to bring bottled water for your daily trek.

Our group of 11 persons had a fantastic day walking to EBC and Gokyo Lakes through the Chola Pass from Phaplu. Our guides and assistant guides, Deepak, Dawa, and Mingma, were all exceedingly helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our needs. We had a fantastic time. Both the EBC and Chola Pass treks were breathtakingly gorgeous and fun. Thank you so much to the entire team for making the event memorable! I would contact them again in the future without a doubt.

The entire package was flawlessly organised, overcoming the Lukla flight challenges seamlessly thanks to Deepak's efficient management. At each stop, accommodations were always clean and comfortable, with a sleeping bag being offered and a good down jacket included in the package. No need to worry about special preferences in a specific room; all possibilities were at the same high level. Tea House menus covered every possible option, including three meals daily in generous portions, making eating comfortable. Overall, the trip was easy to complete, thanks to the support of the Mountain Rock Treks team. 

I can't recommend the Gokyo Valley Everest Base Camp Heli Trek enough! The combination of stunning landscapes, challenging trekking routes, and the convenience of a helicopter ride back to Kathmandu made this journey exceptional. The affordability of this package was a pleasant surprise, considering the incredible experience it provided. Don't miss out on this affordable adventure.
