What good is it to observe things in parts when they are meant to be seen as the complete whole? The mesmerizing grandeur of the Himalayan border stretching between Nepal and Tibet can only be described once you have witnessed the full picture and with individual trekking routes, it will take you years to see them all and still find out that you have missed the tiny peak on the edge. With the Flight over the Himalayas by helicopter, we offer you once in a lifetime journey to witness the Himalayas complete and the way they were meant to be seen in the first place. 

The journey heading out of Kathmandu Valley begins with stunning views of Shishapangma (8,013m) flanked by Dorje Lakpa (6,996m) to its immediate right. The aerial adventure heads towards Choba Bhamara and at 5,993m it is the smallest of the lot. We soon find ourselves headed towards the twin peaks of Gaurishankar (7,145m) where either peak is believed to be protected by the Hindu deity Lord Shiva and his consort Devi Gauri. Soaring above the glacial ridges over the eastern Himalayas brings us to Melungtse (7,181m) and once past the glistening Number (6,958m) and Karyolung (6,511m) lies Cho-Oyu the world's sixth tallest mountain at an altitude of 8,188m. We head towards Pumori (7,165m) followed by Nuptse (7,861m) which translates to west peak signifying the direction it faces from Mt. Everest. The crowned jewel in the Himalayan crown stretching towards the silvery skyline reaching an elevation of 8,848m will be the icing on the cake as the journey finally overlooks the majestic Everest. The snowy peaks turning golden with the rising sun which casts an ethereal glow on the Himalayas is truly a memory to last a lifetime. Having our fill of the Himalayan adventure the flight turns back to Kathmandu where breakfast awaits us. 

Flight Over Himalayas, albeit short, is a trip that makes for a memorable experience and we, here at Nepal Social Treks and Expedition, offer the best of services and safety measures to make sure that you can fully enjoy the Himalayan display.

  • Avoid anything that restricts body movement
  •  Even though we don’t stop anywhere during the trip it is essential to wear warm clothes

Temperature

The temperature around the Himalayan ranges almost always stays under sub-zero reaching even -40 degree Celsius on average during winter. The changing seasons bring alteration in climate around the region and while it is normal for the temperatures to drop below 0 degrees Celsius in peaks stretching to 7,000 or 8,000 meters the peaks falling under the elevation of 5,000 to 7,000 can display positive temperatures during spring.

An Unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Experience!

We had an absolutely incredible experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Nepal Social Treks and Expedition, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From beginning to end, everything was exceptionally well organized, but what truly made this adventure unforgettable was our amazing team: our guide, Achut Pandey, and our two porters, Niran and Thirtna. Achut was an outstanding guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, kind, and always attentive to how everyone was feeling. Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp can be challenging, and having someone we trusted completely made such a difference. Achut knew the mountains and trails incredibly well, kept us informed about what to expect each day, and always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying the experience. His warmth, encouragement, and sense of humor made even the difficult stretches of the trek enjoyable. Niran and Thirtna were equally amazing. We have so much respect and gratitude for them. They worked incredibly hard throughout the trek and always greeted us with kindness and a smile. If you are considering trekking in Nepal, we wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Social Treks & Expedition. And if you have the opportunity to trek with Achut, Niran, and Thirtna, consider yourself very lucky!

Nepal Social Treks helped us turn a dream into reality.

We have just completed the Annapurna Base Camp private trek with my husband, and it was truly a dream come true! Our guide, Urken Sherpa, was incredibly calm, caring, and supportive throughout the trek. We really appreciated the peace, silence, and privacy of having a private trek. Our porter, Milan, was always smiling and brought so much positive energy to our days. His kindness and cheerful attitude made a real difference throughout the journey. It was our first time in Nepal, and Nepal Social Treks helped us turn a dream into reality. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience and cannot recommend Urken, Milan, and Nepal Social Treks highly enough! Thank you for making this adventure so memorable. ❤️

Trekking Everest Base Camp

I booked the Everest Base Camp trek with this agency, and from the very beginning they were always available to answer any questions or doubts I had. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, my guide was fantastic, and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather throughout the trek. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Can’t wait to come back for another trekking ☺️ Highly recommended!

I booked the 5 day Around Kathmandu Valley tour for my family which was a great experience. Bhim was our tour guide and Deepak drove us around for the five days. The tour went very smoothly and didn't feel rushed at all. Since we went in the tourism off-season, all the stupas, temples, and UNESCO sites weren't very busy. We were able to finish the day's content by 4pm each day, giving plenty of time to rest for the next day. Bhim was very knowledgeable about each site, Nepali history, and was very receptive to our questions on Nepali culture. The hotels for this tour were also great. In particular, "hotel view point" in Nagarkot had a fantastic 360 view, as it actually is at the top of Nagarkot rather than a lot of other hotels down on the slopes. The view was incredible and we got to see some of the Himalayas, which we considered fairly lucky as we went during the cloudy, foggy monsoon season. Nepal Social Treks took complete care of everything from airport pick up to the hotels, and this was just an absolutely no-stress vacation to do some light cultural exploration of Nepal. Overall, would strongly recommend this tour and Nepal Social Treks!

I booked my trip through Nepalviaje (website in spanish) and from the first moment everything was perfect. Starting with Fernando that was answering really fast all our questions, when we arrive to Kathmandu the person waiting for us in the airport was absolutely fantastic, he wait over and hour for us cause it tooks a while to get out of the airport, the hotel for the first and last night is absolutely brilliant, when you arrive to the Office everything is super clear and they make you feel at home. The Trek is a experience of a lifetime, our guide Lhakpa IS the best guide ever and will not only guide you all the way to the base camp but show you things about culture and take care about every single details, lodges are always fantastic with a huge variaty of food. We made it with other girl and all of us reach EBC, Lhakpa will give you all the good advices to make it and the company will take care of everything, even the last day Basu(the manager of the company) call us to provide a helicopter service to come back to Kathmandu as the weather in Lukla was mean to be bad for a couple of days. 10/10 for this company and all the people involve on it

I completed the Everest Base Camp trek starting from Jiri, and it was simply an unforgettable experience. A long and authentic journey, away from the usual routes, that allowed me to experience Nepal in a deep and genuine way. From the very first day, the agency was fantastic: excellent organization, great support, and constant availability. I always felt well taken care of and never had to worry about anything. A truly special thanks to Anchal Magar, who was an outstanding guide in every sense. (A real friend) Always present, attentive, and highly professional, he showed great sensitivity in understanding my needs, adapting the pace and itinerary with care and intelligence. In the most challenging moments, he was a fundamental point of reference, providing reassurance and confidence. Beyond his skills, what stood out the most was his humanity, kindness, and dedication, rare qualities that made this experience even more meaningful. An experience I will carry with me forever!
