    Wonderful helicopter trip from Lukla to Gorakshep

    Our family decided to go on the EBC trek at the last minute, and I was unsure of what to do. While looking on the internet, I learned about Nepal Trek Adventures & Expedition. I explained my trekking plans with them, and they recommended that I fly to Gorakshep, trek to EBC, and then fly back to Lukla. I was incredibly delighted when the ride and journey were over, and I will always appreciate those experiences. My family and I had a fantastic time on the trip and we truly appreciate NTA for planning such a wonderful helicopter trip from Lukla to Gorakshep and Gorakshep to Lukla the return flight.I highly recommend this helicopter flight to everyone with the NTA team.
