Everest Base Camp helicopter tour recommendations please
I am trekking to Everest Base Camp in April and would like to return for a day the easier way by helicopter after the trek and am looking for recommendations of charter companies but can only find 'Nepal Helicopter Service' , are there others and would welcome recommendations ?
Thank you

Helicopter operations in Nepal seem to be in a “State of Flux” lately.
Nepal Helicopter Scam $20m worth.
I suggest looking long and hard at safety stats etc before booking and don’t risk paying for anything except a small deposit ahead of time.
Folks with better knowledge will be along shortly to advise.

I talked to two highly experienced friends about 6 months ago who were flying there.
They were both heading for the exit via direct at VNE ( adjusted for altitude and mass of course gawd I hate that term…I would have luved to have been in the long, high level meeting when it was decided to change “Gross Weight” to “Mass” ).
They stated that wx, loads and general safety considerations were increasingly being met with threats and abuse.
