This is a once in a lifetime experience! While I had to shuffle the date around a few times due to weather, it was very much worth the wait. The tour operator (Mr. Bharat ) and pilot ( Mr Sedai) were both extremely professional and experienced. If you’re in Kathmandu and thinking about this experience, don’t pass it up. It will be a memory you will never forget!
