    Gorakshep to Lukla Helicopter Experience; Ending Everest Trek

    Helicopter with Aspiration Adventure from Gorakshep to Lukla after my trek to Everest Base Camp was incredible! Booking it was easy, and the flight itself was smooth and comfortable because the pilot was good and the helicopter was in great shape. Anjan was in contact with us throughout the trekking journey and make sure we reached the gorakshep in desired dates. After finding the accommodation at gorakshep, we just texted Anjan and we will pick up in the morning by helicopter team members and walk to Helipad together. Aspiration Adventure made sure everything was safe and they took good care of me. They were also flexible and professional, even though it cost more than other options, we are happy with it. It was the perfect way to end trekking in Everest, and I would definitely recommend them if you want to make your everest base camp journey even better.

    Helicopter transfers arranged with max efficiency

    We used the services of Aspiration Adventures to organise helicopter transfers to and from Lukla. I cannot praise the company highly enough for the quality of their service package. I was particularly happy that when we needed to change the date of our return, this was done smoothly and speedily. We were picked up and returned to our hotel, and the transfers could not have been more efficient. We'll done, Ajnan!
