    Flying from Tengboche Monastery to Lukla

    In order to avoid the trekking back, Me and My friends choose to fly from Tengboche to Lukla. Throughout my trekking, it was one of the finest choices. Anjan from Aspiration Adventure was really friendly and responsive, and the booking procedure was simple. Everything went perfectly on the day of the flight, and the helicopter flight was amazing. The aerial views of the Himalayas were really captivating. I strongly suggest taking helicopter flight after your trekking journey if you want to save time and effort.

    Tengboche Lukla on Helicopter Journey - Safe and Easy Back

    I planned the last minutes trek to Everest but easy trekking up to Namche Bazaar. After trekking for days at Everest region, my legs were exhausted, and I was ready to get back to Lukla. Taking the helicopter from Tengboche to Lukla is the wisest choice I made during the trek. Seeing the Himalayas from above was an entirely new experience, and the sights from the helicopter were just amazing. Everything was very simple with Aspiration Adventure from scheduling the flight to making sure we arrived on schedule time at Lukla. The helicopter was comfortable and easy, and the team displayed an exceptional level of professionalism.
