A LANDING at Kala Patthar near Everest Base Camp to view Mt Everest from the ground was the #1 thing we wanted to do while in Nepal. We contacted over 10 companies for this specific tour. Some said a landing wasn't possible. Most quoted me an insane cost to guarantee a landing on the helicopter tour. But Rising Adventure (Chandan) guaranteed a landing for a fair price. I was initially hesitant and questioning because many other companies told me different things.
Not only did we get to fly over the Everest Base Camp, but we also got our guaranteed landing at Kala Patthar and were able to take a picture in front of Mt Everest while standing on the ground.
I recommend touring with Rising Adventure because they will go out of their way to make sure you get what you want!

The experience was honestly a memory I will keep deep in my heart forever. I have seen the most stunning views and met some amazing people. It was definitely hard at times. I will honestly be sad to say goodbye to Hari as without him I don’t think the trip would have been half as good as it was. Hari is truly a wonderful, warming human being and took great care of us! I would recommended him to anyone! Until next time! Ciao :)

Chandan and his team are the best
Chandan his wife and lovely team treated us as special guests all the way from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble for this company. I am a demanding customer but couldn't fault the efforts to ensure we were happy with the experience. The personal touch was evident throughout. We chose the Helicopter trip to Kala Patthar and the Himalayas fly over. Both good but standing looking down at Basecamp and up at Mount Everest is one of those sublime moments that will be etched in our minds forever. Thank you Rising Adventure. We will use you again

he is a nice guide,if I come here for hiking next time, I will call him again, and if my friends come here,I also introduce them.

Once in a lifetime experience, but wasn't exactly as advertised. I originally was promised landing at Lukla and Pheriche (no Everest Base Camp), but we only landed at Everest View Hotel (3878 meters, versus Everest which is 8848 meters). The ride itself is breathtaking and enjoyable, and easy to do even for people who aren't in shape, or elderly. Cost is high, but how many times are you going to do this?

very well coordinated with reasonable pricing.

I am an experienced business and tourist traveller, and I've organised trips myself and via tour companies over many years,  I am just SO impressed by the services offered by Rising Adventure which is owned and operated by Chandan.  In fact I cannot recommend this company HIGHLY enough!!!  

My adult daughter and her friends booked via Chandan about 4 years ago for a trek.  Based on their positive experience, we decided to utilise this company again.  During this trip there were five in our group; three doing a trek and two including myself who wanted to travel in part separately and more broadly,   Chandan managed to work out affordable and excellent options for us all.  We had some days together, then apart covering the different interests and then back together again.   His coordinated efforts which we arranged in advance meant tbat I could literally sit back and relax and know that everything was taken care of.  This included pickup and drop off from airports,  hotels, busses, domestic airlines etc..and a number of meals were also included.  Rising adventure's services also included help with various unexpected problems eg money issues for our ongoing trip to India, problems with busses I had arranged separately, not to mention a delicious and very special "goodbye" dinner with -Chandan personally, his delightful wife and our lovely trek guide the night before our departure from Kathmandu.  

If you are looking for brilliant service at a VERY reaonsable price, Rising adventure is the company for you.   This is so highly recommended!

The intro, planning:

Finally, after a lot of planning and ban because of an unfortunate and sad heli crash, back to July, limitations, restrictions... we could make this happen in December: Kalaphatar heli tour. Chandan was so patient, all the time with me from distant too, as someone who represents Nepal's overall culture and shiny side very well! He was attentive all the way and treated me like a family member. He even visited me in the hotel before the day of the flight, what is unusual in the days of growing technocracy. We could've solved the payment online too, but he felt as well important to meet in person, to build friendship and to be the face of his country.
He is really respectful too, and thankful if there is mutual trust and the love of that mountaneous area. As well he took notes about we discussed all the way to improve the business, so that is full humbleness too.
As we had of course some issues and logistics or to get ground of common understanding too, and things to be resolved, but for now all those are gone.
I'll definitely be his contributor in the 'Western' Region, and hope to bring him more and more Customers! I really hope that I was not the first and last of it but only the pioneer of this exact type of adventure from our region(s).

About the flight itself:

It was a bit too rushy, but by the hour, so no big complaints. I actually wanted to do a kind of record-breaking experiment again (just when I went beyond the Northern and South Circle (66) just in 2 weeks, 2-2 times), to have this all packed into a day (or much less), so nothing to push onto Chandan, who just tried to help in this. ;) Yes, I had that much time left that I could do a bit of city tour, and still arrived for my 9PM flight to the airport, hours before...
The pilot was originally fun and everything started smooth, however it was a bit uncertain where we are at a certain moment during the tour, so a bit more communication and agreements beforehand could've been better to get sync between him and the Company, as well maybe, and/or if Chandan or another rep. would fly too, it may be easier. This gap is just about the communication segment, since I felt myself all the time safe, we agreed about the heli's parameters are so fitting to that area (much more than a plane's would) and had a good mood chat about the mountains, but there was still a bit of uncertainty left, what should be the exact spots for scenic view, and how many times and where to stop and so. All may be about time vs. money (both were quite fixed for that time between Company and Customer), but neither should be a surprise (less or more) for none of the parties in the story, but should be figured out and not only by intuitions or indications but in advance, and not 'inside' the experience.
Otherwise yes, the pilot was a real expert, the heli was nice and the views... look at the pictures and you'd want to be there right now! :)
I got some friends too on the way, it was a nice meeting with hikers, sherpas and those who we picked up on the way. So it was a good improvisation of local-feeling too, outside the hotels too.
