I met Mr. Kisan Thapa by chance last year in Kathmandu. We stayed in contact and this year I let him arrange the complete trip for me. From ultralights in Pokhara to local sightseeing to today’s once in a lifetime visit to Everest Base camp by helicopter. Highly recommended. Will be back next year!
