A Spiritually Powerful Experience with Eco Holidays Nepal
I did the Muktinath Helicopter Tour with Eco Holidays Nepal, and I was truly surprised it turned out to be the best moment of my trip. What made it so special was the unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist culture at Muktinath. The spiritual energy of the place was incredible. Bathing in the cold water from the 108 taps and the two sacred ponds gave me a different kind of motivation. Watching people do this in such freezing temperatures made me feel that with strong faith, anyone can overcome anything. Thank you to Eco Holidays Nepal for arranging such a powerful and unforgettable experience.

Amazing Alternative Route to Everest Base Camp with Eco Holidays Nepal
I’m from the USA, and I always thought flying was the only way to start the Everest Base Camp trek. Thanks to Eco Holidays Nepal, I discovered there’s another option going by vehicle from Jiri and it was such a fantastic experience. Traveling by road gave me a chance to see more of Nepal and made the journey feel even more special.
The trek was perfectly organized, and the team at Eco Holidays Nepal provided excellent service throughout. I truly enjoyed every moment of this unique adventure. Highly recommended!

A Memorable Muktinath Helicopter Tour
I am from India and my parents wanted to visit Muktinath because they are religious. They have been to many places in India as well as Nepal. I researched the ways to go to Muktinath and found that there are options like jeep and bus, and another is flight. But there is no direct flight to Muktinath, only to Jomsom. I saw that the helicopter is the best way. My parents had never been in a helicopter before and finally I decided on the helicopter.
I contacted Mr. Dhruba and we were in Kathmandu. The vehicle came to our hotel and we completed the religious tour to Muktinath. I am very thankful that Mr. Dhruba helped me in this tour. The service was very nice and the views from the helicopter were amazing. I want to thank all the team of Eco Holidays Nepal, the pilot, and all the people who helped me.
